Bypass the YT website entirely.

You can perform video search through DuckDuckGo, Invidious, or Piped.

The latter two are often blocked themselves, copy the video URL and feed to mpv to play through your preferred video player on the command-line:

<https://mpv.io/>

Clarifying: Invidious/Piped video playback (and often the video webpage itself) may be blocked, even if the search pages work.

Recent mpv / ytdl can almost always gain access. If you are blocked, check for updates to ytdl (which mpv typically uses for video/media downloading).
