dunkaroo Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just notice the net traffic in the background that Affinity Designer is trying to connect to doubleclick and googlevideo also amazonaws. Doesn't make sense to me with photo editing software. Why does it do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted April 2, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 2, 2017 Welcome to the forum dunkaroo :) The Welcome Panel that opens when you start the app is showing a webpage from our server. This webpage used to include analytics code for DoubleClick/Google but it was removed about a month ago. The Amazonaws connection is the app calling for the latest whitelist of supported plugins - not sure why this would happen with designer though. What version of the app are you running? I will look into this further when I get back in the office as it shouldn't be happening. Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- S - Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 In a previous post it was mentioned that there was possibility going to be an option to disable this. Please can you concider this again because as it is there's no way to stop Affinity products from filling up firewall logs with blocked outbound connections.

Doesn't make sense to me with photo editing software. Why does it do this? Just to confirm, are you using Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo? Are you on Windows or macOS? Are you using the release or beta version of the app? Sorry for all the questions but I want to look into this further as it shouldn't be happening.

So are you saying this happens with Designer as well as with Photo?

marmite Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The Amazonaws connection is the app calling for the latest whitelist of supported plugins - not sure why this would happen with designer though. FYI I also get calls to amazonaws from AD 1.5.5 on OS X 10.12.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- S - Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 So are you saying this happens with Designer as well as with Photo? Yes, which means they both fill up firewall logs with blocked outbound connections, as there's no option to disable this in the software. Affinity Photo (1.5.1.54) tries to connect to: crashes.seriflabs.com s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com Affinity Designer (1.5.2.58) tries to connect to: go.seriflabs.com affinity.serif.com productio-webelast-18qf56z6auzuz-1088999861.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com I haven't however seen any connections to doubleclick and googlevideo, so maybe the OP is using an older version. I guess we'll find out more when he replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted April 7, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 7, 2017 FYI I also get calls to amazonaws from AD 1.5.5 on OS X 10.12.4. This is to be expected at the moment. I'm interested to know which build and OS the user is running and if it's still connecting to doubleclick. In a previous post it was mentioned that there was possibility going to be an option to disable this. Please can you concider this again because as it is there's no way to stop Affinity products from filling up firewall logs with blocked outbound connections. I'm not aware of any immediate changes but I will log it with our developers to see what's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
