BROWSE WITHOUT A TRACE

Tired of wondering who's watching you? Corporations collecting your personal data? Not being able to access information because of where you are?

While other VPNs promise not to keep logs, the NymVPN network is designed so centralized logs are not possible. No point on the decentralized network can connect your IP address with what you do online. Your privacy is guaranteed by default.
When you connect with NymVPN, your online activity cannot be tied back to you by advertisers, network operators, or centralized infrastructure. You can browse, research, and communicate without creating a behavioral fingerprint that follows you across the internet.

WHY NYMVPN IS DIFFERENT

Most VPNs rely on centralized servers and ask you to trust their “no-logs” promises. NymVPN is built differently.
- Decentralized VPN (dVPN) architecture: Traffic is routed through independently operated nodes. There is no single server that can see both who you are and what you do online.

- Metadata protection, not just encryption: NymVPN protects traffic patterns, timing, and routing information. Even encrypted data can leak metadata. Nym is designed to prevent that.

- Noise Generating Mixnet technology: In Anonymous Mode, your traffic is mixed with cover traffic across multiple hops, making correlation and AI-driven traffic analysis extremely difficult.

- Two privacy modes, one app: Fast Mode uses a high-performance 2-hop decentralized VPN.
Anonymous Mode uses a 5-hop mixnet for maximum anonymity.

- Zero-knowledge accounts by design: No email signup. No personal data. Accounts are unlinkable from usage. Supports crypto and cash payments for full anonymity.

- Censorship-resistant networking: Built with AmneziaWG, QUIC, and stealth transport options to work in restrictive environments.

- Open-source and independently audited: Fully open source, with multiple third-party security audits by Cure53, Cryspen, Oak Security, and JP Aumasson.

- Built by academic cryptographers: Designed by researchers from KU Leuven and EPFL with 20+ peer-reviewed publications in privacy and cryptography.

INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED
- Audited by Cure53, Cryspen, Oak Security, JP Aumasson
- Featured in PCMag, TechRadar, Forbes, Bloomberg
- Trusted by 10,000+ privacy-focused users

NYMVPN IS PERFECT FOR:

- Streaming and browsing without being tracked by advertisers
- Secure public WiFi connections at cafes, airports, hotels
- Anyone in restrictive countries needing reliable access
- People who want true anonymity, not just hidden IP addresses
- Journalists and activists needing untraceable communication
