What is NymVPN?
NymVPN is a decentralized VPN from Nym Technologies SA that offers a WireGuard dVPN mode and a mixnet mode. Sign-up uses an anonymous 24-word passphrase with no email. A 1-year plan is shown at EUR 3.50 per month (EUR 42 billed yearly), with servers in 70+ locations and up to 10 devices per account.
How NymVPN works
NymVPN has two modes.
Its App Store listing describes the dVPN mode as a 2-hop connection based on AmneziaWG, a WireGuard variant, where the entry and exit servers are run by independent operators, so no single operator sees both who you are and where you go. The Mixnet mode sends packets through 5 hops, mixes them with other users' packets and adds cover traffic to defeat traffic analysis. You choose the entry and exit servers yourself.
Payment and use are separated by zk-nym anonymous access credentials; the pricing page says payment data cannot be linked to your activity. The nym.com homepage lists 800+ nodes, servers in 70+ countries and residential IP support. Nym added post-quantum key exchange in April 2026 and mixnet tuning controls in July 2026, per its announcements.
