Featured Tip:
Blocking Incognito Browsing
You can actually create more paid subscription opportunities by blocking incognito browsing.
Using IP Blocker stops people from circumventing your paywall, no matter which browser or mode they switch to. It feeds people back into Leaky Paywall’s subscription system, ultimately creating more subscribers.
Looking for other ways to stop people from sneaking around your paywall? We’ve got more tips!

You can use filters to display any number of useful facts about the user on their Leaky Paywall profile page, including their subscription start and end dates, their comment count, or more custom fields. Get the instructions.
