Ahoy! I want to know if I can access WLP and specifically its Stories Online with Start Page or the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. WLP is blocked for me when I try to access it with a free Wi-FI that has terms & conditions. If I use Start Page or the Wayback Machine, does that affect WLP and Stories Online in any way?
WLPC has a specific subscription too handle this problem. Check it out at the subscription page.
here's the link to the correct page
Link It's a feature you can use for those that have issues with access as it stands
ETA reword post to make sense with the one 20secs before me
If the above do not work for you for some reason, a VPN may resolve the problem and would prevent the WiFi owner from snooping on you in any way (beyond knowing you connected to the VPN site).
NOTE: A VPN would not protect you from any on-device snooping done by Apple/Google/phone vendor, and VPN software might not prevent them from bypassing it (see recent reports about 'leaks' with VPNs on iPhones).
Archive only has incomplete access to SOL (same as no login user). So that will not work.
Unless there is a deep packet inspection and Certificate substitution as it is done by some old Fortinet Firewall products on that WiFi.
Using DNS over HTTPS would bypass most filters.
Configuration instructions for the browser:

on Android you could add the app Intra or upgrade to Android 13 (and configure it).
The advantage of DoH over vpn is that it's free and doesn't slow down the navigation. The inconvenient is that your privacy is not total. The list of ips you reached can still be tracked by the wifi operator.
All right. Thanks for those informative replies. Those things to access Stories Online are too involved or too complicated for me excepting for maybe one or two. What surprises me is that Stories Online does not have raw or strong pornographic photos. Actually, there are no photographs that go with the stories, so it should not be blocked. Text characters without images are supposed to be boring to youngsters. There was a site called FemDom Library back in 2017 that I liked for its text characters stories, but not its hard-core photos. When that site got blocked, that was under-standable. WLP with its new sections that are not erotic and even with its erotic Stories Online, should not be blocked.

That's not totally true, Mat Twassel illustrations for example are nsfw.

Those are artwork, not photographs.

And there's a reason why.
Illustrations are handled at the discretion of the moderator. They can be rejected for any or no reason.
You must have explicit permission to use the artwork.
(You assume the responsibility of using the pictures)
Pictures will be optimized for size (to fit) and for bandwidth.
If the pictures don't add any value to the story, they will probably be discarded.
Real life photographs must not contain recognizable faces if the people are fully or partially nude.
Stories with characters under 18 cannot have photos/illustrations of said characters.
Real life photographs must not contain recognizable faces if the people are fully or partially nude.
Even aside from site rules:
Under US law, for "fully or partially nude" even if faces aren't shown, you would have to have model releases and documentation of the model's age. Other countries likely have similar legal requirements.
Then you get into copyright licensing issues if it isn't a photograph that the author took themselves.
There's some really good 3D modeling software applications out there that do human figures, so photographs wouldn't be worth the trouble.
Real life photographs must not contain recognizable faces if the people are fully or partially nude.
I'm working with an AI that draws what you request, it doesn't to nudity of any sort. I think bikini is the raciest it gets with this one by the TOS.
Anyway I'm experimenting to make portraits of my main characters when I find results that match what they look like in my head. It's a subscription service, you pay for server time linked to how many pictures you attempt to generate. Been getting some really good results so far but I've only made a handful of pics that I like out of 2 dozen or so runs.
I don't know how it works but it can make some amazing and unique art all using natural language prompts so you don't need to know any languages or code syntax to get something close to your description pretty quick. The rates are reasonable I guess, starting at $10US/Mo for 200 mins / Mo
Tongue in cheek here, but if someone wrote a beastiality story, with pictures, would the dog have to be over 18? Or do dog years work?
😁

Not quite true... but personally I'm glad the site is a stories site not an erotic pictures site. I'd be unworried
if stories here could not have pictures, as I've yet to find a readable story here that would be significantly harmed by removing the pictures... with the possible exception of sketch maps. Others may disagree with this blanket statement, but readability is subjective!
I just think it is easiest to keep the attitude and habit of good artistic drawings or no pictures at all to go with stories. I think artistic drawings that go with a story are legal if they don't show any hard-core body parts. It is always more interesting to have an illustration of some sort to go with an erotic story. When FemDom Library was still existing, I put all of the FemDom and Humiliation categories into Off-Line Browser. Then, I had dis-connected data to enjoy. I could press on any title of one story in the list and it would show up! I wonder if Off-Line Browser can work with this Stories Online. If it does, it does not matter what is being viewed if it is dis-connected data? I still would only have mild to moderate off-line stories anyway. I don't like any hard-core BDSM.

That gets into what countries laws you are talking about. Under US law, drawings would be legal no matter how "hard-core" the depictions of body parts.
The big legal issue with illustrations is copyright. If the author of the story isn't the owner of the copyright on the drawing, and doesn't have a license from the owner, that is a copyright violation.
That is an excellent informative reply by Dominions Son. The one about artistic drawings. I don't know how to quote.
Another thing to look at in case any of you don't know, is Fiction Mania. The pictures are sexy enough without being hard-core and the categories available are numerous. There is always an SWI or Story With Illustration available.
