What is this? This is a simple self hosted server that has a simple but powerful interface to block ads, paywalls, and other nonsense. Specially for sites like medium, new york times which have paid articles that you normally cannot read. Now I do want you to support the creators you benefit from but if you just wanna see one single article and move on with your day then this might be helpful How does it work? It pretends to be GoogleBot (Google's web crawler) and gets the same content that google will get. Google gets the whole page so that the content of the article can be indexed properly and this takes advantage of that. The server now displays a loading/status page while it fetches the target article and will automatically try multiple bypass methods (multi-source fallbacks) if the primary approach fails. This improves compatibility with sites that employ stronger paywalls or blocking behaviour. Feature courtesy of @JRS1986 How do I use it?
