I am trying to get around the NYTimes paywall. I first tried the Inspector feature within Chrome, and I removed the pop-up. However, the text of the article was missing, and I couldn’t scroll. I tried adding URLs to my AdBlock extension, but I have the free version. Maybe adding URLs doesn’t work for the free version, because it didn’t take.

So, then I went VPN route. Installed it. Connected to server in Germany, then UK, and currently Indonesia, and each time I am still being blocked … more rather petitioned to signup and pay.

What the hell am I doing wrong? Why is the VPN not working?
