I realize this is a really silly request, but I absolutely refuse to watch YouTube videos without a proxy frontend let alone logging into a google account.

I’ve been wanting to watch dnsl’s “Fallout RP is serious business” but it’s age restricted.

Does anybody know either of a way to bypass the age restriction or can just send me the video? I’ve tried everything I know short of giving in and signing into YouTube.

      First thing I tried but I think you need to provide it with your YouTube login cookie to download age restricted content.

        That sucks, i thought i had used it before to get some music videos.

        I think newPipe has an age restriction toggle in its settings, its available on android, not sure about ios, pretty sure not available on desktops.

        Its been a while since ive needed to do this.
