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 here’s the thing: 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 mattered because RARBG wasn’t just any old torrent site. It offered quality control, trusted uploads, and a huge database people could rely on.
But here is the interesting part. Although the primary site is defunct, a mirror of the database still exists on volunteer-maintained sites, and enthusiasts recommend one. These people archived everything before the shutdown so that you won’t lose access to any of those torrents—you need 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 place 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 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 encrypts your connection and hides your IP address so that you can browse torrent sites anonymously. Without one, your ISP can know what you’re doing, even if you’re using a proxy.
I use NordVPN, but thanks to that reporter at the game, I know ExpressVPN and Surfshark also offer a good experience. 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 if one fails, I have other options.
Step 3: Access the proxy link through your web browser.
Copy the URL in your browser while your VPN is working. Once the proxy loads, it will look 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 works just like RARBG. 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. Never enter personal information or login details on these sites; genuine RARBG mirrors don’t ask for that kind of stuff.

Join in and enjoy these active proxy and mirror sites: Here’s my updated list (plus a few that still work). I check them periodically because some come and go without warning.

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 – A very popular site with a large community and lots of torrents for 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 users with lower bandwidth. This is the one if you’re only interested in movies.
The Pirate Bay – The most adventurous & easiest torrent website. It’s been around forever and has about two million torrents. Use proxy sites if the primary site is blocked.
LimeTorrents – Like for older or more obscure titles. It has a very large index and one of the best reputations.
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 safe. Before you even load the proxy, your ISP can see that you’re downloading torrents and inspect your traffic. A VPN protects your privacy by ensuring no one tracks what you’re doing. If a proxy is blocked in your geographic area, a VPN can bypass that entirely.
Q: Best RARBG proxy?
No one answer is “officially” the best, but user feedback indicates rarbgo is the most stable and regularly updated. That said, I cycle through a couple of them. If one’s slow or down, I sort of switch 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, users upload the torrents themselves, so use caution. Stick with torrents with positive comments and high ratings. Use an ad blocker to avoid sketchy pop-ups, and run antivirus scans on anything you download. 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.
