The site gets a ton of use and I was/am pushing about 20TB of traffic through a box with 512MB of RAM. I've moved the site over to my own infrastructure in the Netherlands and gave it a lot more resources to handle the traffic.

https://tube.incognet.io/

Keep in mind that it may still temporarily resolve to the old server until the DNS updates propagate globally. Connections over IPV6 should work now, too.

Also, the index will repopulate with popular videos once users from the new instance start requesting them. May take a day or two.

Tor/I2P/Yggdrasil network access still resolves to the old server but I may keep it like that for a week or so just to get an idea of how much traffic is getting used between those networks and the clearnet. No real way for me to measure it but I reckon' 95%+ comes from the clearnet.

Hell, I bought https://incogtube.com and it resolves over it as well now. I'll propably do a redirect from tube.incognet.io to incogtube.com in the future.

I try to use Peertube and Odysee instead of Youtube because I don´t believe the solution to Youtube tracking is to play cat and mouse with Google, the solution is to have an alternative platform that respects privacy and freespeech, but lots of valuable content can be found in Youtube and sometims I still have to visit so thank you for the proxy.

What YouTube has that others don't is content. I can't use any alternative as a daily-driver like I can with YouTube. Can't find the music I want, obscure videos on how to replace a random part on an old Mercedes car, or reviews on solar inverters or stand up comedy bits, etc.

The alternative platforms seemingly only shine in hosting content that YouTube doesn't allow. Unfortunately, until they also host content that YouTube does allow they'll never be a normal, mainstream alternative.

So that's why I use Invidious, to at least watch the content that I do like (hosted on YouTube) in a more private way.

If you ever watch Invidious on clearnet, Freetube might be useful (I don't know if it works over Tor). It uses Invidious, and it will proxy subscriptions without signup. It's in beta, and there are some aggravations, but I think sometimes it comes from problems with the invidious instances.

The privacy-redirect FF add-on (for clearnet) will direct YT links to Invidious (or auto-open them in Freetube). I use the first one because the layout of search results seems a little better in Invidious, but I still use Freetube more, due to the single-click subscription proxies that you can group into folders. Currently, comments won't display in Freetube. Also, you can't comment from a proxied subscription (naturally).

Also, Piped proxies YT videos. https://piped.kavin.rocks/ It appends long search results and large channels at the "end-of-page". Sometimes a search-on-page for keywords will find desired vids quicker than paging through invidious. I also dropped a piped address(es) in freetube, and it seemed to work. I didn't check if it somehow just resolved to an invidious instance.
