That stack have been problematic for a month or two, had to swtich multiple mullvad servers until a video is playable. Today, YT just returned "IP blocked" regardless the server or the video.

Anyone else?

YouTube tends to block "unusual" connections from large datacenters because of invidious instances running on them. By "unusual" it means invidious, freetube, Grayjay, etc. Anything not using the youtube API. You'll have to use a vpn service or privacy frontend run on residential IPs if you want youtube to work.
