Have You Ever Just Wanted to Try to Break Something?
Well, that’s exactly what Nym needs you to help us do: push the Nym mixnet to its limits! While we don’t want you to *actually* break anything, we’re asking you to test the network rigorously—find those hidden DNS leaks, stress-test nodes, flood customer service and developer channels with error reports, and generally make things as challenging as possible for the system. This will help us identify vulnerabilities and improve the robustness of the Nym mixnet.
💡 Did you know? The NymVPN client sends "cover" or "dummy" traffic through the network. These packets mimic real traffic but are empty, adding "noise" to the network. By increasing the volume of traffic, this strategy makes it far more difficult for adversaries to track user activity. It's one of many ways Nym enhances privacy.

The longer you stay connected to the Nym mixnet, the more cover traffic you generate, helping to strengthen the network's privacy features. In return, you'll earn points and rewards!
