The Nym team has worked hard to improve NymVPN connection times and stability, and the results have been impressive with this latest release. We’re seeing upwards of 40% faster connections! Check it out and let us know how it’s working for you.

NymVPN v2026.10 also introduces:

• In-app creation for Android devices not connected with Google accounts
• Secure DNS tunneling to improve ad blocker
• Many improvements to app connection, UI, and stability

Improved connections

Some NymVPN users have reported long connection times across multiple platforms. After diving deep, we routed the problem to internal timeouts being hit silently in the connection flow.

Three fixes have significantly improved connection times across the board:

• To caching of account information
• Improved process for connectivity tests
• More enduring peer records for gateways

Improved ad blocker tunneling

We have added encrypted DNS protocols (DoH & DoT) for NymVPN’s ad blocker. This protects the feature’s DNS requests, which it uses to filter out known ads and trackers, via TLS (for DoT) and HTTPS (for DoH).

In-app account creation for de-Google’d devices

We’ve made things a bit easier for our Android comrades not using Google services and in-app payments. New users can now create a NymVPN account all in-app!
