Improve Stealth Mode - it is currently detected by Google
While using Stealth Mode, YouTube is now consistently asking me to sign in, to "prove that I am not a bot". This did not happen in the past. When disconnecting from Proton VPN, YouTube no longer is asking for a sign in. So obviously Google is able to detect the difference between a "Stealth" connection and a normal connection. This would disqualify this protocol as being "Stealth". Please improve Stealth Mode.

This is common with many websites. The site knows I'm on a VPN and just won't allow me to connect. More and more websites are doing this making a VPN unusable.

What? Stealth is just a method to connect to a VPN server, that's it. Services only see you connecting from the server, not how you have connected to it.

I also see some websites blocking access via CloudFlare with all protocols getting blocked.

Stealth mode is used to bypass blocks in your network, not something where you wanna go, steal exist, just to bypass restrictions like censorship in countries

In theory, whether or not you use privacy mode only affects your own traffic and won't affect how Google sees your traffic. Google technically cannot know this; it might be your misconception, or the server IP configured with privacy mode might just be under Google's risk control.

It does this with or without a VPN but it should be improved 100 percent

Is it doing the same with non stealth connection?
Because it's seems more like an exit point problem than the protocol used.
