First time this happens to me. With a German protonvpn server.

      Unfortunately NewPipe will not help with that. I get this message in a browser and in NewPipe.

        Have you tried if yt-dlp works? Cuz if that also doesnt, then maybe they actually temporarily blocked your IP?

        I have never gotten this message on yt so cant test it.
