Pirate Proxy List 2024: Unblock The Pirate Bay

Proxy sites are the easiest methods to bypass the block. Pirate Proxy List maintains a list of proxy sites that allow access to The Pirate Bay. Since 2011 ISPs in the UK, Netherland, Belgium and now France have been blocking many file sharing websites including The PirateBay. However their efforts seem to be counterproductive as Torrenting and other file sharing traffic is not decreasing. This is due to the help of information websites such as Torrent Proxy Portals that provide an up to date proxy list for ThePirateBay (TPB), and further information on how to avoid censorship using alternate methods. We periodically check our Pirate Bay proxy list against several major ISPs around Europe to make sure they have not been blocked.

Countries blocking access to The Pirate Bay

The Pirate Bay has been banned on various internet service providers (ISPs) around the world. These countries include:

1. Argentina

The Argentine National Communications Commission (CNC) ordered the blocking of The Pirate Bay's domains on June 30, 2014. This was due to a lawsuit between The Pirate Bay and the Argentine Chamber of Recording Industries (CAPIF). The CNC used this order to force ISPs to block The Pirate Bay's IP range and 12 specific domains.

2. Australia

In September 2014, discussions were held about whether ISPs in Australia should be required to block popular torrent sites like The Pirate Bay.On December 15, 2016, the Australian Federal Court ruled in favor of banning access to The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, SolarMovie, and the now-defunct torrent sites Torrentz and TorrentHound.

The ruling forced internet service providers (ISPs) to implement these bans before January 5th. Judge Nicholas stated that he was pleased with the decision, saying that it was evident that the owners of these websites had openly and deliberately infringed on copyright. Despite some success in blocking access through ISPs, VPNs and DNS changes can still allow users to access these sites.

3. Austria

In Austria, starting from May 30th, 2016, ISPs are allowed to unblock previously blocked websites. However, starting in 2018, they will have to re-implement these blocks.

4. Belgium

Belgium has not yet announced any specific plans regarding the future of these website bans.After the founders of The Pirate Bay lost their case in 2009, the Belgian Anti-Piracy Foundation (BAF) tried to get two ISPs, Belgacom and Telenet, to block access to the site for their customers. After years of negotiation, legal action was taken. In July 2010, the Antwerp Commercial Court ruled that neither ISP should block The Pirate Bay, calling the idea of blocking wholesale locations "disproportionate."

The ISPs said they were not in a position to decide which websites their customers could or could not access. BAF accused the ISPs of providing a "safe haven" for The Pirate Bay and appealed the decision.In October 2011, the Court of Appeal in Antwerp overturned the decision of the Commercial Court and ordered Belgacom and Telenet to block 11 domains associated with The Pirate Bay within 14 days, or face fines. A representative from Pirate Bay commented that this move would have the opposite effect, as there are numerous options available, and that it would only bring more traffic.

The court order specified which domain names were to be blocked, including the "www" version of each URL. ISPs also blocked these domains in an attempt to enforce the "spirit of the law", even though the court order did not specifically mention this. NURPA, a non-profit organization that advocates for digital rights, privacy, and freedom of expression in Belgium, condemned this decision, calling it a dangerous precedent that could lead to internet censorship in Belgium.It is inconsistent with the doctrine of proportionality as defended by the European Court of Human Rights.

On October 5th, 2011, the Pirate Bay registered two domain names: depiraatbaai.be and baiedespirates.be, so that Belgian users could access the website without using alternative DNS providers. However, on April 18th, 2012, TorrentFreak reported that these two domain names had also been banned.

5. China

In China, the site was briefly blocked and then unblocked again in November 2008, along with other BitTorrent sites. As of January 2017, it is no longer accessible from mainland China.

6. Denmark

In response, Pirate Bay created an alternative website with instructions on how to circumvent the block. The IFPI, an industry association representing the interests of music and film producers, welcomed the court's decision and encouraged other ISPs to take similar measures.

On November 26, 2008, the Eastern High Court upheld the verdict. Following this decision, TDC, another major ISP in Denmark, also blocked access to Pirate Bay in order to prevent further copyright infringement.Other Danish ISPs have stated that they would rather not disrupt their customers' communication, but they reluctantly implemented the lock to avoid fines. Tele2's owner, Telenor, appealed the Supreme Court's decision to the Danish Supreme Court in April 2009, which accepted the case. In May 2010, the court rejected the appeal and ordered Tele2 to continue the lock.On October 26, 2011, the Helsinki District Court ordered Elisa Oyj, one of Finland's leading internet service providers, to stop providing copyrighted materials from the Pirate Bay website by November 18, 2011. If the company failed to comply, it could face a fine of up to 100,000 euros.

In response to the ruling, Elisa activated a ban on thepiratebay.org based on its IP and DNS addresses. The company has since filed a complaint with the court about the decision.

7. Finland

Additionally, DNA and Telia, formerly known as Sonera, have also blocked access to the site following a similar ruling by the Helsinki court in 2012. These three companies - Elisa, Telia, and DNA - together control more than 80% of the market for internet service providers in Finland.

8. France

On December 4, 2014, France's High Court ordered major internet service providers to block access to The Pirate Bay for two weeks.

9. Germany

On May 13, 2010, the Hamburg District Court issued an injunction against CB3Rob Ltd & Co KG (Cyberbunker) and its operator, Sven Olaf Kamphuis, to prevent the Pirate Bay website from connecting to the internet. The motion picture association member companies requested this precautionary measure.

10. Greece

In Greece, Tellas / WIND Hellas Internet service providers blocked the site from February 15, 2010 until the end of March 2010 due to the blocking in Italy, as traffic was apparently routed through Wind Italy's servers. Since November 9, 2018, all Greek internet providers are legally required to block access to Pirate Bay for at least three years.On May 4th, 2012, several file sharing and video streaming websites, including Pirate Bay, were blocked in India by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), without any prior warning or explanation. The ban was imposed due to a court order issued by the Madras High Court, which was adopted by a Chennai-based copyright lab. Various internet service providers (ISPs), such as Airtel, Reliance Communications, Tikona Digital Networks, Aircel, MTNL, BSNL, and Vodafone, enforced the ban, while some ISPs, like You Broadband, Nextra Broadband, and Hathway, did not.

11. India

On May 19th, 2012, visitors to the websites continued to see an error message stating that the website had been blocked "until further notice, either under court orders or as directed by the Ministry of Telecommunications". In May of 2012, an anonymous group hacked into the Reliance Communications server in protest, demonstrating the security weaknesses used to implement the ban.On June 22nd, 2012, the Madras High Court lifted a block on certain websites, clarifying that only specific web addresses containing illegal copies should be blocked, rather than entire websites. This decision restored access to video and file-sharing sites in India, including The Pirate Bay.

However, in July 2014, the site was blocked again due to violations of guidelines regarding FIFA broadcasting activities in certain countries. Visitors are now greeted with the message "This website has been blocked by the instructions of a competent authority." Several ISPs, such as BSNL, Airtel, and Vodafone India, continue to block the site, even though they no longer display personalized messages to users visiting the Pirate Bay. However, most other ISPs continue to allow access to the site.

12. Indonesia

The Pirate Bay has been blocked by several Internet service providers in Indonesia, including Telkom Indonesia and possibly other ISPs. These providers redirect users who try to access the website without a proxy to a different website managed by Kemkominfo, the Indonesian Ministry of Telecommunications and Information. The website claims that the Pirate Bay is blocked because of its content, which includes pornographic materials and other harmful content.

13. Ireland

In January 2009, the Irish ISP Eircom was brought to court by four major music record labels - EMI, Sony, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music - for monitoring
