I didn’t try to use VPN, just always have it on and had to turn it off to watch the ISU feed for juniors on YouTube. I can watch other things on YouTube with my VPN on, so must be ISU cracking down.
VPN tips, advice, recommendations, etc.

No, it's YT in general. Also, Jr Worlds isn't geo-blocked anywhere, so there would be no need for a VPN.

Yes, I know it’s not blocked. I just always have my VPN on. It is back on now and I can watch a travel vlogger just fine. If I try to go back and watch anything On ISU I get the VPN message. So not all of YouTube.

Or the travel vlogger doesn't want anything geoblocked????

I follow 35 channels. Only Olympics and ISU give me the VPN message. All the others work. So as I said, not all of YouTube.

I just tried this out out of curiosity. I’m in Germany and turned on my ExpressVPN (to Great Britain) and I still can watch the ISU channel with Junior Worlds. So I guess it might also depend on the browser and country of origin.

Actually all the Junior Worlds individual videos were groblocked in the USA until today (fixed now).

I did a Reddit YouTube dive and it appears if you get a dedicated IP through your VPN this will circumvent the situation. I have Nord. It’s $4.69 a month. This close to the end of the season I’m not going to bother as I can watch Worlds live on Peacock. If anyone does this, let us know if it works.
