Seamless login from app to web
Thanks to new deeplinking, you can more easily connect your account between your NymVPN app and nym.com. The app will generate a secure code which you can use to access your account on the web rather than having to log in again with your 24-word passphrase.
Improved secured authentication
NymVPN has introduced new privacy and safety enhancements to the secure communication between the daemon and apps. This follows recommendations by the Cure53 security audit completed in 2025.
🚨For Linux users: There is a new authentication protocol on Linux devices which requires you to install policykit-1-gnome.
For macOS: These changes will be live in a subsequent release.
A new diagnostic tool has been added to the logs to improve optional bug reporting to the Nym team.
Fixes
- All apps: Streamlined coding for DNS resolution
