Is it needed for watching smarttube ona firestick

There’s no particular reason why it would be necessary. I mean no more than hiding your internet behavior from your ISP for anything else. It’s not illegal for you to have or use this app. At worst it might be violation of Google terms of service if you log in but your ISP would have no involvement in that

I don’t see why it would be

4

Why would it be? It’s related to watching stuff not available in regions.

5

No VPN. Used for years with no issues.

6

But if you’re watching YouTube without any ads and logged in to your main account, would that not be noticeable?

Hey, no its not possible i used it for years now + VPN is hiding your ip etc, but when you LOGGED IN its not helping you :wink: BR

8

VPN hide your activity from your ISP not YouTube.

Yeah if you’re logged in Google knows anyway. They might not know you’re watching it through a third party alternative and I don’t know of anybody it’s ever been in trouble for watching one through a third party alternative.

They’re having some efforts from Google to stop this kind of development on the developer side but not really punish the user side so much. Other than occasionally breaking the functionality of these things.

Presumably they mean by Google. Though using a VPN wouldn’t really matter. If you are logged in to your account they’d know that way.
