Hello! Your instance has been added to our monitoring system: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/89VnzSKAn/795785436
You need to wait 30 days before we add your instance, this is to evaluate that your instance will keep a good uptime for one month.

Make sure you double checked all the mandatory checks or this will slow down the process of adding your instance!

Please consult these two important tutorials:

• Escaping the YouTube block (403 errors in playback): https://docs.invidious.io/ipv6-rotator/

• Improving the performance and the stability of your public instance: https://docs.invidious.io/improve-public-instance/

It is highly recommended to follow these tutorials because it will allow the instance to stay stable and performant over the long term.

Please consider joining the Matrix room for public instance maintainers by joining our Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#invidious:matrix.org
then pinging @ unixfox, @ TheFrenchGhosty and @ SamantazFox for asking to be invited to the Matrix room.
We discuss troubles managing a public instance, sharing some advices and more.

Make sure you have implemented what is explained in https://docs.invidious.io/ipv6-rotator/ or at least an alternative solution.

Otherwise DASH and "proxy" won't work on your instance once youtube detect that it is running invidious and block it.

[n8pjl]

Unfortunately I can't implement the linked solution with my current setup. As such, I disabled DASH and proxy for the time being.

I will (hopefully) be able to set up a new server in the next few months on which I will be able to enable proxy (and host libreddit again).

[unixfox]

Indeed it only applies to instances that allow DASH or/and proxy.

[unixfox]

It is now apply to all the instances, whenever you are running dash or not.

We can't add your instance to the list without some kind of rotating IP sorry.

[n8pjl]

I noticed, and spent the time a few days ago to enable rotating ipv6 addresses. As an added bonus, DASH and proxy have been re-enabled.
