Findings about youtube googlevideo.com IP restriction
Raw
README.md
  • you can load the same googlevideo.com URL without any redirect on the same /48 IPv6 subnet
  • as long as it's still the same ISP you can load the same googlevideo.com URL but you will get a strange redirect with content-type plain/text with the new URL to use
  • on youtube.com any change in the IP address that doesn't concern the two first points will trigger a request to the player endpoint for new video streams
