You can now use lightning to pay for the Mullvad VPN which adds another layer of privacy to this provider.
Seems they run a private node which is only routing through the Kraken node.

I've always paid for mullvad with lightning using:

They also have a tor site:

This guy might go out of business once Mullvad's lightning payments are out of beta :/

yep. Was helpful anyway. Way easier and more private to pay with LN.

It's a good start.
Why run it through Kraken though?

Why not? Obviously they won't be opening channels to every client they have. And they need to decide on SOMEONE to peer with. So the good choice is picking someone with a lot of liquidity and good connectivity - like exchange.

Of course not to every client. But would be nice if they had a public node where clients can open channels to them.

From what I could see is that they run their own private node but behind the Kraken node. Don't know why it is not public (yet).

This is great news. However, I am unable to select the number of months. I can only purchase one months extension using LN right now.

Maybe that is because of the beta phase.
