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.

502 gateway error. Works for other hosts like eztv, however. .se is changed to .org. Changing proxy_pass to http:// instead just redirects me to thepiratebay.org
