Make a way to only allow embedded Vimeo

Sean Ardizzone

the Vimeo site is filled with porn. Can there be a way to block the main page while allowing only embedded Vimeo vid's so legitimate videos are accessible?

Hi Sean Ardizzone. Thanks for the feedback. This is a great idea and actually already possible due to how Vimeo manages their embeds. Embeds on Vimeo use a sub domain player.vimeo.com
.
To achieve your goal add vimeo.com
 to the policy's block list and player.vimeo.com
 to the allow list.
Our UI will suggest adding a CNAME on the allow list player.vimeo.com.cdn.cloudflare.net
 which you should accept.
Unfortunately, Youtube embeds use the same root url so its not possible on that platform.

Mikey @DNSFilter: Hi Mikey , Thanks for this info! it works well when adding it via adding it to the policy directly! but i did notice that this wont work using the domain report tool since if vimeo.com is in the block list it wont allow to add player.vimeo.com since it will say that the domain is already added this issue happens whenever the same url is within the block list but i would expect that since player.vimeo.com is different then vimeo.com then it should at least allow it to be added
