[b]"Is the pirate mirror still the best way to access blocked sites?"[/b] or [b]"How reliable is the pirate mirror

Yeah, same here! The pirate mirror has been super unreliable lately.

I switched to using Tor with a few different .onion links, and it’s been way more stable. Also, a good VPN (like Proton or Mullvad) helps if the main site’s getting blocked.

If you’re looking for alternatives, check out some of the forums on Reddit—they usually have updated mirrors listed.
