Njalla (IPA: [ˈɲal:a]) is an anonymous domain name registrar, hosting provider and VPN provider, established by The Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde.[1]

History

[edit]

Peter Sunde started the company in 2017 as a middle man between domain registration and registrants in order to provide anonymity.[2]

In 2020, RIAA and MPA flagged Njalla as well as CDNs, apps (such as Telegram), hosting providers and advertisers that worked with piracy sites to be blacklisted by US government.[3]
