Investigation Brief

piratebayproxy.net is a directory of Pirate Bay mirror sites that help users bypass ISP blocks. The site itself does not host torrents or collect credentials. One stale antivirus engine flagged it as phishing; no fresh malicious consensus exists. Domain age exceeds six years and the hosting IP shows no abuse reports.

What the site appears to do

The captured page presents a search form and a list of Pirate Bay proxy mirrors. Navigation links lead to articles on torrent downloading, VPN usage, and proxy submission. The site states it does not host or distribute files and acts only as a technical intermediary.

Strongest evidence and limitations

Gridinsoft labelled the domain phishing and alphaMountain.ai marked it suspicious, yet both detections are over 325 hours old. Safe Browsing returned clean. The domain was registered in July 2020 and the origin IP carries zero abuse reports. No credential forms, download prompts, or wallet connections were observed.

Practical user impact

Visitors can browse listed proxies and read torrent-safety articles. Clicking external mirrors or ads may expose users to unvetted third-party sites. The page itself presents no deceptive download controls or forced redirects.

Why the score is 62

Saved antivirus evidence is adverse but is not fresh enough for a current conviction. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

06 · Your Next Move

Your next move

Proceed with caution

Our automated review flagged enough risk that you should treat this site as unverified.

  1. Analyst recommendation

    Treat the site as an unverified mirror directory. Verify any listed proxy before use and consider a reputable VPN if torrenting. No direct evidence of credential theft or malware delivery was found on this domain.

  2. Treat piratebayproxy.net as unverified

    Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.

  3. Verify the business through independent channels

    Check the company's social profiles, registry records, and search for recent news or reviews that are not hosted on the site itself.

  4. Never use irreversible payment methods

    Crypto, gift cards, wire transfers, and cash apps offer zero buyer protection. Use a credit card or PayPal if you must pay.

  5. Share your experience

    If you have additional context, drop a comment below or post on the MalwareTips forum.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to download software? Use a safe option instead

Downloading software? Get it from the maker's official site or an official app store — "cracked", "modded", or keygen downloads are one of the most reliable ways to install malware.

  1. The vendor's official website

    Search the product name + "official" and check the domain before downloading.

  2. Microsoft Store

    Vetted Windows apps.

  3. Ninite

    Bundles legitimate free apps from their real sources.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is piratebayproxy.net a scam or is it safe?
There isn't enough evidence yet for us to give piratebayproxy.net a confident verdict, so treat it with caution. The domain is 6 years old. Until it can be independently verified, don't enter passwords, card details, or send money, and confirm the company through channels you find yourself rather than links on the site.
Is piratebayproxy.net safe to use?
piratebayproxy.net has a Safety Score of 62/100 (Moderate Risk). Analysis coverage is strong at 75%. Do not trust blindly; analysis may be limited.
Has piratebayproxy.net been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 2 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged piratebayproxy.net, 1 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is piratebayproxy.net on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — piratebayproxy.net is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the piratebayproxy.net domain?
piratebayproxy.net is 6 years old, registered on July 30, 2020 through NameCheap, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Does piratebayproxy.net have a valid SSL certificate?
Yes — piratebayproxy.net presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 49 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
Where is piratebayproxy.net hosted?
piratebayproxy.net resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the piratebayproxy.net report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on August 3, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about piratebayproxy.net has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
