  Fabulous naming choice.

  I am curious why these workarounds continue to work . If the content owners care so much about the paywall integrity they can verify if it is really google bot . Google provides a reverse dns lookup of the IP addresses of their bots[1] [1] https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/verifying-googlebot https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/...

  It can't be that easy, can it? Doesn't google bot have known ip ranges that publishers whitelist?

    It's not. In my experience they even completely block non-end-user IP ranges, and I'm not fond of being raided due to running this at home.

  wasi_master said this the last time this project was posted - "Hello everyone, it's the author here. I initially created 13ft as a proof of concept, simply to test whether the idea would work. I never anticipated it would gain this much traction or become as popular as it has. I'm thrilled that so many of you have found it useful, and I'm truly grateful for all the support. Regarding the limitations of this approach, I'm fully aware that it isn't perfect, and it was never intended to be. It was just a quick experiment to see if the concept was feasible—and it seems that, at least sometimes, it is. Thank you all for the continued support." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41294067 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41294067 Probably don't spend too much time getting this running, folks.
