In the past few weeks, LNemail has gotten a few improvements: * First sent email for free (easier onboarding and testing, also nice for one-off accounts) * Uptime and reliability * Passkey login * Plus addresses (user+something@lnemail.net goes to user@lnemail.net) * Local storage of sent emails (the server doesn't keep your sent emails) * UI improvements Still Bitcoin only, and the price hasn't changed. 1,000 sats per year per account. And don't forget to try the browser extension for managing several accounts, with auto fill and optional automatic NWC based renewals: If you haven't tried it yet:
We're one of the few online services priced in Bitcoin. Just 1,000 sats per year for each anonymous email account! Don't forget about the browser extension if you want to keep track of your accounts and get new ones instantly with background payments using NWC on your browser. Harder to make this cheaper, or more private, or more secure.
Apart from the new browser extension with form autofill and NWC payments, you can now log in to LNemail with a passkey.
We're releasing a browser extension to make it easier to sign up to places with privacy. And keep track of your existing accounts. Images are worth more than words: Basically auto filling with a fresh new account on sign ups, keeping track of what account was used were. Automated payments and renewals with NWC with your limits. And a single place to check all accounts at once. You can also import your existing accounts. And export all accounts anytime. Try it today on Firefox or Chromium based browsers, also on mobile.
We had some downtime today, sorry for the inconvenience. We self host the server handling the emails and the payments. And we use a VPS from a privacy friendly company (@Mynymbox - Privacy friendly hosting solutions ) in front of it. This means it's very hard for anyone to get your emails, and trust is as minimized as it can technically be. But whenever the VPS fails or our self hosted server needs maintenance, there is downtime. At least you now know that it's for a good reason. Thanks for your support!
LNemail improvements just dropped: - Recover token option from the inbox page. - Simpler token format. Easier to store and without potentially confusing charcaters (l I). Example: lne_17Z1E-1V87W-VNGCH-KW9BD-3ENE2 (Crockford Base 32). - Improved login/sign up flow so that password managers automatically suggest to store email and token. Thanks to all for the ideas!
Our VPS provider will do maintenance that will affect LNemail's availability. The maintenance window is scheduled for April 17, 2026, from 12:00 to 15:00 CET
@npub1lnvp...7vjj there's a networking issue affecting LNVPS instances that's blocking connectivity to several external hosts. Root cause: ICMP "Fragmentation Needed" messages (type 3, code 4) are being dropped before reaching tenant VMs, breaking Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD). Details: - LNVPS VMs have an effective path MTU of 1450, not 1500 - When a VM sends packets exceeding this MTU, the network correctly drops them, but never sends back the ICMP type 3/code 4 "Fragmentation Needed" response that TCP relies on to detect the limit - Without these ICMP messages, TCP sessions stall or reset when talking to peers with MTU < 1500 (e.g. during large downloads or `iperf -R`) - The filter appears to be somewhere between the hypervisor uplink and the VM's `eth0`, likely at the VXLAN/GRE tunnel layer or upstream border Reproduced via: ``` ping -M do -s 1422 94.156.119.69 โ†’ 4/4 received (within MTU) ping -M do -s 1423 94.156.119.69 โ†’ 0/4 received (exceeds MTU, silently dropped) tcpdump 'icmp[0] == 3' during probe โ†’ 0 packets (no ICMP unreachables arriving at eth0) ``` You can reproduce this directly: `curl -v https://deb.debian.org/debian/extrafiles` from any LNVPS machine will stall. `apt` on Debian is broken for the same reason. Fix (either of): 1. Allow ICMP type 3 code 4 through to tenant VMs 2. Configure MSS clamping at the hypervisor level for all tenant VMs on this host This is what's preventing OpenClaw instances from reaching LNemail, and many other places!
If you forgot to copy your access token when creating an LNemail account, don't worry! **There are several ways to get your access token:** 1. From the LN invoice memo 2. Run `localStorage.getItem('lnemail_access_token')` in browser console (right-click page > inspect > console > paste & enter) 3. Check API requests in Network tab - look for Authorization header after `Bearer ` The token is safely stored in your browser's local storage. It's not a cookie that expires so you will always be able to login with that browser as long as you don't delete the site data.
