Made a thing: Use Lightning to pay for your Mullvad VPN account

Hi all, I made a service that lets you pay for your Mullvad VPN account using Lightning! :-)

I'm sure that many of you already use a VPN or even use Mullvad yourselves, but as a TLDR, I've always been a fan of Mullvad because they:

1. Use pseudonymous, numbered accounts (source)
2. Accept Bitcoin
3. Champion new, open technologies such as WireGuard (source)

However, using a Credit Card or waiting for your onchain funds to confirm before you can start using your VPN ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) really bothered me. So I whipped up a service that allows you to pay for your Mullvad VPN account using Lightning!

Would love to know people's experience using my service and where I could improve, thanks!

I encourage you to access it via my Tor v3 hidden service, so that my server has no knowledge of your IP: http://soveng42aj6ynynkqeyut2dwnmwou45epfpuwvjy2t45fpxn3dk2ymad.onion/

Or perhaps via your existing VPN via HTTPS: https://vpn.sovereign.engineering/

Yeah I know I should use the RFC7838 Alt-Svc header...
