  • Some possible issues are:

    It could be a honeypot. While this likely won’t be the case, if you connect to a website and download directly from there, depending on your browser and os, general privavy and anonymity, they might be able to fingerprint you. Check against some other databases from sites that you visited today that have your real name and you’re bust. Unlikely, but possible.

    If the website gets shut down because of suspicion of malicious activity and they intentified visitors, again, through a fingerprint or similar, it’s beasically the same as a honeypot.

    So basically, the complexity of modern web browsing is the general issue. How do you circumvent this? Ideally you don’t. Just use a torrent with a p2p VPN in a secure and anonymous manner and you don’t even have to worry about your Javascript canvas.




  • It is, yes. The issue being they might ban your ip address, which is the first reason why the instances are not playing videos specifically, and then you can not access Youtube servers from the IP you called the servers from. For example, if you use it this way from home without a vpn or orbot, you will likely not be able to access the Youtube servers after a ban from any device that is running over your router directly to the Youtube servers and not over a VPN. I do not know why they do this though, might just be the sheer amount of requests. Not sure, though just don’t. Use protection. An Internet condom. Orbot is free and so is the free version of Proton VPN. Do not use random free VPNs though. If the VPN gets banned you slip on another condom.
