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?

Check out Nym’s new step-by-step guide to everything the mixnet does to anonymize your data and make you unlinkable to what you do online. There’s a lot to go through, and a lot to learn:

  • Sphinx encryption and data anonymization
  • Mixnet routing and data mixing
  • Cover traffic to anonymize the network
  • Timing obfuscation against AI surveillance
  • The role of entry and exit gateways
  • Data reassemblage
  • And return messages through SURBS
