The Hydra Bay : “How to set up a Pirate Bay proxy”. Step-by-step instructions for MacOS and Linux on how to run a fully-functional reverse proxy for The Pirate Bay — in other words, provide a duplicate URL for users to circumvent ISP blocks of TPB. http://about.piratereverse.info/proxy/list.html contains about a hundred others. See also http://unblockedpiratebay.com/ for a standalone PHP script which does the same (albeit a little less efficiently). A good demonstration of how futile filtering techniques like IP or domain name blocks are, when applied to a popular website like TPB.
