Platform

What is LPN

LPN stands for Lofenta Private Network. It gives every project you deploy a private address that only your other projects, and you, can reach. It does not change your public site or API in any way, it just adds a second, private way in.


Private, across nodes

Lofenta runs projects across many physical servers. Two projects in the same account can land on different machines without you ever choosing that. LPN lets projects on the same network talk to each other by name over an encrypted tunnel, even when they are on different nodes, without the traffic ever touching the public internet.

Every network is isolated from every other customer's network, and from Lofenta's own infrastructure. That is enforced by the platform, not left as a convention you have to trust.

Reach it from your own machine

You can join the network yourself, too. Download a WireGuard configuration file from the dashboard, import it into the WireGuard app, and connect. Your computer gets its own private address on the network and reaches your projects the same way any other member does, no public port has to be opened for you to get in.

Two everyday examples

Your app talks to its database privately

Put your API and its database on the same LPN. The API reaches the database at a private address like api.prod.lpn.lofenta.internal, never over the open internet, even if the two run on separate nodes.

You connect to a container from your computer

Add yourself as a client, import the WireGuard config, and SSH or point a database client straight at a container's private address. Nothing has to be exposed publicly, and no extra proxy sits in the middle.

Free, on every plan

LPN is included on every plan, Hobby too. There is no add-on to buy and no upgrade required to create a network, attach a project, or connect a device.
