Split tunneling (beta) for Windows

NymVPN now includes a new beta version of split tunneling on Windows: choose which apps you want to include in the NymVPN tunnel, and which you want to exclude.

⚠️This is a beta feature and is still in development. Let us know how it’s working for you.

What’s coming next for split tunneling on NymVPN

More split tunneling features are being developed for Linux and iOS for coming releases
A more advanced form of split tunneling is also being developed which will allow you to route specific apps through either the NymVPN Fast mode or Anonymous mode.

Introducing post-quantum keys for NymVPN

Nym is readying NymVPN encryption for the post-quantum future. Today we introduce the first phase of post-quantum security with a new key-exchange protocol called the Lewes Protocol for the Fast mode.

The Lewes Protocol not only improves security against post-quantum threats but also significantly improves NymVPN connection times and startup.

Read more about what the Lewes Protocol means for you.

Give it a try by simply toggling on Lewes Protocol in Settings.

⚠️The Lewes Protocol will go through a short period of testing in production for users who enable it before it is deployed as the default protocol for secure key exchange on NymVPN.

Improved secured authentication

NymVPN for macOS has introduced new privacy and safety enhancements to the secure communication between the daemon and apps. This follows recommendations by the Cure53 security audit completed in 2025, and implementations on all other apps in v2026.6.

Fixes & improvements

All apps: Fixes for social login UI
MacOS: New endpoint established for split tunneling (beta)
iOS & macOS: Improvements to app UI for notifications
Android: Improved server selection UI
