Dear friends and fellow freedom fighters,
Who would have thought July would be such a productive month at Nym? Nym.com got a fresh coat of paint and some great new designs – check it out! Two NymVPN app releases, and in-app payments launched for iOS.
You can now pay for NymVPN in a range of crypto and privacy coins: Monero, Litecoin, Zcash, and much more on the way in coming weeks. Check out the space we just did today with the Litecoin community.
Nym governance is now rolling out with cool new voting tools. The most recent successful vote opened Monero and DarkFi ports via the Anonymous mode in NymVPN. Now protect your Monero transactions with the power of a mixnet.
Unfortunately, the UK’s Online Safety Act went into effect to impose data sharing and age verification on a wide range of content deemed “adult.” This will have serious effects on people’s privacy and access to information. Read what you can do to help Nym fight this new hydra’s head of surveillance.
The good news? Nym is building privacy tech from below to resist surveillance from above. Get NymVPN Early Bird Version for 80% off while the deal lasts, and join the rowdy crowd building a private internet one fixed bug at a time.
Building with you,
Nym
In the media
DLNews: “Trustless VPN signups surge as UK Online Safety Act sparks privacy rush”
“Signups for virtual private networks [...] are surging after new provisions from the UK’s Online Safety Act that enforce age and identity checks and require sites to block certain content for UK users came into effect last week. [T]ustless or decentralised VPNs [...] are benefitting too.”
Financial Times: “How VPNs knocked a hole in online safety efforts”
“Britain’s sudden VPN boom suggests plenty of tech-savvy teens, and cautious adults, are choosing instead to circumvent the controls.”
Isabelle Castro: “Jaya Brekke on Mixnets and digital privacy's inflection point”
“[P]rivacy isn’t about having ‘something to hide,’ but about preserving the basic integrity of how we make decisions and relate to one another offline within digital environments”

New app releases
There were two new NymVPN releases in July in the goal of making NymVPN as stable and bug-free as possible. Update to NymVPN v2025.12 if you haven’t already!
In-app for iOS
You can now pay for NymVPN directly in the iOS app. The feature will be extended to all apps in the coming month.
What’s coming next?
Stay up to date with the public roadmap for NymVPN development. Here’s what in the immediate pipeline:
- Completing the localization of the NymVPN apps and nym.com in 10+ languages
- The second phase of NymVPN’s censorship resistance program
- In-app payments for all apps
