Do you folks have any tips on how to get around magazine and newspaper paywalls? It seems like the old tricks are becoming less reliable and it's frustrating - especially given paywalls seem to be becoming more stringent at the same time.

I tried it on two sites - New York Times and Financial Times. NYT gives the error message "12ft has been disabled for this site" and FT doesn't remove the paywall. Nice idea, shame about the execution. :)

I had the same issue with NYT, but I managed to get in using archive.is! :)
