Private, secure Swiss dVPN. WireGuard, mixnet, decentralized proxy, no email.

NymVPN: the world's most private VPN. A secure, decentralized, anonymous Swiss dVPN with no logs. WireGuard speed, Noise Generating Mixnet anonymity. No email signup. No ads. 🎁 7-DAY FREE VPN TRIAL & PLANS FROM $2.39/MONTH Try free for 7 days, no commitment. Pay in crypto, card, or cash: your choice. 🛡 PRIVACY BY DESIGN Most VPNs say 'no logs' as policy — they can log, they promise not to. Free VPNs track you to sell your data. NymVPN's architecture makes meaningful traffic logs impossible: our decentralized, anonymous network of servers routes your traffic through multiple hops, so no single server sees who you are AND what you do. Even Nym can't connect your identity to your activity. No logs to hand over: none to keep in the first place. ⚡ TWO VPN MODES, ONE APP • dVPN mode: AmneziaWG (WireGuard)-based 2-hop dVPN. Fast streaming and browsing on a decentralized network so no single operator can log you. • Mixnet mode: 5-hop Noise Generating Mixnet, a more private successor to Tor. Routes your traffic through independently operated servers, mixes your packets with others, and adds noise and cover traffic to defeat traffic analysis. The most anonymous consumer VPN available today. Perfect for crypto, email, and private messaging like Signal. 💰 PAY ANONYMOUSLY WITH CRYPTO OR CASH NymVPN accepts more cryptocurrencies than any other VPN, plus cash payments. Pay with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), USDT, USDC, NYM, and many more. Zero-knowledge credentials delink your payment from your VPN use: pay anonymously, use anonymously. 💎 WHY NYMVPN IS DIFFERENT • Zero-knowledge architecture: your identity invisible even to Nym • No logs by architecture: the network can't keep meaningful traffic logs • Decentralized proxy network: no central server can compromise or surveil your traffic • Swiss jurisdiction: outside the 14 Eyes surveillance alliance, protected by the strongest privacy laws in the world • WireGuard and mixnet protocols: a fast VPN and the most private way to be online • No email signup: no personal data required • Fully open source: audited by independent security researchers • 70+ countries: servers worldwide for global streaming and access • Up to 10 devices on one account 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY FEATURES • Built-in kill switch: automatic traffic stop if the VPN connection drops • Censorship resistance: prevent VPN blocking and access the global internet with QUIC, AmneziaWG, and other techniques • Multi-layer onion encryption • Entry & exit server selection • Split tunneling: route only the apps you choose through the VPN • Custom DNS: use any DNS server you trust • Ad blocker powered by Brave 🌍 WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH NYMVPN • Browse anonymously without leaving a trace • Encrypt your traffic on public wifi at airports, cafes, hotels • Bypass internet censorship in restrictive regions • Protect sensitive communications for journalism, activism, and research • Stop ISPs from profiling your browsing for ad targeting • Block malicious websites, trackers, and ads at the DNS level 🇨🇭 SWISS PRIVACY, BY DESIGN NymVPN operates under Swiss law, with the strongest privacy protections in the world. Switzerland sits outside the 14 Eyes surveillance alliance, with constitutionally protected privacy rights and no mandatory data retention. With a decentralized, no-logs architecture, your data is protected by both law and design: not by a promise that could be broken or quietly changed in a privacy policy. 🎓 BUILT BY ACADEMIC CRYPTOGRAPHERS NymVPN is built by Nym, trusted by journalists, activists, and privacy-conscious users worldwide. Our protocols are open-source and audited by independent security researchers. 🚫 WHAT WE DON'T DO • We don't ask for your email or your name • We can't track which sites you visit • We can't sell, share, or rent your data 📲 GET STARTED Download NymVPN, create an anonymous account without an email or even a name, and start browsing privately.

  • Nov 5, 2026 nym-vpn-v2026.15.0
    Nym VPN v2026.15.0 application and core binaries. ## 🚀 What's New ### 🛠️ Core #### Added - Add a bridge mode (auto, on, off) in place of the QUIC on/off setting (config v14). Auto connects over plain WireGuard first and alternates with the bridge on each retry - Add `delete_account` command that deletes the account through the VPN API and removes local account data (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6790) - Add a `SetBridgeMode` gRPC call and `vpnc tunnel set --bridge-mode` to choose the bridge mode (auto, on or off), replacing the `SetEnableBridges` gRPC call and `vpnc tunnel set --circumvention-transports`, which are removed (breaking: an older desktop app calling `SetEnableBridges` against this daemon gets UNIMPLEMENTED)
    More…
    - Add `--wait` to `nym-vpnc reconnect` to block until the tunnel has reconnected or failed (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6849) - `bridge_transports.enabled` feature flag (`FeatureFlags::bridge_transports_enabled`, uniffi `is_bridge_transports_enabled`) for the v2 bridge transports (TLS and SSH after QUIC). Bridges and QUIC do not depend on it - `BridgeAddress` in the connection data carries the bridge transport in use (`transport`: QUIC, TLS or SSH) - When the `bridge_transports.enabled` feature flag is on, a bridge connection tries QUIC for 5 seconds, then races the entry gateway's TLS and SSH bridges. The firewall allows only the bridges being tried, QUIC over UDP and TLS and SSH over TCP, in both the connecting and connected states. With the flag off or unset, QUIC only as before - Add support for custom secure DNS. Supported protocols: TLS, HTTPS, QUIC, HTTP/3. Currently only cli supports that. No UI support yet. (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6876) #### Changed - Read gateway bridge transports from `transports_v2` (falling back to `transports` for older bridges), skipping transport types this build does not know, so gateways can advertise TLS, SSH and future transports without breaking the gateway list - `nym-vpnc reconnect` now fails when the daemon rejects the reconnect because the tunnel is not set to connect (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6849) - [iOS] Flush DNS when changing ad-block setting by reconnecting the tunnel (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6866) - `nym-vpnc dns set` no longer removes all custom DNS. Use `nym-vpnc dns clear` instead (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6876) - `nym-vpnc dns set` no longer accepts positional argument to configure plain DNS. Use one of the following arguments instead: `--plain`, `--tcp` or `--udp` (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6876) - Count bandwidth usage locally and fetch remote gateway quota less frequently to improve mobile battery usage (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6803) #### Fixed - Fix the gateway mixnet score being decoded from the general score in the gRPC conversion (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6859) - Fix `nym-vpnc connect --wait` waiting forever when the tunnel is already connected (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6849) - Fix `nym-vpnc` `--wait` options missing fast tunnel state changes and reporting success when the daemon's event stream ends (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6849) - SOCKS5 proxy no longer misses tunnel state updates and reacts to them immediately instead of polling every 2 seconds. Fixed the SOCKS5 proxy sometimes staying on after the VPN disconnected, or turning off right after being enabled (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6850) - Stop the internal SOCKS5 mixnet client and its listener on `127.0.0.1:1081` when SOCKS5 is disabled, so the next enable starts a new mixnet client instead of reusing the first session's (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6854) - Enabling SOCKS5 now fails when the SOCKS5 address is already in use, instead of reporting success while nothing listens on it (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6854) - Stop emitting the same tunnel state twice while connecting the tunnel (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6852) - Top-up blocking the shutdown (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6912) - Respect cancellation during skew resync after registration failure (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6953) #### Security - [Linux] The install script now installs `nym-vpnd`, `nym-socks5-proxy` and `NymVPN.AppImage` as root-owned. Previously, raw installs (the default on distros other than Debian, Ubuntu and Mint) left them owned by the installing user, who could replace them and get code run as root. Existing raw installs stay affected until fixed with `sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/nym-vpnd /usr/bin/nym-socks5-proxy /usr/bin/NymVPN.AppImage`, or until reinstalled with `./install uninstall` followed by `./install` (uninstalling removes `/etc/nym/nym-vpnd.toml`) (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6914) ### 🤖 Android app #### Added - Hide overlay windows on sensitive screens (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6780) - `playtest` build type for local Google Play billing testing (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6855) #### Changed - Open server list instantly with saved servers and updates in the background (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6799) - Google Play build keeps plan selection, renewal and subscription management on Google Play billing (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6855) #### Fixed - Restore residential icon on exit servers list (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6793) - Show connected server country before server list loads (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6858) - Fix mixed "your country" subtitles after picking Auto (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/pull/6858) ### 🐧🪟 Windows & Linux apps #### Fixed - Home screen: hide the server quality bar until a gateway is selected (https://github.com/nymtech/nym-vpn-client/issues/6557) ## 📦 Core Components Overview - `nym-vpnd`: Background daemon service managed via the UI app or CLI. - `nym-vpnc`: Command-line interface (CLI) to control the daemon (`nym-vpnd`). - `nym-socks5-proxy`: SOCKS5 proxy handling geo-exclusion routing. - `nym-diagnostic`: System information and network troubleshooting tool. - `nym-setup`: macOS helper tool for system service configuration. ## 💾 Downloads & Assets ### 🤖 Android - `nym-vpn-fdroid-2026.15.0-release.apk`: Android App (F-Droid Build) <details> <summary>How to verify the build fingerprint?</summary> #### Signing Certificate SHA-256 Fingerprint (4096-bit): ```text 3c98a016aa4f14a3ba185c764ed363415cf7ff3c3d328a87ffff2ff1b140ff06 ``` #### Verification Steps: To verify the build fingerprint on your system, run: ```sh apksigner verify --print-certs "nym-vpn-fdroid-2026.15.0-release.apk" | grep SHA-256 ``` </details> ### 🐧 Linux - **Desktop App** - `nym-vpn-app_2026.15.0_amd64.deb`: Nym VPN app, debian package (x86_64) - `nym-vpn-app_2026.15.0_arm64.deb`: Nym VPN app, debian package (arm64) - `NymVPN_2026.15.0_amd64.AppImage`: Nym VPN app, AppImage (x86_64) - `NymVPN_2026.15.0_aarch64.AppImage`: Nym VPN app, AppImage (arm64) - **CLI & Daemon** - `nym-vpnd_2026.15.0_amd64.deb`: Nym VPN daemon, debian package (x86_64) - `nym-vpnd_2026.15.0_arm64.deb`: Nym VPN daemon, debian package (arm64) - `nym-vpnc_2026.15.0_amd64.deb`: Nym VPN command-line tool, debian package (x86_64) - `nym-vpnc_2026.15.0_arm64.deb`: Nym VPN command-line tool, debian package (arm64) ### 🍎 macOS - `NymVPN-2026.15.0.pkg`: Desktop App Installer - `nym-vpnc-2026.15.0.pkg`: Command-Line Tool Installer ### 🪟 Windows - `NymVPN_2026.15.0_x64-setup.exe`: Desktop App Installer (x64) - `NymVPN_2026.15.0_arm64-setup.exe`: Desktop App Installer (arm64)
