Preflight Checklist

  • I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
  • I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

In Korea, YouTube Music is only accessible to users with a YouTube Premium subscription, making it unavailable for many potential users. This forces users to rely on external VPNs or other workarounds to bypass the region restrictions, leading to a fragmented and inconvenient experience.

Proposed Solution

Implement a built-in bypass plugin that automatically circumvents the region restrictions without requiring the user to set up a separate VPN. The plugin could include a simple toggle in the settings, enabling users to activate the bypass feature (or built-in VPN functionality) seamlessly, thereby improving the overall user experience for those affected by regional limitations.

Alternatives Considered

Current workarounds involve manually configuring and using third-party VPN services or other bypass methods. While these can be effective, they are cumbersome and not integrated into the app, leading to a less streamlined user experience.

Additional Information

This feature request is intended to enhance accessibility for users in regions like Korea where YouTube Music usage is limited by geographic restrictions.

  1. You can configure a proxy in app. (Advanced configuration)
  2. We are not planning to provide built-in VPN servers due to cost and management issues.
