I'm using a VPN, maybe that's why. It's annoying as not only you need to fill the captcha, but it takes 30s to 1 minute for the video to load.

- nickjj 6y agoAh, using a VPN seems like it would likely be the culprit for 30+ second load times. What happens if you don't use that VPN?
- celsoazevedo 6y agoIt works without the VPN, but I need the VPN more than I need Vimeo, so I just avoid anything that uses their service to host videos. They seem to be very aggressive blocking IPs. For example, I have VPS on Digital Ocean which I use for small projects and also as a VPN server. The IP has been "mine" for almost a year, I don't use it to scrap sites or abuse any service... but I still get the damn captcha on their videos.
- edgartaor 6y agoThat's why. Many providers can detect a VPN hosted on DigitalOcean and trigger security measures or captchas. I'm testing a commercial vpn (Mullvad) this month and it's working fine.
