NymVPN v2025.16 is live

Versions: Linux v1.17.0 | Windows v1.170 | iOS v2.11.0

Today, the Nym team is releasing NymVPN v2025.16 for Windows, Linux, and iOS. and MacOS and Android will be updated in the coming release..

Here’s what you need to know.

Gateway selection

The NymVPN app will now display and prefer highest performing gateways in the gateway selection menu. In addition to improving how node performance is measured and displayed, this will help you choose the best path through the network and improve the app’s overall performance.

When no high performing gateways are available in a location, medium performing nodes or an error will be displayed for that location.

QUIC infrastructure in place

NymVPN v2025.16 lays the technical support for the rollout of the QUIC protocol, which is now being thoroughly tested before being available soon in your UI. Read more about what QUIC is, and how it will help with making NymVPN censorship resistant.

Preparing LAN bypass

The software is in place to allow for a LAN bypass on Linux and Windows desktop apps, which will help maintain connections in the event of software issues. Full support will be progressively extended to all apps.

Preparing new gateway selection features

Soon US gateways will be selectable based on their US state, allowing you more fine-grained selection of your access point to the web. As the internet in places as large as the United States splinters through state-based regulations and bans, this will be an important component of gaining access to information and content.

Bug fixes

Important fixes have been implemented to address the following connection and UI problems across apps:

• Mixnet tunnel connections
• Changing countries
• Disconnection due to bandwidth caps
