Leading the Fight for an Open, Inclusive Internet

At the intersection of innovation and advocacy stands Lu Heng — a leader reshaping the internet into a space of access, integrity, and global purpose. As a thought leader in internet governance, Lu champions a digital future rooted in openness, fairness, and opportunity for all. His work invites you to reimagine the internet not just as infrastructure, but as a force for positive change.

Rewriting the Rules of Global Connectivity

Lu Heng’s journey began with a deep understanding of the critical issues posed by IPv4 address depletion. In response, he founded his LARUS Limited in 2016 and introduced his innovative IP leasing strategy that addresses the pressing problem of address scarcity.

This breakthrough solution not only makes connectivity more affordable for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Africa and Asia, but also reduces the burden on Regional Internet Registry (RIR) systems. LARUS Limited has revolutionized the industry by providing over 10 million IP addresses to customers in over 60 countries.
