This popped up on my radar last month. The article I was reading touted NYM as the most secure & private VPN on the market and I just wanted to run it by the pros here to see if anyone has a bead on NYM or perhaps uses NYM.

They have an implimentation in their network they call 'Mixnet'. It's a random noise generator, which sounds intriguing:

If you're into comparisons, the Nym mixnet is conceptually similar to other systems such as Tor, but provides improved protections against end-to-end timing attacks which can de-anonymize users. When Tor was first fielded, in 2002, those kinds of attacks were regarded as science fiction. But the future is now here

Does anyone have any sauce on NYM VPN?

(like websites ask for captcha or don’t let you in)

Thank you for your comment. As far as captcha, the way I have my network set up, captcha's are just part of the 'way it is'. I would rather captchas than have my jimmy just hanging out exposed in the ether tho. I was just very curious about NYM because it sounds very promising. The reviews I've read from as recent as 01-25 place NYM in the beta range of development tho, so I'll keep an eye on it.
