Everything was working fine, but now i see that on my iPhone nymVPN app thinks i have no subscription even though i do have. When i log in on pc, i see the subscription running. Also i see no connected devices listed. Is there any login server issues now ?
Hello! I am making this post so people who are looking for a new VPN can read this and decide if it's good enough for them.
I am in no way affiliated with NymVPN or anything, I don't run nodes etc. This is my honest review.
So it all started when Mullvad's CEO made the donation. I decided that I don't want to fund a far right party, so I started looking for alternatives. I was thinking of subscribing to Proton, because it has servers near me, then looked at ivpn etc. While searching, I discovered Nym, and it had literally the best pricing from all of the other ones I looked at. I also learned than it has a Fast Mode, which basically makes you only route trough 2 nodes or something. I am currently on my free trial, and have an amazing experience. I am lucky enough to have nodes near me, and the ping in most games is basically the same, if not better than Mullvad's. I highly recommend you to try it out, it works really well for me.
NYM app reports connected, but browsers and most apps have no connectivity. Sometimes it needs several disconnect/reconnect cycles before it starts working.
Checked the terminal with some scripts, and it pointed to a DNS conflict with AdGuard’s system-level DNS protection. AdGuard and NYM both try to handle DNS, which seems to cause the intermittent failure.
Disabling AdGuard DNS protection fixed it for now. I’m also almost sure this is the cause because on iOS (where I don’t have AdGuard DNS protection enabled) the issue never occurs.
Posting in case anyone else is running into a similar issue. It might be worth NYM checking how they handle system DNS filters; this doesn’t happen with other VPNs I’ve tested.
I'm thinking of trying Nym VPN.
It appears to be a solid solution. However, my concern relates to internet speed using Nym because it employs multi hop connection and multi-layer encryption! It appears to be a heavy procedure.
For those who are using it, do you perceive any internet speed drop? Can you play online games properly?
My exit IP is Luxembourg, is it normal to see all the other DNS locations such as Germany in there?
When I turn my mobile data or WiFi off, because I've got the VPN set to always on, it displays the message of "Android System - Disconnected from Always on VPN". Is there any way to fix this?
It will show Nym's app as disconnected and then the android message underneath
This is the only VPN it happens with, others just sit in the background waiting to reconnect.
I always leave my VPN on to avoid any IP leaks.
Thanks.
All the other VPNs I use just sit idle...
Hi! quick question is this will able or possible in near future? thanks
