# Bridge Server
|
|
|
|
At its core, a Lightning Address Bridge Server is a simple HTTP server that has one primary function: provide the LNURL Pay payload information necessary to allow payments to a Lightning Address to reach a specific Lightning node. There are a few ways to connect to a bridge server:
|
|
|
|
## `bridgeaddr`
|
|
|
|
The [`bridgeaddr`](https://bridgeaddr.fiatjaf.com/) server tool is a simple server that allows you to receive Lightning payments at `yourname@yourdomain.com` in a non-custodial fashion. It is compatible with the following Lightning backends:
|
|
|
|
* Sparko
|
|
* LND
|
|
* LNPay
|
|
* LNBits
|
|
|
|
This server will serve the necessary JSON and then use RPC calls to connect to your node and fetch invoices on demand. You don't have to do anything besides buying a domain and setting up some DNS records. HTTPS will be provided automatically for you.
|
|
|
|
If you already have a domain name and a Lightning node and are ready to get started, head on over to the [`bridgeaddr`](https://bridgeaddr.fiatjaf.com/) documentation page to set it up. You can also run `bridgeaddr` server yourself by going to the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/fiatjaf/bridgeaddr).

|
## Satdress
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to host a Bridge Server on your own infrastructure to allow for you (and anyone else you would like to give access to) to connect your Lightning Address to a Lightning node, you can use [Satdress](https://github.com/fiatjaf/satdress). Satdress is a federated lightning addresses server.
|
|
|
|
Similar to `bridgeaddr` you can simply enter a few parameters on DNS and quickly connect your non-custodial Lightning node to a Lightning Address. It's a Simple plug-n-play server for supporting [Lightning Address](https://lightningaddress.com) protocol.
|
|
|
|
Satdress also has a simple web-facing user interface to provide an easy-to-use form to connect nodes to addresses.
