|
Click here to download latest IE version: 2.1.0
|
Note: Under Windows 8 you can only install BreakthePaywall for the desktop version of Internet Explorer - the separate Metro interface version of IE does not allow plugins to be installed. Similarly, because Windows RT only has Metro IE available you cannot use BreakthePaywall with Windows RT.
IE Install Instructions:
Please print these instructions as you will need to stop and restart Internet Explorer when installing.
1. Click on the download link above for the latest version.
2. Choose to Run.
At this point you may be asked to install a .NET Framework windows component if it is not already installed you will need to install this component. On windows 7 you will need to re-boot and restart the BTPW install. On Windows 8 you should not need to re-boot just restart the BTPW install after installing the component.
3. Program screening:
You get the following messages when installing because we do not code sign the programme with a digital certificate because digital certificates cost on average $500 and we cannot afford it. If we receive enough donations then we will consider adding this functionality.
Windows 8.0 (x86) and 8.1:
After selecting Run you get the message: "Windows Protected your PC. Windows SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised application from starting. Running this application might put your PC at risk."
If you are running as a limited user enter the Administrator account password and choose Run Anyway. Otherwise:
Select More Info
Select Run anyway
Select OK
You might be prompted to do this twice not sure why but just go through the same process if you get it again.
Windows Vista, 7 and 8.0 (x64):
After selecting Run you get the message: "Breakthepaywall is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer"
Select Actions

NEW FEATURES in 2.0.0:
There are now 2 ways to use BreakthePaywall:
1. The Original Right Click Method - right click on a link and select BreakthePaywall from the context menu. This method utilises all circumventing functions.
2. The new One-click method - simply left click links as you normally would. This method is enabled by default and only utilises the basic circumventing functions.
Method 2 will work in most cases but if not, use method 1 instead.
(Note: You must disable Internet Explorer's Enhanced Protected Mode for Method 1 to work. You will be prompted with instructions if this mode is enabled).
You can also toggle One-click method 2 on and off: use the new BreakthePaywall sub-menu under the Tools menu or the command button on the command toolbar.
We have also added Google search screening - Google does not link directly to search results, all links go via a special google link which then redirects to the website you want to go to. BreakthePaywall now intercepts this intermediary link and redirects you directly thus circumventing any restrictions. This occurs when using both methods.
