LEGALLY read older news articles on the web for free. Have your paywalls spayed or neutered!Spaywall lets you LEGALLY avoid paywalls on older articles by redirecting you to an archived version of the page in the Internet Archives project (archive.org).

Because we are pointing you to a different website, we are not bypassing or messing at all with the original paywall on the article source. Spaywall is 100% FREE, and we do not collect any data whatsoever.

** NOTE **
- Because we retrieve an archived copy, an archived copy must exist. This means articles typically need to be older than a few weeks. It will often not work on current news stories!
- Our algorithm is usually able to detect an archived paywall and avoid that too, but please not this doesn't work 100% of the time

And please... if you frequent a certain news outlet, please consider supporting quality journalism!
