Offering anonymised eSIM data plans in over 200 countriesWith disposable or rented phone numbers for SMS verification, access to WireGuard VPN and AI-powered anonymous chat tools, LNVPN has outgrown its original branding. The company has grown into a full-scale privacy infrastructure service.
The company started in 2022 as LNVPN. It started as a proof-of-concept VPN built for the Oslo Freedom Forum after Alex Gladstein asked the team to create a Lightning-enabled VPN for activists in repressive regimes. The original focus was short-term, paid VPN access using Lightning, allowing users to purchase the service by the hour or day instead of monthly subscriptions.

The name nadanada.me comes from the Spanish phrase meaning “nothing at all.” As the company stated, “What do we know about our users? Nada. What do we record? Nada. The name is the promise.”
This approach contrasts with traditional service providers that collect large amounts of user data, a practice that has led to repeated, widespread breaches at major corporations and government contractors.
