We do not provide any illegal service. nopaywall.fun merely links to publicly accessible web archives. The responsibility for using these external services lies with the user. Please check the terms of service of both the original website and the archive service, as well as your local laws.

A paywall is a digital barrier that restricts access to content, requiring users to pay (via subscription or one-time payment) to view articles. There are different types: hard paywalls block all content, metered paywalls allow a limited number of free articles, and freemium models offer some content for free while premium content is paid.

We do not store or reproduce any article content. We only temporarily cache metadata (title, description, preview image) to show you a preview. The actual article content only exists on the external archive platforms, not on our servers.

Potentially, yes. Many websites prohibit circumventing access restrictions in their terms of service. While accessing publicly archived content is generally legal, violating a website's terms of service could have civil consequences. We recommend reviewing the terms of the websites you wish to access.

We link to well-known, publicly accessible web archives such as Archive.org (Wayback Machine), Archive.today, and similar services. These archives independently crawl and store web pages for preservation purposes.
