i2pd offers a http proxy server, it works well.

i2pd is great, if you are ok with flat config files and no limits.

  1. Nope, the site doesn't work with either because it is already down.
  2. I2pd rocks, and so as the other clients, as long it works well with whomever uses them.

Well, you just answered your own question. Tube.i2p used to be an anonymous YT frontend, but in reality it was so slow and unreliable, so don't even bother.

If you need to, you can simply use an outproxy and connect directly to any YT frontend of your choice that is near you; would be more reliable than an eepsite/hidden-service. It's also a good idea to create a separate profile for your outproxy use-cases, especially for installing extensions like Libredirect, Sponsorblock, etc..

Thanks Chronic. Think I can use https://git.mills.io/prologic/tube from here since it seems a bit more useful and stuff? I'm sure it could be worth a try hosting a separate video host or something.

You're Welcome, I haven't heard of this project before, so I can't say if you should use it or not. I usually just use Invidious/Piped instances, and sometimes Freetube as well, however It's still a good thing that there are alternatives. For Tube, If you already compiled it and it works well with you, let me know if it's worth the build.

Curiously, I was wondering if there were any clients written in Rust, and I found this. It uses Tauri and I like the fact this it is way less bloated and more efficient than Electron clients (e.g. Freetube). Though, the RustyTube project is still in its early stages, but still sounds cool to give it a try nonetheless.
