MT Intelligence
The domain was registered in 2010, making it an exceptionally mature site in the adult industry. Our antivirus network shows zero detections across nearly 100 security engines, and major browser blocklists do not flag the domain. While the hosting IP has some historical abuse reports, this is common for large-scale adult infrastructure and is outweighed by the site's long-term reputation. Independent review aggregators and community discussions on platforms like Reddit treat the site as a legitimate 'gateway' for adult content. The site's primary function is a link directory, and we found no evidence of credential harvesting or malware distribution.

Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on thepornguy.com and not a lookalike like t-hepornguy.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on thepornguy.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- thepornguy.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 80/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. thepornguy.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc. · Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2, expiring in 54 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- thepornguy.com is 15.6 years old, registered on 11/26/2010 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. thepornguy.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- thepornguy.com resolves to an IP operated by Amazon Technologies Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 30, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around thepornguy.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
