  Am I missing something here? I don&#x27;t know how toll booths work anywhere else but here you have to pay and you can&#x27;t drive through or if you do, you&#x27;ll be prosecuted. How is that part reflect in the tool?<p>There are also not a lot of information or am I missing the &quot;docs&quot; section?

    There is no prosecution. AFAIU, you’re simply denied access without payment. HTTP code 402 is „payment required“. You‘re basically buying an access token for one hour.

      How is it enforced on the server side? I see no documentation regarding that. The only thing that is written down is that you get a superficial token and use that service as a front for accessing a public website. Again, am I missing something?

  I don&#x27;t understand what&#x27;s the point of this ? Seems like a project whose whole reason to exist is to name it, rather than an actual problem in need of a solution
