Inside India’s censorship machine 🦚
India's digital landscape has become a surveillance battleground.
With 403.3 million VPN users in the country – roughly 27% of its internet users or close to ⅓ of global VPN usage – India hosts one of the world's largest resistances to state internet censorship.
This crisis has escalated from virtual restrictions on information access to physical arrests, creating an unprecedented digital rights emergency in the world's largest democracy.

📢 Nym Governance Updates: Quorum & Exit Policy
Hey Nym community,
We have two key governance proposals that are now live, and your participation is essential to help shape the future of Nym!
1️⃣ NIP-4: Nym Exit Policy – Open Port 587
What’s changing? NIP-4 updates the Nym exit policy by opening port 587, enabling secure SMTP email submission for NymVPN users.
Why? Previously, Nym exit nodes used an allow list. Moving to a deny list improved privacy and decentralization. Port 587, recommended for secure email, is currently blocked. Opening it allows users to send emails safely while keeping the network stable and secure.
Voting options:
• YES – I agree to open SMTP port 587
• NO – I do not want to open SMTP port 587
Process: If the vote meets quorum and receives majority support, a pull request will update the exit policy immediately. The Network Tunnel Manager (NTM) will also be updated so operators can configure WireGuard exit nodes to match the Mixnet policy.
2️⃣ NIP-5: Governance Quorum Update
What’s changing? NIP-5 proposes lowering the governance quorum from 30% to 20% or 15% to allow faster and more flexible decision-making.
Why? The original quorum was set at 30% under NIP-1. After NIP-2 reduced stake saturation, the network has grown, making it harder to reach the previous quorum. Reducing it will allow quicker governance while maintaining security standards.
Voting options:
• YES, 15% – I agree to lower the quorum to 15%
• YES, 20% – I agree to lower the quorum to 20%
• NO – I do not want to change the quorum
Process: If the vote meets quorum and one option receives the majority, that option becomes the new quorum for upcoming NIPs.
🎙 OPERATOR AMA: NIP-4 & NIP-5 Join us for an AMA to discuss these proposals with Serinko: Tuesday, December 9th | 15:30 UTC 🌏 https://meet.nymte.ch/OperatorsAMA
Come and share your thoughts, ask questions, and engage directly with the community!
And cast your vote now on Nym Governator and help decide what’s next for Nym.
• NIP-4: Nym Exit Policy Update – Opening Port 587
• NIP-5: Nym Governance Quorum Update – 33.3% → 20% or 15%1
