Google ONE VPN suddenly no longer allows yts.mx - Sept 2025

Yesterday yts.mx stops loading on my Android phone.  I checked and their status sight says its up.  So I wonder, could it be Google's VPN?


I like the free internet.  I like the ability to do whatever I want, and use a VPN to stop anyone snooping on me.  

Torrent technology and peer2peer networking is a super powerful tech that USA fears to protect IP, and as a result has crippled USA technological innovation in network speed and other countries have 100x faster internet at half the cost (or 1000x faster at 1/4 the cost!!).

I used to use NordVPN and loved it, but then Google ONE said I would get free VPN with my Pixel 7 Pro.

So I ended my NordVPN (which was unfortunate as I used it on non-Google phones & computers) and switched, saving $4 or so per month.

Sp today as a test, I went to Opera Browser and enabled their built in VPN (which adds a layer of VPN blocking Google from knowing what Opera VPN sees) while leaving Google's active.  Boom!  YTS.MX page loads.  

Using two VPNs can cause slowness.  But this was a test, and GoogleVPN has failed me...

And now I can confirm that Google has -- for some idiotic reason, and it could be a mistake too -- decided to block users off from the internet.

tsk tsk.  And I thought "do no evil" was in the corporate charter.
