About us

A company built to know less

Short answer

LunoVPN is an independent, remote-first privacy company headquartered in San Diego, California. It sells one product, a VPN, funded entirely by subscriptions with no advertising and no data sales. Accounts carry no email address or name, the client applications are open source, and the no-logs implementation was independently audited across 131 controls in 2026.

The idea

The safest data is data nobody collected

Most privacy products are built the other way round: collect what is convenient, then promise to look after it. That promise is only as good as the company's next security incident, next owner, or next legal demand — and by then the data already exists.

We started from the opposite end. If an account does not need an email address, do not ask for one. If a tunnel does not need a session record to work, do not write one. If a payment can arrive without a name attached, accept that too. Each of those decisions costs a little convenience and removes an entire category of risk permanently.

A breach cannot expose a field that was never in the database. A subpoena cannot compel a record that was never written.

What that looks like in practice

Your account is a random 16-digit number. There is no email field anywhere in signup, no name, no phone number, no address. We keep no browsing history, no DNS queries, no session timestamps tied to an account and no user-attributable IP records. Monero is accepted directly so the payment carries no identity either. And because “we don't log” is a phrase every provider uses, we had an outside firm test the claim across 131 controls and published the whole report, including the four things they told us to improve.

The parts we are not proud of

We have one audit; some competitors have years of them. There is no free tier, so if you cannot pay, Proton VPN is the honest recommendation rather than us. Our network is the smallest in our own comparison. And a VPN moves trust rather than removing it — you stop trusting your ISP and start trusting us, and no amount of open source fully closes that gap. If your safety depends on not being identified, Tor is the better tool and we say so on our own site.

How we operate

Six rules we actually follow

Collect nothing by default

Every new feature starts from zero data. If it needs something about you, it needs a reason strong enough to survive an argument.

Publish the bad news too

Our audit report includes the findings we failed. A transparency page that only contains good news is marketing wearing a lab coat.

Name a competitor when they are better

Our comparison page ranks Proton VPN above us on a balanced average, and we left it that way.

No claims we cannot support

No “military-grade encryption”, no “100% anonymous”, no “fastest in the world”. The list is on our press page so you can hold us to it.

Ship code people can read

Clients are open source with published build configuration, so the binary can be checked against the source rather than trusted.

Tell people when they don't need us

Our threat model assessment recommends Tor, a browser change, or nothing at all when those are the right answer.

FAQ

About questions

Who is behind LunoVPN?
A small remote-first team headquartered in San Diego, California. We are deliberately not a large operation: fewer people means fewer systems holding data and fewer places where a mistake can happen.
Why should I trust LunoVPN?
You shouldn't, not on the strength of a page like this. Trust the things you can check: the client source is published, the no-logs implementation was assessed by an outside firm across 131 controls with the full report online including the findings we were told to fix, and the signup form asks for nothing. Those are verifiable. Our good intentions are not.
How does LunoVPN make money?
Subscriptions, and nothing else. No advertising, no data sales, no affiliate deals with the competitors we compare ourselves against, and no free tier funded by something we would rather not explain. $3.99 a month, $10.99 for three months or $29.99 a year is the whole business model.
Is LunoVPN owned by a larger company?
No. It is independent. If that ever changes we will say so on this page and in the warrant canary, because a change of ownership is exactly the kind of thing that should be disclosed rather than discovered.
What happens to my data if LunoVPN shuts down?
There is very little to happen to. We hold a 16-digit number, whether a subscription is active, and a payment reference. No email address, no name, no activity records. In a wind-down there would be nothing meaningful to sell, transfer or leak, which is a deliberate property of the design rather than a happy accident.
