New Pirate Bay Proxies Spring Up

Posted by timothy on from the let-a-thousand-flowers-bloom dept.

Techmeology writes "Just days after the UK Pirate Party was forced to kill its proxy service Pirate Parties in Argentina and Luxembourg have created their own proxies. In a statement, the Pirate Party in Argentina said: 'We wish the UK Pirate Party best of luck in their continued fight for free access to culture and knowledge. We have put up our own Pirate Bay proxy which is accessible from anywhere in the world, including the UK and other places where it has been censored.'"

    Routing BitTorrent over Tor is bad idea and you should never ever do it. But guess what, if you do want to anonymize your BitTorrent traffic, there's a protocol for that: OneSwarm. It's not a perfect solution, but it does something similar to what you actually wanted when you thought you wanted to run BitTorrent over Tor.
