Frequently asked questions

How is NymVPN different than other VPNs?

Most VPNs on the market are centralized infrastructures. This means that all of your data is trusted to servers owned and operated by a VPN company. If there are data leaks, malicious surveillance, or government subpoenas, your data will be located in one spot. NymVPN is designed on a zero-knowledge and decentralized network in which no one handling your data can connect you to what you do online, even if they tried! NymVPN takes trust out of the equation.

Are free VPNs dangerous?

Yes, free VPNs are free because they make their money in ways that are at the detriment of their clients' privacy: selling traffic records to commercial third parties, installing targeted advertising into user browsing, and even installing tracker cookies on user browsers. This is not normal. Paying for a reputable, privacy-focused VPNs which is built by experts is can deliver the anonymity and protections against surveillance that these free services never will.
