I’m trying to cross reference another post while replying to a post, it only posts the link and doesn’t create a OneBox embedded post. Is there any setting to enable this feature? I just see it a circle briefly as I post the thread link on the same forum and then it just stays as a link.

@eviltrout can explain Monday why this is a security risk and is locked down out of the box.

Okay thanks, looking forward to the patch to enable this for private IP’s. Is there a YAML setting or something I can use meanwhile.

I can explain right now. I’ve got a webserver right now running with two interfaces. One of those has port 80 and port 443 open to the outside world, and everything else locked down. The other interface is on a 10.x.y.z internal network. DNS resolution happens through here, and routing defaults to…
