Problems with streaming videos

I've recently experienced problems with streaming videos. Not all, but only some.

It turns out that Freedome somehow blocks as the problem does not exist when I turn Freedome off. Change of virtual location does not help.

Example:

Any idea why this is happening?

  Hi NatV,

   

  Could you try to turn off Tracking protection in Freedome and retry loading the page to play the video? I tried to disable the tracking protection and the video played for me. May be this article can provide more information to you regarding this issue.

  you're right. Turning off tracking protection makes it possible to stream the videos again. 

  It's not a real solution for me though as I don't want to miss that protection, but I also noticed that more and more websites use that tracking via player (and I guess it's the player that does it).

   

  I don't like it but what can be done?

  Good to know you are able to stream again, @NatV. True, the sites prevent their usage if their tracking is not enabled.
