Nym is a noise-generating mixnet built on top of a decentralized network. By adding noise and mixing packets in its anonymous overlay network with per-packet routing, it accomplishes superior privacy to existing VPNs and even Tor. It also offers a “fast” mode that turns mixing off and offers speed comparable to VPNs, and is faster than Tor.
NymVPN is an interface, for all major operating systems, that makes using the Nym mixnet as easy as using a traditional VPN. No identity is required to subscribe to NymVPN as users are identified with key-pairs where the keys are used to create unlinkable anonymous credentials. These anonymous credentials are then used to “log in” to the VPN and delink any payment from usage of NymVPN. And Monero can be used for payment!
