NymVPN user? Update your app now ahead of a behind-the-scenes network overhaul
NymVPN is upgrading the decentralized system that issues its anonymous credentials. Here's what's changing, why it matters, and why you should update your app now.
NymVPN is preparing to roll out an update to its network infrastructure. Users currently on older app versions should update their software to avoid potential connection issues. The provider has outlined what's to come and given users a chance to provide their input. NymVPN maintains its privacy-focused architecture by converting payments into NYM tokens, which generate anonymous credentials known as zk-nym.
These credentials allow users to access the network while keeping their payment details and activity separate. The upcoming update will refresh the system's signing keys and change the operators managing it, enhancing the credentials' robustness and decentralization. NymVPN also plans to introduce saved profiles for server combinations, QR code support, geo-exclusion for Russia, additional languages, and per-app split tunneling.
The VPN is actively seeking user feedback through a feature request board, with faster speeds currently prioritized.
