12ft
12ft is a website that allows online paywalls to be bypassed. It was created by Thomas Miller.[1][2] The name is based on the phrase "Show me a 10 foot wall and I’ll show you a 12 foot ladder". It bypasses paywalls by pretending to be a search engine crawler when requesting a webpage. Websites with paywalls often allow access to search engine crawlers to ensure their pages appear in search engines.[3]
