Nym Squads speak out 🗣: TupiNymQuim on the ground in Brazil
Following last week’s Nym Dispatch on the recent banning of X/Twitter in Brazil, as well as the use of VPNs to access the platform, Nym reached out to one of our beloved and dedicated Squads on the ground in Brazil, TupiNymQuim, to get their response and perspective.
The issue is simple: if VPNs did what they were supposed to do, governments wouldn’t know which sites you access. But things aren’t so simple...

Nym welcomes new researcher to its censorship resistance team 🧑💻🛋
Combatting censorship is one of the biggest challenges that VPNs face.
Censorship measures against privacy technologies are becoming more intense worldwide, especially in authoritarian countries. The future of VPN privacy technology will be found only in novel network designs which can circumvent them.
Recognizing that the stakes for millions of users is the freedom to information and expression, Nym is rising to the challenge by expanding its team of researchers and developers.

Who’s afraid of anonymity? 👁🗨💭
Let’s face it, “anonymity” has become a dirty word. It is too often associated with “hiding” illicit activities and the perpetrators behind them. Not only is this a false association, it also has huge consequences for our privacy whether we’re online or off.
Nym’s new series Who’s afraid of anonymity? will try to demystify anonymity and explore its fundamental relation to privacy and a safe, democratic life. But nothing is so simple, so we will also need to explore the limits and possible dangers of anonymity.

NYM is not just any other crypto token: it is incentivizing the most private digital journey you can take across the internet.

In this new weekly series, Nym will walk you through how Nym’s complex tokenomics works. But first things first, what does a token have to do with online privacy?

Dive into the deep wonders of NymVPN’s Anonymous Mode 😢
Nym has been going on and on about mixnets for a while. But now the Nym mixnet is really live and free to test with the click of “connect” to NymVPN’s Anonymous Mode.
But how does the mixnet underneath the hood work exactly? What makes it the most technologically sophisticated solution to online privacy available today? And, of course, why would you want to use it?

Nym censorship resistance update 📬
Censorship resistance means building technologies that circumvent the filtered internet.
The first step for building censorship resistance into Nym is to monitor the current state of censorship of the Nym mixnet. That way, the core team can determine exactly if the mixnet is already being censored, and if so, exactly how, so that this censorship can be circumvented.
Why is censorship resistance important & what can you do to help? Tap the button below to find out.
