Nym Exit Gateways

As a part of our mission LunarDAO aims to:

Develop infrastructure for economy and politics beyond the state, that is uncensorable, sovereign and anonymous. Expand the dark forest.

To walk the talk, we lead by an example. Our first milestone to establish such infrastructure in an anonymous and distributed fashion is to run Nym Exit Gateways.

LunarDAO Gateways

LunarDAO currently operates 15 Nym-nodes as Exit Gateways.

Connect to LunarDAO Gateways

Users and devs can channel their Mixnet connections through LunarDAO gateways either via NymVPN or SOCKS5 client.

NymVPN

NymVPN is a client routing all users traffic thorugh Nym mixnet. The CLI version (setup guide here enables users to choose any Gateway providing options --entry-gateway-id [ENTRY_GATEWAY_ID] and --exit-gateway-id [EXIT_GATEWAY_ID]. To get LunarDAO ID keys needed for this setup, choose gateways from the table above and supply the key to your command.

Nym SOCKS5 Client

LunarDAO Nym Gateways have Network Requester (NR) and Internet Packet Router (IPR) embedded and they run according to the new Nym exit policy - a combination of Tornull and Tor reduced policy - a default filter allowing users to connect to any but blacklisted IPs and ports.

To use LunarDAO Nym Exit Gateways, run your own nym-socks5-client and route it through one of our embedded NR's. Here is how:

1. Get nym-socks5-client from Nym release page.
2. Make executable: chmod u+x nym-socks5-client
3. Initialise and configure with one of our NR addresses listed in the table above.

./nym-sockc5-client init --id [ANY_NAME] --provider [USE_ONE_FROM_THE_LIST_ABOVE]

4. Run ./nym-socks5-client run --id [YOUR_ID]

Now the client should be connected to 127.0.0.1 and port 1080, drop these values to any SOCKS5 supporting app to run through the mixnet, like in this example or check out this list of supported applications.
