History
Peter Sunde started the company in 2017 as a middle man between domain registration and registrants in order to provide anonymity.{{Cite web |url=https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-founders-njalla-criticized-for-protecting-pirate-sites-181019/ |title=Pirate Bay Founder's 'Njalla' Criticized For Protecting Pirate Sites |date=2018-10-19 |access-date=2022-11-05 |website=TorrentFreak |last=Maxwell |first=Andy |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221025142157/https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-founders-njalla-criticized-for-protecting-pirate-sites-181019/ |archive-date=2022-10-25 |url-status=live}}
In 2020, RIAA and MPA flagged Njalla as well as CDNs, apps (such as Telegram), hosting providers and advertisers that worked with piracy sites to be blacklisted by US government.{{Cite web |url=https://torrentfreak.com/riaa-and-mpa-want-domain-registries-and-njalla-on-us-piracy-watchlist-201110/ |title=RIAA and MPA Want Domain Registries and Njalla on US Piracy Watchlist |date=2020-11-10 |access-date=2022-11-05 |website=TorrentFreak |last=Van der Sar |first=Ernesto |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221024090536/https://torrentfreak.com/riaa-and-mpa-want-domain-registries-and-njalla-on-us-piracy-watchlist-201110/ |archive-date=2022-10-24 |url-status=live}}
