debian 13.1, yt-dlp 2025.10.14

I’m wondering is this a regular occurrence meaning google changed something in the code again which renders this application useless and I just have to wait till the yt-dlp developers release an update and it works again or if it’s something more serious.

error reads: ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

I also changed the MAC and username to get the same error message. Now I’m thinking about proxifying my computer, so each time I use yt-dlp it runs through tor, but I have no idea how to do it.

help appreciated.
