An nginx config stanza that implements a fully working TPB proxy, as talked about here: https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-censorship-backfires-as-new-proxies-bloom-121222/. Also requires wildcard DNS for "*.subdomain.example.com" and for "subdomain.example.com" to point towards the server hosting this proxy. Have fun ...

server {
  listen [::]:80;
  listen 80;
  server_name "~^(?<thishost>[^.]+.)?(subdomain.example.com)$";
  access_log off;

  location / {
    resolver 8.8.8.8; # or whatever your server can use
    sub_filter_once off;
    sub_filter 'thepiratebay.se' 'subdomain.example.com';
    proxy_pass http://${thishost}thepiratebay.se;
    proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding ""; # otherwise content sub fails
    gzip off; # otherwise content sub fails
  }
