Bridge Servers

If you don't want to roll out an entire HTTP / LNURL server on your own setup/infrastructure, but already have a Lightning node you want to use for your Lightning Address? You can use a Bridge Server to ensure your Lightning Node can properly receive payments from your Lightning Address. Check the Bridge Server instructions for a plug-n-play solution.
