NymVPN’s massive new update adds one-click connections, advanced split tunneling, and fresh pricing
NymVPN v2026.12 is live! 🚀 The decentralized VPN just launched one-click connections, desktop geo-exclusion, faster mobile data stability, and new anti-censorship tools. Here's a full breakdown of what’s changed and how it affects your subscription.
The latest version of the NymVPN app, v2026.12, has been released, bringing a host of speed-focused enhancements, usability improvements, better onboarding, and advanced anti-censorship capabilities. The update is targeted at making the VPN service available to more users in more locations with less interference.
In terms of technical improvements, NymVPN has revamped its WireGuard handshake to offer faster, more stable cellular connections, reducing the likelihood of disconnections when switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. The app also introduces a new onboarding experience to help users navigate the VPN's unique decentralized mixnet.
One-click connections have been added, offering users a "Safest" default setting that automatically connects to a strong-performing server near their location. Users can also choose "Random" to break traffic analysis patterns, or select "Favorites" and "Recents" for quick access to trusted nodes. Split tunneling has been expanded to include geo-exclusion, which allows for more precise control over app-specific traffic routing, such as routing banking apps outside the VPN while keeping international traffic protected. Geo-exclusion is currently available for Chinese IPs, with more countries to be added soon.
To help users in restrictive regimes, NymVPN has introduced a camouflage icon feature for Android devices, allowing users to hide the app behind a discreet alternative logo. The VPN provider is also expanding its accessibility by adding support for five new languages: Traditional Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong), Japanese, Italian, and Indonesian.
Pricing changes reflect the app's growing feature set. A new six-month plan at $6 per month has been introduced, in addition to the standard monthly tier at $8. The two-year subscription tier has been retired, and the best value is now the one-year plan at $4 per month. Existing two-year subscribers will retain their current plan, with it automatically renewing as a one-year plan upon expiration.
The provider emphasizes that its privacy is guaranteed by design, not by promise, as a centralized VPN structure cannot maintain such a commitment.
