Why do you still support http://thepiratebay.org? Why not only https://thepiratebay.org?
Torrent sites are the last place you would want to use with http, please ensure your users' privacy.

Thanks for considering!
TPB uses https://, what are you sniffing?
I think OP ate too many marijuanas this morning.
Why are you so disrespectful?

Try to:
  1. Enter Firefox
  2. Delete TPB's cookies
  3. Enter thepiratebay.org (with neither www nor https!)
  4. You get the following attachment:
Because what you are suggesting is just not possible unless you have something special going on at your end or with your connection.

Code:
> curl -I http://thepiratebay.org

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2020 16:23:02 GMT
Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=3600
Expires: Sat, 21 Nov 2020 17:23:02 GMT
Location: https://thepiratebay.org/


What you see above is what happens if you try to load TPB using HTTP.  Your browser is immediately sent a redirect to the HTTPS version. No actual data is served.


I tried and I cannot reproduce whatever security error you are getting.  Click the arrow and see what details you can get.  Whatever the issue is, it'll very likely be something unique to your setup.
I realize it's supposed to go 301 but for some reason in my Firefox (specifically Firefox) it doesn't.
Can you check it from your (latest) Firefox?
I checked from another computer and setup (but same network) and got exactly the same result.

Attached is when I click the arrow.
I am using Firefox 83.

I loaded https://thepiratebay.org

Clicked the lock, made sure to clear cookies and site data, and checked that my page info is identical to yours. Closed the window, removed the s from https and it just redirected me back to https.

Simple check, but is your date and time correct?

If so, view the certificate and see if there is anything fishy there.
My date and time are correct.

The certificate was attached to the previous post, I don't seem to spot anything suspicious there.
You certificate image disagrees with you, since it states ;

Connection Encrypted (TLS 1.3)
The page you are viewing was encrypted before being transmitted over the internet.

JFYI, I use FF and its fine for me.

It disagrees with itself, not with me...

I don't know why it happens (see general ticket and Firefox ticket), but nonetheless you might want to fix the following redirects that take place:
  1. http://thepiratebay.org => https://thepiratebay.org
  2. https://thepiratebay.org => http://thepiratebay.org/index.html
  3. http://thepiratebay.org/index.html => https://thepiratebay.org/index.html

If the original is www, it also first does adds an initial step:
  1. http://www.thepiratebay.org => https://www.thepiratebay.org
  2. https://www.thepiratebay.org => https://thepiratebay.org
  3. https://thepiratebay.org => http://thepiratebay.org/index.html
  4. http://thepiratebay.org/index.html => https://thepiratebay.org/index.htm

I've marked in bold the problematic parts.
I propose you change: To:
And also change: To:
What do you think? It should take seconds to fix this and there are no downsides.
