Piped gives "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" error even after sign on.
Starting 01 September Piped started giving this error after sign on and clicking on any video.

Maybe it has something to do with YouTube being currently blocked in Russia (where I am trying to access it). Please, check if it is possible to fix this error and continue watching YouTube via Piped. Thank you!

This error does not mean that you are signed in or not. The error means that YouTube is asking the Piped proxy to sign in with a YouTube account, probably because it has been detecting quite the weird behavior of a single IP address viewing too many videos at once.

Thanks for the reply. Does that mean that Piped uses a single IP for the proxy and cannot open any videos because of that? That kinda sucks because I really liked this service and it no longer works...

Tangential, may solve anyway:
Yt-dlp gave me that same sign-in error instead of downloading a video. Google flagged something with an IP address, I think, because switching to another one in my vpn and refreshing the browser tab worked instantly.

Tried with Censor Tracker plugin for Firefox. Didn't solve the error, still writes "Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot".

This is an ongoing issue with most (all?) of these 3rd party apps. There are fixes in the works but nothing released yet I don't think.
For example, see this bug with Invidious, which has a fix currently undergoing testing, but it makes deployment of an Invidious server more complicated and less anonymous.
