“Nym Technologies builds the world's most private VPN and mixnet infrastructure, using decentralization, zero-knowledge proofs, and noise-generating mixnet technology to protect user metadata and identity.”
“NymVPN is fundamentally different than all VPNs on the market in that it can provide genuine anonymity for users. Almost all VPNs are centralized, which means they are capable of [logging user traffic records](https://nym.com/blog/vpns-no-logs-policy) and remain vulnerable to network surveillance and data leaks.”
“A VPN functions as a proxy for your connection with the public web: all your traffic flows through server(s) (or "hops") by the VPN company before accessing a web connection. But most VPNs are centralized insofar as your traffic passes through a single server where it remains vulnerable.”
“The large majority of free VPNs do not protect users’ privacy and often are designed to undermine it. The companies offering free VPN services make their money at the expense of users, including [selling metadata records to third parties](https://nym.com/blog/what-are-data-brokers), inserting advertising into web traffic, or allowing third parties to install [cookie trackers](https://nym.com/blog/what-are-cookies) on the software of users.”
