You are not alone; the ThePirateBay.org (TPB) domain is offline worldwide. The reason for this outage is unclear, but the good news is that you can still access the site on the dark web through Tor browser, thanks to ThePirateBay’s .onion link.

Currently, visitors can see a CloudFlare warning message on TPB domain revealing that the site is offline but since the site uses CloudFlare’s Always Online™ technology they can continue to surf a snapshot of the site.

Those who want to visit ThePirateBay on the dark web they need to download Tor browser since its traffic goes through a separate server and hardly ever down. Here’s the Tor link for TPB: http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/.

Remember, this is not the first time when ThePirateBay has suffered an outage. In fact, the platform has a history of trouble staying online and with law enforcement authorities. Last year, ThePirateBay was forced to give up their .SE domain name after a Swedish Court ruled that the two domain servers, ThePirateBay.se and P irateBay.se will be taken from the company and since then ThePirateBay.se has been working as ThePirateBay.org.

The Pirate Bay is now back online and available for users worldwide, however, it is still clear why the site was down for almost 16 hours.
