Thanks for the tips. I messed around with quite a few different countries and protocols. While I didn't try every last server, I did tinker with a number of different ones from different countries, using different protocol options.
The end result was that most of the 'local' options (East and Southeast Asia) for my main VPN provider (Proton) are running into the same problem.
When I started to go slightly further afield (Kazakhstan, Belgium, etc.), then I was able to access NewPipe, FreeTube, etc. again on both desktop and mobile. Naturally, things are significantly slower, but at least I can view content again.
Hopefully, this issue doesn't last forever, as I'd rather not have to wait for videos to load. However, in the short-term, I'm willing to pay that price for a bit more privacy.
