Resilient is a fitting term to describe the torrent site The Pirate Bay. After surviving the Swedish Police onslaught late last year, the popular peer-to-peer site rose from the shambles in under two months and is now back with a vengeance.
TPB’s revenge comes in the form of switching to CloudFlare SSL service which in turn allows the site to overcome the block that internet service providers, particularly in UK as per the ruling of the country’s High Court, put up which prevents their respective subscribers from accessing the site.
Other than that, CloudFlare also provides Full SSL (HTTPS-Strict) encryption and secure connection for TPB’s patrons which protects them from DDoS attacks and other similar threats.
According to TorrentFreak’s report, it’s been said that BT, EE, TalkTalk and Virgin subscribers are now able to access the site without having to use a proxy browser or other means to get around the ISP block. In the local scene, we were able to access Pirate Bay’s site without any hiccups using both Smart and Globe SIM cards.
