Run this to generate your visitor_data and po_token
docker run quay.io/invidious/youtube-trusted-session-generator
Clone the repo in link below (step 2) and paste those values into your docker_compose.yml file in the appropriate fields. Also, generate a nice long string for the hmac_key
This does give you an “identity” with YouTube, but you can generate new tokens as often as you want, replace them in your yml, and restart the container.
Once the container is running, update FreeTube settings abs change the “current invidious instanc” to http://localhost:3000/
Try the Freetube or Grayjay client, they work for me with VPN.
Depends in the VPN. I’m having to use multi-hop now with Freetube but with that turned on it is working consistently for me again.
I spun up my own invidious container and that has made my connection far more consistent.
Ay any tips?
You can run it as a docker, pretty easily.
