 - Invidious will automatically reload the tokens from the config file every 1 minute

+**Notice to instance owners:**
+
+It appears the working solution currently is to use:
+- sig helper
+- po_token & visitor_data
+- a VPN proxy (privoxy, proton-privoxy, etc.)
+
+I personally use proton VPN, you can get it along with your email here: https://pr.tn/ref/04PN5S3WMGBG - if you want VPN only you can try to get it there or just go to protonvpn.com. You can get a working proton-privoxy from https://github.com/catspeed-cc/proton-privoxy . I use one invidious instance, one sig helper, and one proton-privoxy per core. Each connection to nginx is routed to the least connected backend (currently I have 4) . I hope this is helpful to instance owners having troubles.
