Paywall Shield

Share your hoo.be page with confidence.

Paywall Shield keeps sensitive destinations off your public page and gives every protected click a safer path out of Instagram and TikTok.

What it protects

The sensitive destination never appears on the public page.

Instagram and TikTok inspect the link in your bio. Without protection, a direct paywall URL can be visible when they check your page.

Paywall Shield automatically replaces every sensitive destination with a protected hoo.be route. The original URL is not written into the version of your page those platforms can inspect.

They see your hoo.be page. They do not get the paywall destination behind it.

Platform scan

The scanner finds a clean hoo.be page with no direct sensitive destination to follow.

Protected result

Automated scanners cannot open the protected redirect. Only a real visitor can continue.

What happens when you add a protected link

The protection is automatic. You add the link once, and Paywall Shield handles the rest.

01

Add your paywall link

Add the destination to your hoo.be page like any other link.

02

We replace the destination

Paywall Shield swaps the sensitive URL for a protected hoo.be link.

03

Social platforms see hoo.be

When Instagram or TikTok checks your page, there is no direct paywall URL for it to find.

04

Fans tap through safely

Real visitors confirm the link, leave the in-app browser, and continue to the destination.

What your visitors see

A clear handoff out of the in-app browser.

When someone taps a protected link inside Instagram or TikTok, Paywall Shield does not open the sensitive destination there.

Instead, the visitor sees a content warning and simple instructions: tap the three dots, then open the link in an external browser.

The destination is revealed only after a real person chooses to continue outside the social app.

Your fans still reach the link they chose.
