Lunar Network¶
Privacy-first network services and APIs
A unified collection of secure, lightweight network services and APIs for IoT devices and custom Android ROMs—without exposing user data or relying on centralized profiling systems.
🔒 Why Lunar Network?¶
Modern connected devices need essential network services—DNS, time sync, location, and connectivity checks. But traditional providers track every request, building detailed profiles of your behavior. Lunar Network provides these services with zero tracking and complete privacy.
Built for IoT developers, custom ROM maintainers, and privacy-conscious organizations, Lunar Network delivers the infrastructure you need without compromising user privacy.

🔐 Privacy First
No behavioral analytics, no unique user tracking identifiers, minimal metadata retention.
🧱 Open & Auditable
Transparent protocol definitions, well-documented APIs, open-source reference implementations.
⚙️ Stateless Design
Ephemeral requests with no persistent user data or session tracking.
🌐 Free & Enterprise
Free public service for developers, with enterprise-grade deployment options available.
📡 Network Services¶
🛰 Connectivity Check
Network reachability and captive portal detection without sending data to third parties.
🌍 DNS
Privacy-focused DNS resolution with no query logging or user profiling.
⏰ NTP
Network Time Protocol for accurate time synchronization critical for TLS and system operations.
📡 SUPL
