Does anybody else get this message when trying to access articles?

I've updated bypass paywall and it's made no difference. I've also disabled my vpn and emptied my cache to little avail.

How do we get around this new problem please?

thanks

I wouldn't be willing to disable my vpn for the nyt so thanks for confirming that it wouldn't have made a difference. It appears that they now block everyone who doesn't let javascript freely do whatever it wants to fingerprint you or whatever. I'll not miss them too much.

    most sites, including social media will block vpn, because the most common one are abused asf on social media sites, like reddit. its not hard to figure out which vpn. i think thats why ban evaders use mobile rotating proxies instead, not cheap if you run hordes of accounts. on anyone social media platform, or site.

    I thought bypass paywall was dead?

    Got the same message since last Wednesday I think, not by trying to access articles, just playing their daily gameson mobile (Firefox)

    I got this just the other day. Turned off the paywall blocker I forgot I installed and it loaded fine after.

    Did you find an update? BPC is still not working for me on The NY Times.

  • I use FOSS browser and have antifingerprinting enabled. I get this constantly. I think it also might have something to do with blocking the tracking parts of the url directs.

    For your web browser, Add this to your uBlock Origin block list:

    lemmy.dbzer0.com##.title:has-text(/nytimes.com/)

    You can add additional sites, separated by pipes like this::

    lemmy.dbzer0.com##.title:has-text(/nytimes.com|theverge.com|404media.co/)

    (Change the leading url to that of your own instance)

    This will turn this:

    into this:

    So you don't accidentally get interested in a bullshit paywalled article.

  • I've been thinking about subscribing to a news site. Similar to email, I would rather pay than see the propaganda. 404 was one I was considering. I have several Ghost publications I'm watching to figure out which one I want.

    The Ublock codes will be useful, though. Thanks for sharing!
