Our story began in 2014, building communications technology used by activists living under the world’s most repressive regimes. 250 million downloads later, we’ve provided a lifeline during the most perilous global human rights crises of the decade. If it worked there, it’ll work anywhere.
When your users include dissidents and opposition journalists, the stakes are different. Our privacy guarantee means absolutely no logs and a fully open source stack that’s been independently audited.
Our optional Private Server mode lets you run Lantern VPN on your own hardware or cloud account. Included free with all plans – just pay your own server costs.
