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?

my opinion about nym VPN for now is.. it's not very stable, and it was very unstable up until recently

before two things were very very annoying that tree me off, first is the connection was getting stuck after exactly one hour saying that everything is connected when it wasn't, and the second issue is partly of too many reconnects was that my *tb allowance was exhausted after 60gb which happened many months in a row

there are not as many nodes for the same country as I would like to have, and many nodes have not really good health (like websites ask for captcha or don't let you in)

on the other hand, if without tax and paying for two years with crypto, you can get it very very very cheap

and nym promised to be very secure and etc, and with more development the whole experience will get better

    (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.

    You can see the mixnet as network masquerade with technologies such as vless/v2ray/Trojan

    I have no experience yet, but wanted to purchase it. I'll wait for some more experience here.
