suesy6652 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I am currently located in Jakarta, Indonesia. I have just purchased Affinity and was keen to get started, however when I try to view the tutorial videos, I get a message from my ISP stating that the website is blocked for security reasons. Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonatoF Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yes. The Affinity tutorials are hosted on Vimeo. Indonesian anti-pornography laws probably block Vimeo because some of the videos on there contain nudity (not the Affinity tutorials). You could explore using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to circumvent those restrictions, try using an alternate name server (like the free Google ones, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.8.4 ) or see if Serif can point you to an alternate location for the videos (the preferred solution). I have no idea if trying to circumvent the restrictions could get you into trouble since the Affinity tutorials themselves wouldn't be banned, but research that before doing anything.

chrisbst Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Have you tried going to this webpage site from Serif for the video tutorials as does not appear to be hosted on Vimeo although I could be wrong https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/photo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonatoF Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Unfortunately those videos are embedded from Vimeo also. I did find a Youtube channel from Affinity: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAYTwFk4xCES4-AaYus9yZA It only seems to contain some of the tutorials, but see if that works. If it does, try to get Serif to load the rest of the tutorials there. justwilliam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
