@nano I have an AdGuard gateway at home and it seems we've all been forced into restricted mode on YouTube when it's on.

I haven't found the *exact* trigger, I have a number of filters set up but it goes back to normal if I flip the switch and turn off the filtering entirely.

@gooba42 @nano I recently switched my dns to adguard and had the same thing happen to me in the app. Restricted mode until I switched to another dns. I have YouTube premium so I don't have anything restricted for the app. It appears to be something specific to adguard.

@Karnbot13 @nano Same here with the premium which *really* made me mad.

Worse, my Android phone likes to pretend it can't find a connection sometimes when the DNS is through AdGuard.
