OneBox – problems with Vimeo and Streamable embeds

Vimeo embeds aren’t working at all.

Vimeo Embed not working on my site due to Vimeo server IP blacklisting

I was able to repro this issue on one of our DigitalOcean hosted instance. Ran this in rails console: [1] pry(main)> FinalDestination.new("https://vimeo.com/358017730", verbose: true).resolve => nil … and in the /logs saw this warning message: FinalDestination could not resolve URL (status 403): https://vimeo.com/358017730 It seems like Vimeo is blocking a subset of DigitalOcean IPs and is returning 403 error. I am not sure how to handle this case.

I recommend reading that topic till the end.
