I’m using LibreTube for a very long time and I often switch between different instances when the one I use stops working. I noticed that instances without CDN work more reliably for me and they don’t even have this recent “sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot” error. But on the official wiki it says that instances with CDN are preferred. What is this thing and are there any concerns when using an instance without it?

    Huh that is much different to what I thought it was. Thank you very much for the explanation and add it to the official documentation when?

    Also I have another question: is CDN mandatory for the LibreTube’s proxy system to work?

      My apologies, I should’ve prefaced that my experience with CDNs come as a developer, but not for LibreTube. Think of it more as an overarching explanation of what a CDN is, and not for how LibreTube makes use of it as I don’t possess that information.
