I already have the latest ‘bypass paywall’ clean installed , but I’m finding one of two things lately : either some previous bypassed sites are becoming subject to restrictions or some recently accessible sites are now restricted.
Case in point: Vox.
When I try to read any articles on the site now , I keep getting blocked by a popup that tells me to become a paid member.
The site use to take pride in being (mostly) free but now it appears to be (mostly) paid.
Is there anyway of getting around this?
thanks
archive.is
Just throw the website in there and you can read it free.
Nice!
Thanks.
But trying to access archive.is throws up its own roadblocks in the form of popups where you have to click the correct boxes of pictures just to proceed.
half the time they just give you the article, but half the time they do captcha.
if you complete the captcha, it always provide you with a full article, though.
How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.
They seem to block particular IP ranges for some reason. You can tell if you’re blocked because it just keeps showing the CAPTCHA over and over again.
My home ISP is blocked but my phone isn’t, so I can access it from my computer by tethering to my phone. It’s weird and I’m not sure how to contact them and ask about it.
I just click the bicycles or whatever and then it takes me to the article, it doesn’t loop on my android, Linhx, Windows devices using edge, firefox or chrome.
if you’re having that kind of trouble, i’m really not sure where it would be from.
I think you can just add archive.md or archive.ph etc before the URL of the article, e.g. archive.ph/https://vox.com/whatever to skip that. I’ve never had to do any captchas this way
