Introducing the "World's Most Private VPN" – Now Open for Testers

NymVPN distinguishes itself from other VPN services by offering users a choice on how their traffic is rerouted.

 

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a security tool that encrypts your internet connection and disguises your IP address. This is achieved by rerouting your data through an encrypted tunnel to one of the VPN’s servers.

While the technical details can be complex, using a VPN is straightforward: you select a server location and click connect. NymVPN distinguishes itself from other VPN services by offering users a choice on how their traffic is rerouted.

The Fast mode is designed for everyday online activities like messaging, casual browsing, and streaming. As suggested by its name, this mode prioritizes speed by rerouting traffic through a fully decentralized network utilizing two-hop servers. With upcoming support for WireGuard, users can anticipate even faster connections.

The Anonymous mode is tailored for highly sensitive activities and is what sets NymVPN apart from competitors. In this mode, traffic is routed through five different servers and supplemented with "network noise," making it exceptionally challenging for any third party to intercept the data.

NymVPN’s mix network is inspired by the concept of mix networks introduced by cryptographer David Chaum in the 1980s. The Mixnet approach, independently developed by Chelsea Manning while incarcerated for leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, employs several strategies to confound data surveillance efforts, including data fragmentation, dummy data packets, timing delays, and data packet shuffling.

“With advancements in AI-driven data analytics, data surveillance capabilities are growing stronger. There’s a need for advanced decentralized networks that can thwart these tracking attempts, not just now but in the future,” explains the provider in a blog post.

NymVPN uses a mix network to disrupt data surveillance by employing techniques such as fragmenting data, adding dummy data packets, introducing timing delays, and shuffling data packets.

When the NymVPN was first launched in its Alpha phase in November, Halpin explained: “AI models are effective at analyzing data by identifying patterns. Our VPN counters this by adding fake traffic, mixing traffic, and scrambling the patterns. In essence, while our service functions like a VPN, it’s essentially an anti-artificial intelligence machine.”
