Del Andujar Is Building the Privacy Infrastructure Most People Don’t Know They Need
A 21-year-old founder from Knoxville, Tennessee is quietly constructing the digital plumbing that keeps everyday internet users anonymous, and his business hit six figures in year one without a single outside investor.

At 16, most teenagers are figuring out how to pass geometry. Del Andujar was figuring out how to route encrypted internet traffic through volunteer relay nodes. By 20, he had founded multiple companies, earned cybersecurity certifications from TryHackMe and Harvard’s CS50 program, and built a privacy infrastructure stack that serves thousands of users across the globe.
Today, Andujar runs two active ventures: InfoSecVPN, a zero-log virtual private network, and TrueData Solutions LLC, a GLBA-compliant identity verification platform. Both sit at the intersection of consumer privacy and practical cybersecurity, a space that is expanding rapidly as data breaches become routine and AI-driven surveillance tools grow more aggressive.
His story did not start in a dorm room or an accelerator. It started in a homeless shelter.
The origin no pitch deck would include
Andujar spent years couch-surfing with his mother before landing in a shelter at age 11. There was no family business to inherit, no network to leverage, no mentor to call. “I had nobody to guide me on what to do in terms of starting or owning a business,” he says. “I had to figure everything out on my own, from the ground up.”
That self-taught instinct led him to cybersecurity. Inspired by Edward Snowden’s revelations about mass government surveillance, Andujar started building rather than just reading. He launched his first venture, MooMoney Exchange, in 2021, a no-KYC crypto platform for gamers. He followed that with InfoSecVPN in 2024 and TrueData Solutions in 2025.
What his companies actually do
InfoSecVPN is not just another VPN slapped onto a marketing funnel. The service is invite-only, accepts cryptocurrency payments, and maintains a strict zero-log policy, meaning no user activity is stored, recorded, or monetized. The company uses OpenVPN protocol across a global server network, and access is managed through a Telegram bot integration designed for simplicity and anonymity.
TrueData Solutions approaches the problem from the other end. Instead of hiding your traffic, it shows you what is already exposed. The platform helps individuals and businesses search for their information in leaked databases and data broker repositories, then provides tools to reduce that footprint. Think of it as a digital exposure audit, built for consumers rather than enterprise SOC teams. The combination is strategic. One product shields you going forward. The other cleans up what is already out there.
The numbers behind the mission
Andujar’s companies crossed $100,000 in profit during the launch year, all bootstrapped. No venture capital. No angel round. No debt. In an industry where privacy startups routinely burn through millions before finding product-market fit, that number stands out not because it is massive, but because it is real.
He also operates two high-bandwidth Tor relay nodes, a Bitcoin full node, and a Monero full node, contributing infrastructure capacity to global anonymity networks. This is not marketing theater. Running Tor relays costs money, draws regulatory scrutiny, and attracts zero revenue. He does it because the network needs it.
Where it goes from here
Andujar recently secured an Autonomous System Number (AS209827), the first step toward building his own internet infrastructure. His five-year plan includes expanding beyond VPNs into encrypted email, secure communications platforms, and independent internet services.
“Personal data is one of the most valuable assets in today’s society, yet most people have no idea how much of it is being sold or used against them,” he says. “I believe over the next decade, it will become normal to be private about your life, as opposed to being open about it like everyone currently is.” For a founder who built his first company before he could legally sign a lease, that is not a prediction. It is a blueprint.
