Report for Nhentai.net

Report Date October 6, 2025
Recommendation
Caution
Overall Summary
Suspicious
Why we think so

nhentai.net is a very high-traffic adult manga archive (about 88 million monthly visits, global rank ~124) that uses Cloudflare and HTTPS and has operated since 2014. It is not flagged by Google Safe Browsing or major crypto scam lists, but the site is at the center of active copyright litigation and uses WHOIS privacy — signals that increase legal and attribution risk. In short: technically well-run and widely used, but legally contested and lacking transparent business identity ⚠️

Red Flags & Warnings

  • WHOIS intentionally privacy-protected; registrant identity not disclosed.
  • Active copyright lawsuits and multiple news mentions about piracy and court orders to unmask operators.
  • Site hosts large volumes of user-accessible adult/pirated content, which increases risk of takedown and legal enforcement.
  • No clear business contact email or company address found on the domain; only social links were scraped.
  • Absence of trademark registrations for the brand; ownership and rights status unclear.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

Domain age & WHOIS

Score: 45/100
Failed

"Long-lived domain increases operational legitimacy, but registrant privacy reduces traceability for complaints or legal contact."

Reason: Domain exists since 2014 but uses privacy protection; owner identity is obscured.

Traffic & popularity

Score: 80/100
Passed

"SimilarWeb reports ~88M monthly visits and top-country shares centered in Japan and the US; not indicative of a short-term scam."

Reason: Very high traffic and global rank suggest the site is widely used and persistent.

Technical configuration

Score: 88/100
Passed

"Good basic security posture (CDN, HTTPS, Google MX). No active SSL issues reported; certificate valid through late 2025."

Reason: Uses Cloudflare CDN, HTTPS, and standard MX/TXT records; SSL is valid.

Contact transparency

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Absence of direct contact details makes verification and takedown/reporting harder for users and rights-holders."

Reason: No site-hosted support email or business address; only social links found.

Blacklists & phishing

Score: 75/100
Passed

"Scans show no distributed-malware or phishing flags, which lowers the immediate scam risk for visitors."

Reason: No matches in Google Safe Browsing or crypto scam lists.

Legal / IP risk

Score: 25/100
Failed

"Active lawsuits and court filings seeking to unmask operators indicate meaningful legal exposure and potential domain disruption."

Reason: Site is involved in ongoing copyright litigation and has received multiple takedown/DMCA actions.

Your Next Steps

  • 1
    Avoid submitting personal or payment information on this site; it provides free content and lacks clear business contact details.
  • 2
    If you must visit, use privacy controls: block downloads, run content in a sandboxed browser or with strong ad/malware blocking, and keep antivirus up to date.
  • 3
    Prefer official or licensed publishers for paid manga; avoid mirrors and similarly named domains (clones) which may host malware or phishing traps.
  • 4
    If you encounter suspicious payment requests or phishing, report the specific URL to Google Safe Browsing and to the site’s registrar abuse contact (abuse@registrar.eu).
  • 5
    Monitor news or court outcomes about the site if you depend on it; legal actions may cause domain changes, redirects, or loss of service.
