#YouTube has become more and more problematic throwing error messages for all sorts of reasons. Most things i watch are there given the sheer amount and variety of content vs. Peertube.

I use #FreeTube and at times have to change #VPN connections in order to watch videos, at times some will only open in a browser.

It's definitely a hot mess. I wish #Peertube were a viable alternative for more than just #foss stuff but alas, it's not even close for most of what people watch/want.

New IP leak discovered in Telegram: the built-in proxy exposes your real IP using a single-click flaw!

When you click on a "tg://proxy" link, Telegram starts a connection while ignoring your proxy settings. This exposes your real public IP address, leaking your identity online.

The malicious link appears as a nickname, but will steal your real IP address as soon as the user profile is shown. Android and iOS are both affected. Currently the only solution is using a VPN. Telegram has declared that it will only add a warning popup.
