The filter is Kill window.external methods, and the domain blocked is ytimg. I had to make an exception to filtering that domain with that filter.

I’ll attach a screen shot of my Kill window.external methods filter to this post, so that what I have can be seen. If you can provide the code to place in there, that would help.

that's why the most IMPORTANT aspect of Proxo is maintaining up-to-date configs...

updating the CONFIG is pretty much the same as "patching" your Operating System, imo...

Well, I’ve used Proxomitron since I don’t know when anymore. This problem with YouTube only cropped up recently, as Siamesecat also mentioned. I have never had an issue with not seeing videos at YouTube till this week. Proxomitron has always worked behind the scenes without issue. As far as updating config’s, I had no idea they were being kept up, and really have no idea where to look for the updates, or how to accomplish the updates, tho I could probably find them and figure it out, it would take me a while. I am just a simple end user who has used Proxomitron for years, but have never updated a config, and until I found this forum that someone in another forum pointed me to just this week, had no idea the program was being kept updated. Actually, I only found out about 4.5, and downloaded it back in March of this year thanks to someone in another forum. What you say makes total sense, but I come here as a total Dummy looking for help.
