Investigation Brief
The site offers free streaming of copyrighted films under the Layarkaca21 brand. It is currently returning a proxy error and carries a single historical antivirus flag, but no active commercial traps or credential-harvesting mechanisms were observed.
Government blocking and copyright violations
Two research records confirm that lk21.tv (Layarkaca21) has been blocked under Indonesia’s Internet Positif program specifically for copyright infringement.
The domain itself is over 1,800 days old, indicating a long-standing operation rather than a newly created scam site.
Current availability and security signals
A live screenshot shows the message “proxy upstream failed,” suggesting the site is presently unreachable or its backend infrastructure is down.
One antivirus engine (CRDF) historically flagged the domain, while the browser threat feed and the TLS certificate check returned clean results.
Why the score is 35
Repeated government blocks for copyright infringement. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
