Hey all, I’m pretty new to S3, so I’m not entirely sure how to phrase this, but I’ll try my best. So, I just switched to using S3 for uploads and backups and I have been using [Discourse Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) in order to allow for logins on other parts of my site, but now profile images don’t work. I believe this has to do with CORS policies, but I’m not sure where I could configure it. I would ideally want to whitelist it for `forum.domain.tld` and `domain.tld` - or a wildcard on all subdomains would work too. Is this something I would set in Discourse, or where exactly? I’m using Vultr object storage if that makes a difference.
