Quick Start

1. Import your account

Your account is a 24-word recovery phrase from the Nym wallet.

Open NymVPN, expand the Account card, paste the phrase, Login.

nym-vpnc account set "your twenty four word mnemonic phrase here"

2. Connect

Hit Connect. The status ring pulses while connecting and turns green once the tunnel is up.

nym-vpnc connect-v2
nym-vpnc status

First connect takes a few seconds longer than later ones — the daemon has to fetch the gateway directory before it can pick a pair.

3. Verify

From any LAN device:

curl ifconfig.me

The address you get back should be the exit gateway's, not your ISP's.

Pick a gateway

Gateways are auto-selected by default. To pin an exit country:

Choose entry and exit countries in the Gateway card.

nym-vpnc gateway set --exit-country CH
