Kickass Torrents (KAT) was once the undisputed king of the torrenting world, surpassing even The Pirate Bay in popularity by 2014. Although the original site was seized by the U.S. government in 2016, its legacy lives on through a network of and mirror sites. What is a Kickass Torrent Proxy?

Proxies and mirrors rarely maintain a static domain. When a domain is seized or blocked by ISPs, operators quickly migrate to a new extension (e.g., moving from .to to .cd or .sx ). This forces copyright enforcers to restart the legal process of blocking the new domain.
Using a proxy does not necessarily hide the user's activity from their ISP or copyright trolls.
