Hi @heimindanger, are these clones of your site still hosted by your domain, or are they totally seperate websites? The reason I'm asking is that d.tube is completely blocked in Australia, we can't access it at all. Our government has told all the ISP's in Australia to geoblock it, after the Christchurch massacre in NZ. Are you aware of this and is there any potential from your end to appeal this censorship?
Cheers,
John.
They are completely separate websites. :)
Btw, If you do only step 2 and step 4, you can get a fully working DTube clone (without scot). DTube is a static app and easy to host anywhere.
You can even download the https://github.com/dtube/production and just open the index.html from your pc... it should work. Maybe you'll need to click the logo to get the homepage to display but then everything should work.
hmmm, now you have me thinking. problem is I have absolutely zero technical skills. Might need to find a fellow aussie that could set up our own dtube for here. If a content creator posted on d.tube and tagged a seperate sight (hypothetically aus.tube), would the post appear on both? Sorry if its a dumb question, I am trying to get my head around stuff I have no skills in.
I just watched a dtube video from Australia. I can only assume I changed my DNS some time in the past to get around the blacklist.
I can watch videos from other front ends, but the d.tube site itself is blocked. Can't post or access there (unless you know how to use DNS, or VPN or some other voodoo technical magic I don't understand)

It's actually really simple to change your DNS. Just follow this - https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-change-dns-servers-in-windows-2626242
Use the DNS numbers used in there (8.8.8.8 etc) as they are the google dns servers that will bypass the national firewall.
If you don't want Google monitoring every DNS lookup you make, Quad9 offers an equivalent, free DNS server at 9.9.9.9 . 😉

@jk6276 I am in Australia and I can access D.tube just fine... What ISP are you with? I am with Telstra and can access every aspect of the site quite fine.
Telstra also. Weird, ill take another look when I'm back home.
