Vox
www.vox.com
Vox is a general interest news site for the 21st century. Its mission: to help everyone understand our complicated world, so that we can all help shape it. In text, video and audio, our reporters explain politics, policy, world affairs, technology, culture, science, the climate crisis, money, health and everything else that matters. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of income or status, can access accurate information that empowers them.

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

    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.
