NymVPN is a decentralized VPN powered by the Noise Generating Mixnet. It protects not just your
traffic but your metadata: the patterns of who you talk to, when, and from where. No single server
sees who you are and what you do, so there are no meaningful traffic logs to keep or hand over.
Two modes, one app:
- dVPN mode: 2-hop WireGuard (AmneziaWG) for fast streaming and browsing on a decentralized
network.
- Mixnet mode: 5-hop routing through the Noise Generating Mixnet, a more private successor
to Tor, with cover traffic to defeat traffic analysis. Ideal for crypto, email, and messaging.
What you get:
- Anonymous accounts: no email, no name
- Pay with crypto or cash; zero-knowledge credentials delink your payment from your VPN use
- Anti-censorship technology: beat VPN blocking with QUIC, AmneziaWG, and more
- Swiss jurisdiction, outside the 14 Eyes
- Fully open source, independently audited
- 70+ countries, with entry and exit server selection
- Kill switch, custom DNS, split tunneling, and an ad and tracker blocker powered by Brave
NOTE: This package provides the client application only. The VPN also needs the daemon,
nym-vpnd, installed and running:
- deb package (set up the Nym deb repository first):
nym-vpnd
- AUR packages:
nym-vpnd and nym-vpnd-bin
