New Governance Proposal: NIP-7 – Nym Exit Policy Update

Hey Nym operator community,

We have an important governance proposal open for feedback on the forum, and your input matters!

NIP-7 proposes opening new ports as part of the Nym exit policy so that Steam, Discord voice chat, and SSH/certificate services can run smoothly and securely through NymVPN.

Proposed ports

• Steam: 3478, 4379 to 4380
• Discord voice: 50000 to 65535
• SSH / Certificate: 2222, 223

Feedback will be accepted until the end of today, 23.01.2026. Voting on Nym Governator will open afterward and remain open for 5 days, until 28.01.2026.

If approved, these changes will make NymVPN more user-friendly while keeping privacy and security at the core of the network.

P.S. If you know of any other ports that are important for gaming, please share them in the comments under this NIP-7 thread.

Voting is now open on the Nym Governator for NIP-7! Voting will close in just less than 5 days, on Thursday, 29 January.

Thanks to the Keplr team for their work integrating native and ERC-20 $NYM to their wallet UX. Get, trade, swap, and stake $NYM much more easily. And join us today for a Community Call with Keplr to hear more about the integration, and some more news as well!

Nym is proud to welcome the Keplr wallet to NymVPN’s checkout! You can now get a NymVPN plan with a wide range of coins on Keplr. And don’t forget, get a whopping 87% off when you purchase with $NYM tokens! With both native and ERC-20 $NYM now easily accessible directly from Keplr, this couldn’t be easier.

Nym's Harry Halpin and Alexis Roussel are presenting the project this morning at FOSDEM'26 in Bruxelles at 9:50 UTC. You can watch the livestream of the talk here.

Hi everyone: We know a lot of you are wondering what the roadmap for Nym and NymVPN is for 2026. We're not ignoring that! The truth is, we're in the process of finalizing the terms of some important and exciting partnerships for this year. Once this is done, we will be able to share a more exact roadmap for new features and plans. We're not in the void, we're in the kitchen! Thanks for the patience and enthusiasm. 🙏

NymVPN v2026.2 is live, with connection improvements to the dApp mode and better app diagnostics.

iOS users: The app is in review by Apple Store and will be available shortly!

Introducing nym.com and NymVPN apps in Hindi! Thanks a bunch to the hard work of our community translators. We've got a few new cool languages coming soon.

After a delay with the Apple Store, you can now update to NymVPN v2026.2 on iOS! Stayed tuned for new app releases next week.

NymVPN v2026.3 is now live and introduces new optional login options via social accounts for ease of access.

The team is also rolling out more localizations for stores, apps, and nym.com to extend access to more people around the world who need real privacy protections. Of course, the 24-word passphrase login remains for those who prefer it.

Big news today: We are introducing new lower prices for NymVPN. The app is now working in some of the most censored internet environments around the world, so Nym wants the app to be as accessible as possible for everyone, no matter where they are.

This has been a big decision for us, and we hope it goes a long way to expanding adoption. After all, privacy loves company, and your use of NymVPN increases the anonymity of everyone.

If you were a NymVPN Early Bird, we're thinking of you! 🙏Check out the blog for more details.

NymVPN now accepts $ADA (Cardano)! Looking forward to more collabs with Blink Labs and Midnight Network.
