Traditional Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), despite their name, do not actually protect our privacy. With advancements in metadata collection, traffic analysis, and AI tracking and surveillance, this goes for even well-reputed VPN services, no matter what they promise. What is needed is the next generation of VPN technology capable of defending privacy through innovative network design.

This is where NymVPN comes in. What makes the app different from other VPNs on the market today is its integration of “mixnet” (or mix network) technology to power the app’s Anonymous Mode. But what happens behind the screen when you select the Anonymous rather than Fast Mode?

In this guide, Nym will walk you through step by step how your data is handled and routed through the mixnet when you toggle on the Anonymous Mode in NymVPN.
