I get it, I’ve been there you’re outside the UK one day and go to open RARBG and BLAMMO! glBegin access denied. Your ISP blocked it. At first, I figured that must be it, I’d have to abandon the hunt for those hard-to-find files. And then I discovered proxy sites and mirror links. Here’s what I discovered about returning to it.

What Happened to RARBG?
So the thing is: RARBG’s numbers actually went down on May 31, 2023. The team said it was shutting down shop in part because of rising expenses, health issues and legal pressure. It was significant because RARBG was not just any old torrent site. It offered quality control, trusted uploads and a huge database that people believed in.
But here is the interesting part. Although the primary site is defunct, a mirror of the database still exists on sites maintained by volunteers and is one site recommended by enthusiasts. These people have archived everything prior to the shutdown so you’re not losing access to seeing any of those torrents — you just have to know where to look.
The Real Workings of These Proxy and Mirror Sites
The first time I heard “proxies” and “mirrors,” to be completely honest, they both sounded like the same thing to me. They’re not.
A mirror site is essentially a copy of the original RARBG: same design, same database, different domain. It’s as if someone has copied the site in its entirety and put it somewhere else.
A proxy site is a kind of buffer between your computer and the site you are visiting, in this case Spotify, moving all over the past to access open or blocked content. It cloaks your connection so that your ISP can’t tell you’re trying to access a blocked site.
When you use an “RARBG unblock” link, you’re really just connecting to a web proxy, which is one of RARBG’s mirror sites. It’s just easier to find your proxies first and let them lead you where you want to go.
How to Access RARBG Proxies: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s how I do it. It’s simple, but you’ll want to know these steps for the sake of safety.
Step 1: Get yourself a VPN (If you don’t already have one, seriously, they’re not expensive and it’s worth the peace of mind)
I learned this the hard way. A VPN will encrypt your connection and hide your IP address so you can browse torrent sites anonymously. Without one, your ISP can know what you’re doing, even if you’re using a proxy.
I’m using NordVPN, but thanks to that reporter at the game I know that ExpressVPN and Surfshark also offer good experiences. Just set it up, connect to a server (choose one that permits torrents), and let the action begin.
Step 2: Choosing a working proxy from the list below
Not all proxies stay online. Some get knocked out, others go slow. I have a couple bookmarked so that, should one fail, I have other options.
Step 3: Access the proxy link through you web-browser.
Simply Copy the URL in your browser while your VPN is working. Once the proxy has loaded up, it will appear almost identical to the original RARBG site.
Step 4: Search and download as normal And that’s all there is to it!
Once you’re in, it functions just as RARBG did. Search for what you’re looking for, click on the magnet link (or download the.torrent file) and open it with your torrent client (I use qBittorrent).
Step 5: Stay cautious
Avoid clicking the ad or pop-up. Use an ad blocker if you can. And never input personal information or login details on these sites genuine RARBG mirrors don’t ask for that kind of stuff.
List of Working RARBG Mirror Sites for 2025
Join in and enjoy working active proxy and mirror sites: Here’s my list of updated (AND a few that certainly still work) proxy and mirror sites. I check them periodically because some come and go without warning.
| Mirror/Proxy Site | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| rarbggo.to | Active | Listed as one of the safe mirrors fast and reliable |
| rarbgproxy.to | Active | Praised for closely mimicking the original site |
| proxyrarbg.to | Active | Safe mirror with clean interface |
| rarbgmirror.com | Active | Designed to give you the same content and features as the original |
| rarbgget.org | Active | Fast and updated regularly with latest content |
Pro tip: Save a couple of these in your bookmarks. If one goes down or gets blocked in your area, you’ll have others to turn to.
Other Cool Torrent Sites You May Want to Visit
Sometimes not even the proxies have what I want. When that’s the case, I turn to these options:
1337x — Very popular site with large community and a lot of torrents in movies, TV shows, music and games. The interface is neat and easy to understand.
YTS — Focuses on HD movies, at small file sizes making it a good choice for lower bandwidth users. This is the one if you’re only interested in movies.
The Pirate Bay — The most adventurous & easiest torrent website. It has been around forever and has some two million torrents. Utilize proxy sites in case the primary site is blocked.
LimeTorrents — Like for older or more obscure titles. It has a very large index, and it has one of the best reputations as well.
Three things to know (FAQs)
Q: Are RARBG proxies safe to use without a VPN?
Well, in a technical sense you can, but it’s not very bright. Before you even load the proxy, your ISP can see that you’re downloading torrents and inspect your traffic. A VPN preserves your privacy by ensuring that no one is tracking what you’re doing. And if a proxy is blocked in your geographic area, you can bypass that entirely with a VPN.
Q: Best RARBG proxy?
No one answer is “officially” the best, but user feedback indicates rarbgo. to is the most stable and regularly updated. Having said that, I do circulate through a couple of them. If one’s slow or down I sort to another from my list. They draw from the same database anyway.
Q: Are these mirror sites secure?
The sites offering the x-rated material will not host malware, however uploading the torrents is done by users themselves demand caution. Stick with torrents with positive comments and high ratings. Leverage an ad blocker to avoid sketchy pop-ups, and upon downloading anything, run antivirus scans. The mirror sites are mostly safe if you’re careful about what you click.
That’s it. Good VPN, a couple of working proxies bookmarked, and you’re open for business. Just be safe for God’s sake, use a little common sense and you’re good to go.
