The Pirate Bay has become unreachable since this morning.
It’s currently not clear what’s causing the problems. There was a similar outage yesterday which lasted a few hours.
What we do know is that the site’s domain names are not the culprit.
The Pirate Bay currently displays a CloudFlare error message across all domain names, suggesting that TPB’s servers are unresponsive.
With the raid of last year still fresh in memory some fear the worst, but these concerns are unwarranted for now.
In fact, the site is still accessible via the Tor network (through http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/), including the popular Pirate Browser.
The Tor traffic goes through a separate server and works just fine.
TorrentFreak reached out to The Pirate Bay team for a comment on the situation and we will update this article if we hear back.
Update: The TPB team informed us that they’re aware of the problem and hope to have the site back online soon. It’s nothing major and people should just relax and wait it out.
