LuCI Web Interface

The NymVPN LuCI app provides a browser-based interface for managing your VPN connection.

Accessing the Interface

Navigate to your router's IP (typically http://192.168.1.1) and click NymVPN in the navigation menu.

Status Overview

The main view shows:

• Connection status ring — animated indicator (green = connected, pulsing = connecting, gray = disconnected)
• Connection uptime — time since the tunnel was established
• Mixnet hop chain — visual representation of your traffic path through entry and exit gateways

Cards

Tunnel Settings

Configure tunnel behavior:

• IPv6 — enable or disable IPv6 support (on/off)
• Two-Hop Mode — toggle between 2-hop (faster) and 5-hop mixnet routing (on/off)
• Kill-Switch — enforce firewall rules and default route (on/off). Disable for Policy-Based Routing (PBR) compatibility. Shows a warning when disabled. Requires reconnect to take effect.
