bug description
I’m trying to fetch videos on my self-hosted platform, but I’m encountering an issue with YouTube.login, and it seems like my IP has been blocked by Google. What could be the solution to this problem? Should I use a proxy to bypass this restriction? If I use a proxy, will my download speed remain the same, or will it be affected?
reproduction steps
Make curl to cobalt self hosted port using my vps.

if you use a proxy, your downloading speed will depend on the speed & latency of a proxy in question. but yes, if your ip is blocked by google, you can use a proxy to go around it.
please use an appropriate issue template in the future (instance hosting help)!
