In essence, it's a barrier that prevents free access to online content unless the user agrees to pay or subscribe. Paywalls are often used by news publishers and other online content producers as a way to generate revenue, protect their work, and encourage readers to subscribe. ## What Paywalls Are There? There are basically two types: Hard Paywall and Soft Paywall. **Hard Paywall:** In this model, access to content is completely blocked, and users can only read it after paying or subscribing. **Soft Paywall:** In this case, some content is accessible for free, while premium or more exclusive content is protected by a paywall. This allows you to attract a wider audience while also encouraging people to pay for higher-quality content. ## How to Bypass Paywalls? ### **1 - Using Sites like 12ft.io, Archive.is, or LeiaIsso.net** Copy the URL of the content behind a paywall and access sites like [12ft.io](https://12ft.io/?ref=lekler.com.br), [Archive.is](https://archive.is/?ref=lekler.com.br), or [LeiaIsso.net](https://leiaisso.net/?ref=lekler.com.br). Paste the URL into the appropriate field on these sites. ### **OR** ### **2 - Modifying the URL** Add "12ft.io/", "archive.is/", or "leiaisso.net/" before the address you want to bypass the paywall. ### **3 - Using the Burlesco Script in Tampermonkey** I use the [Burlesco](https://burles.co/?ref=lekler.com.br) script in Tampermonkey, which automatically handles the entire process when you access the site. It's very practical. ### **4 - Medium-Specific Methods** Medium has an annoying paywall. To bypass it, use Freedium. There's also [Medium Parser](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/medium-parser/?ref=lekler.com.br), a Chrome extension that bundles several alternatives (Google Cache, Read-Medium, Freedium, Archive.today, Archive.is, and Proxy API). It's very good! ### **5 - Using uBlock Origin + Bypass Paywalls Clean Filter** I've occasionally used the uBlock Origin + Bypass Paywalls Clean filter. In uBlock settings, go to Filter List -> Import -> Paste the filter URL. Filter URL: Bypass Paywalls Clean Filter ### **6 - "Can I Read?" Project** There's also the "[Can I Read?](https://possoler.tech/?ref=lekler.com.br)" project, but I've never tested it to see how it works. ### **7 - Manual Method in Firefox** If you want a more "roots" method: In Firefox, press F12, then F1 to access settings, select "Disable Javascript," and press F5 to reload the page. ### **8 - Using LeiaIsso.net** Another useful site is [LeiaIsso.net](https://leiaisso.net/?ref=lekler.com.br). Just copy and paste the article link into the site. ### **9 - Block Scripts in Brave** For those who use Brave, you can block scripts on the page in the ad-block shield and bypass the paywall. ### **Conclusion** These are some ways to bypass paywalls and access online content without paying. > However, remember that paying for quality content is a way to support creators and ensure they can continue producing valuable information. **Important (I'll say it again):** - **Respect the work of content creators:** consider financially supporting the websites and content producers you appreciate. - **Please use these tools responsibly:** bypassing paywalls may violate some sites' terms of use.
