Offering anonymous eSIM data plans in over 200 countries, disposable and rental phone numbers for SMS verification, WireGuard VPN access and anonymous AI chat tools, LNVPN has outgrown its original brand. The company has grown into a full-spectrum privacy infrastructure service.
The company started in 2022 as LNVPN. It began as a proof-of-concept Lightning Network VPN built for the Oslo Freedom Forum after Alex Gladstein asked the team to create a Lightning-enabled VPN for activists in oppressive regimes. The original focus was short-term VPN access paid with Lightning, allowing users to buy service by the hour or day instead of monthly subscriptions.
The service grew quickly. Users liked the flexibility of short-term access without accounts or contracts. In 2023 the company won a price in the 2023 bolt.fun hackathon and added SMS verification services. Users pay a Lightning invoice for a disposable phone number and receive a one-time confirmation code. The system uses HODL invoices so that if the code does not arrive the payment is refunded automatically.
The company later introduced eSIM data plans available in more than 200 countries. Customers buy fixed data bundles that can activate anonymously. Rental phone numbers followed last November. These let users rent a unique phone number for three, six or nine months to receive unlimited SMS messages without creating an account. At present the rental numbers are available only in the United Kingdom, with United States numbers planned for May. The team also launched anonymous AI chat services that require no sign-up or login and are free to use.
The name nadanada.me comes from the Spanish phrase for “nothing at all.” As the company stated, “What do we know about our users? Nada. What do we log? Nada. The name is the promise.”
This approach stands in contrast to traditional service providers that collect large amounts of user data, a practice that has led to repeated large-scale breaches at major corporations and government contractors.
In November 2025, analytics provider Mixpanel was hacked, exposing names, email addresses and approximate location data of some OpenAI API users. In early 2025, U.S. government contractor Conduent suffered a ransomware attack that compromised personal and health records of more than 25 million Americans. In January 2026, cryptocurrency hardware wallet maker Ledger reported that customer names and contact information were exposed through a breach at its third-party payment processor Global-e. Such incidents frequently enable identity theft, as stolen personal details like names, emails, addresses and health or financial records can be used to open fraudulent accounts, file fake tax returns or impersonate victims.
Nadanada.me represents a new generation of privacy services integrated with Lightning in pay-as-you-go models that leave no trace on the financial system or the blockchain, in defense of user privacy.
