I was able to repro this issue on one of our DigitalOcean hosted instance.

Ran this in rails console:

```plaintext
[1] pry(main)> FinalDestination.new("https://vimeo.com/358017730", verbose: true).resolve
=> nil

```

… and in the `/logs` saw this warning message:

```plaintext
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.
