Just got one a month ago. Doesn’t work for YouTube ads, which was my primary use case. In Canada, we don’t have YouTube Red, and thus there’s no way to buy out of the ads.
Also I loaded all block lists marked as safe. Yet many sites are broken.
Now I’m contemplating as to how best to repurpose the Pi.
- crtasm 8y agoMake a Youtube-dl server? Or run kodi+YouTube and watch on your TV with no ads.
- technofiend 8y agoUse it to carry all your traffic to a US-based host via VPN and purchase YouTube Red with a US address? Hacky, I know.
- r3bl 8y agoYou'd have to be connected to the VPN at all times to use it. The minute you're not using it, all the Red features disappear, regardless if you have an active subscription or not[0]. So your option is to have an always-on VPN. If you're doing that from your phone, you might as well install NetGuard, which is a no-root open source adblocking solution that MitMs your connections by pretending to be a VPN, and is available on Google Play. Works with YouTube, and doesn't require monthly subscription. [0] Source: Activated the YouTube Red trial when I was on a travel to the US, and lost all the benefits the moment I landed home.
- greenshackle2 8y agoSince mid-June it's been renamed YouTube Premium and you can get it in Canada.
- moltar 8y agoSweet! Thank you for letting me know! Problem solved :D
