can you use a web host as a vpn?

Absolutely. I’ve run my traffic through my servers in the past with Wireguard in the past.

do you know if vps are usually considered bots under the eye of websites such as yt?
I usually see more captchas when going through my VPS. That’s probably because it’s not a residential IP address. Youtube has gotten really picky lately, they will probably make you sign in after watching a couple of videos.
