@AnachronistJohn@zia.io Much of federation relies on a consistent IP address. When the IP address is constantly cycling people struggle to 'find' the server if that makes sense? (based on my understanding :P, if someone has a better understanding definitely share!)
PeerTube isn't granular with this, and either *all* PeerTube traffic is proxied, or none.

@techlore@social.lol I suppose the part I don't get is why does this matter when it comes to uploading to YouTube? Federated servers should stay on the same IPs, of course, but if the servers need to do something that requires using residential IPs, use of those residential IPs shouldn't have anything to do with the servers' federation. I think I'm missing the connection / reason that PeerTube servers can't use residential IPs just for uploading to YouTube. Proxies I get, but perhaps I don't understand what proxies have to do with uploading to YouTube.
