My thought was that (maybe) the server (aka fathom in this case) could be the one that has the active youtube session so that it fetches the stream and then uploads it to the client. Acting like a proxy of sorts. To youtube, the user is always where the server is, but you can move around freely without issues.

    Yeah except that YouTube support told me that they can detect if you're using a vpn or no. At least in my case, using ProtonVPN that seems to be the case because when I try to subscribe to premium, it says that they can't verify my country.

    I'm assuming the youtube client is precisely that, right? Meaning that it's the client that fetches the stream, not the server. Asking because Google's been very annoying about not veing able "verify my country" due to travelling for extended periods of time. So I'm trying to find a way to spoof my location.

    First, Spain (and I'm not reading this ridiculous wall of text).

    Second, Argentina.

    Third, England.

    Fourth, France.

    Fifth, my country's "past accolade" was 2 years ago. Which is the least amount of time possible after losing the world cup.
