It never actually was offline.

.rs .is .st

The original domains

Not for profit. They accept donations on an 'as needed' basis, and run no ads.

.fun

New non-profit mirror created by original creator of Library Genesis who lost direct control of the project as a result of disagreements over profiteering.

They are are currently collecting donations and do not have ads.

.li .gs .vg .pm

Operates using AdWords and donations. They collect donations all year.

The ads they use links you to pretty suspicious adware type software installs, but the site itself is safe.

Has a marginally larger database then the main domains as they add their own books.

(any other domains aside from these are run by unknown people mostly for profit)

If some domains die or change in the future you can tell us at

- True, the .li domain was still fine.
  
  There's also Anna's Archive, which I use primarily, since it provides downloads not just from their own db, but links to Libgen and other places where the given book is available.

What is this?

- Website for pirating books. A godsend for me during university, where I saved 100s of dollars per semester, while getting the books in a digital format which I prefer.

- Most domains (other than .li) were down for several days, making people worried it's gone for good.

Do I need a VPN for loading some books from there?

- That might depend on where you live, but generally no, I think.
