by Jian Wong

With the rise of the Internet, more and more news publishers are moving their content to the web. Oftentimes a friend might send us a link to one of these articles(Wall Street Journal, Financial Times etc) but sometime we might not have the newspaper subscription to read it and will be slammed a paywall and would not be able to enjoy this content (either that or you might get like 5 articles free a month and that’s it).

How should we approach this problem to solve it?

In this short tutorial, I will show you step-by-step a tried and true method to bypass website paywalls. This method is free and legal as we will be using a technological technique to bypass the paywalls. I will include a short explanation on how this technique works for those interested.
