  • What is token migration? Can I send old MYST to an exchange?
    Migrating a token is simply upgrading the smart contract of that token (its “standard”). In the case of Mysterium, we are upgrading our ERC-20 token to include the ERC-721 token functionality. This is a 1:1 token migration so there will be no new tokens created. You should not send MYST tokens that have not been migrated to an exchange. Make sure to migrate your tokens before sending them on to exchanges. See the MYST token migration guide for step by step instructions on how to migrate your tokens.
  • What if I'm a Binance user?
    This is the cheapest way to get some MYST if you're Binance user. If you have Binance, but don't have Bittrex account, and don't want to pay high transaction fees on Ethereum network, then you can follow these steps: 1. Buy the amount of MATIC tokens you'd like to trade for MYST. 2. Install Metamask (or use Trezor / Ledger hardware wallet if you need additional security). 3. Configure it to worth with Polygon chain (use this guide if you need) 4. Withdraw your MATIC into your wallet address generated by MataMask. Don't forget to choose Polygon (not Ethereum) in the Binance withdrawal interface. 5. Go to QuickSwap and swap your MATIC to MYST. NOTE: Don't forget to leave 1 MATIC for yourself to cover future Polygon tx fees.
  • How do I store my MYST?
    MYST is an ERC-20 token and can be stored in any Ethereum wallet (MyEtherWallet, Metamask, Ledger, Trezor, etc). MYST is also compatible with the ERC-721 token standard. MYST is also compatible with Binance Smart Chain and Polygon.
  • How do I buy MYST?
    See the "Where to find MYST" section on this page, or find a full list also on CoinMarketCap. MYST is available on Bittrex Global, HitBTC, Uniswap V3 (Ethereum), PancakeSwap (Binance Smart Chain) and QuickSwap (Polygon). Token holders can transfer MYST between the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks using this guide. You can then start trading on PancakeSwap. Token holders can also transfer MYST beteween the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, so you can trade on QuickSwap. Check out this guide.
  • Do I need MYST?
    All nodes will receive their payments in MYST. MYST can be manually converted into your cryptocurrency of choice. Beyond its use as a transfer of value, MYST is a representation of your active involvement and intention to participate within Mysterium Network. In this way, MYST enables more than just P2P payments. When network actors have “skin in the game” they help increase the overall security of the network, protecting against various types of attacks. It also establishes a community around a purpose, so the network can grow and evolve with its token holders.
  • What is MYST token?
    MYST is a type of cryptocurrency known as a utility token. This means it serves a specific purpose as a native digital currency within a particular network or platform. In this instance, MYST enables peer-to-peer (p2p) transactions within the Mysterium Network. For example, one of the use cases is to enable a p2p VPN. Instead of paying a regular VPN service to unblock websites and apps, you can use MYST to pay people around the world when you connect to their IP address.
  • Why use cryptocurrency?
    Just like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, MYST tokens are censorship-resistant and pseudo-anonymous by default. Instead of regular fiat money, where governments control the supply, a cryptocurrency acts like universal internet cash. It is borderless and nationless, as it can be ‘minted’, owned and used by anyone. Cryptocurrencies have helped forge new online communities, like Mysterium. Peers within a distributed network like ours can easily share resources with each other, such as storage, computing power and even internet accessibility. Cryptocurrency provides a way for all these participants to interact and trade with one another without trusting each other and without third parties being involved (permissionless). In this way, we can leverage cryptocurrency to enable fast, cheap and anonymous transactions between these peers.

  • What's the criteria for my IP address?
    You can run a node with dynamic IP, it does not have to be static. However, only 1 node per IP address is allowed. We do not support multiple devices under a single internet line. Having multiple nodes will likely to affect your internet connection quality as well as reduce service stability. Each node must be linked to a different residential IP address, so unless you have multiple routers, each with their own IP and node linked to it, it's not possible. Residential = IP in people’s homes. Non-residential = Data center, college or business IP.
  • What fees do node runners pay?
    The network takes a 20% service fee. This is the only fee charged by Mysterium, which is used to continue building, maintaining and improving the service. It’s purpose is similar to other peer-to-peer platforms, like Uber or AirBnB. However, in this case it’s our smart-contract automating the pay outs and fees. Without a percentage cut, the node network must maintained by a team voluntarily (for free), which means quality would go down and general network growth very slow. Note that you will also pay blockchain transaction fees when you withdraw your earnings “on-chain”, though if you do this using a Layer 2 such as Polygon, you should only pay very little (cents at a time). During the BETA period of our Tokenomics 2.0, network fees are being distributed as rewards to MYST token holders who stake in the Mysterium Delegation Pool. You can learn more about that here.
  • What is MystNodes.com?
    This is where all the magic happens. Through your personal MystNodes.com dashboard, you can create a node runner account, connect your node to your IP address ("claim it"), access your node’s information, track your performance, and see your monthly earnings. Create an account at MystNodes.com
  • How can I maximize my earning potential?
    1 - Don’t enable the only “whitelisted traffic option” if you’re not based in the following countries: Canada, U.S., UK, Italy, Australia, Germany or India. 2 - Have a strong and stable internet connection. 3 - Run your node 24/7; some user sessions can be very long and if you are disconnected from a client, they will be reconnected to a more competitive node, which means losing that client. 4 - Double-check your configuration and ensure users can access your node. 5 - When users have discovered your node, bookmark it as a favourite. Note that prices will be set based on a supply and demand algorithm for each region. The algorithm will assess the node type, which considers factors such as region, IP location (residential / non-residential), and quality. It could be compared to Uber’s surge pricing, where demand determines price based on the availability of the network. Note that Mysterium isn’t particularly demanding of your CPU, it cares more about bandwidth. If you’re not getting traffic, it could be because your node is poorly configured E.g. Your router is blocking Mysterium traffic, which you’ll need to correct by downloading the Mysterium VPN app and check the connection.
  • How can I get support as a node?
    There are plenty of ways to get support: 1. In-app 2. Through our Discord server at https://discord.com/invite/n3vtSwc 3. Through email at help@mysterium.network 4. Through Intercom chat on our website
  • How do we protect node runners?
    Whitelisting We have a whitelisting option available which we recommend to nodes from certain regions (e.g. UK, US, DE) who would like extra protection. This function allows traffic from known sources, however, may result in lower earnings. Exit node guidance There is always some risk when running a node, as is the case with Tor, which has been around for 10 years. You can enable whitelisted traffic and there will be no chance for someone to do anything illegal (like torrenting, accessing illegal websites, etc.) but in some regions you’ll not have any issue if someone accesses torrent websites. If you don’t select the whitelisting option, you increase your risk factor but with it, significantly increase your earning potential. Please make sure you’re up to date with the regulations in your country. https://docs.mysterium.network/legal/ For those who have a greater technological understanding of how to run an exit node safely and protect the privacy of their node running activities from ISPs, this will be a viable option. Please read our guide on running an exit node: https://dvpnalliance.org/exit-node/ For everyday users, it’s best to select the whitelisting option.
  • How do I run a Mysterium Node?
    The easiest way is to get set up with mystnodes.com The onboarding wizard will walk you through every step, depending on your device. You can also follow the tutorials at https://docs.mysterium.network/ If you have AVADO box: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/avado/ You also can run node on Windows, Linux or Mac through Docker: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/docker/ For Raspberry Pi: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/raspberry-pi/ And for Linux (not Docker): https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/linux/ There is an opportunity to run a node on a mobile device, depending on if your mobile provider provides CGNAT or not. If it does, then it's not possible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
  • What is whitelisted traffic?
    We have a whitelisting option available which we recommend to nodes from certain regions (e.g. UK, US, DE) who would like extra protection. This function allows traffic from known sources, however, may result in lower earnings. Whitelisted traffic is a technology built by Mysterium that only allows pre-approved traffic from “known” sources to pass through your node. This means you’ll have no problems if someone tries to do anything illegal, because they will not be able to. For those who have a greater technological understanding of how to run an exit node safely and protect the privacy of their node running activities from ISPs, this will be a viable option. Please read our guide on running an exit node: https://dvpnalliance.org/exit-node/ For everyday users, it’s best to select the whitelisting option.
  • What is a Mysterium Node?
    Nodes are devices, such as an AVADO box, Raspberry Pi or computer, which help power and maintain our distributed network. Most of the internet you pay for goes to waste, sitting idle or completely unused. Peers within a distributed network like ours can easily share these excess internet resources with each other, such as storage, computing power, bandwidth and IP addresses. Any user of the network can pay to connect to your node, providing them with a VPN service, access to the open internet and a secure line of communication. Nodes replace the traditional role of a server. You can run Mysterium's node software on Mac, Linux, Windows, AVADO and Raspberry Pi. Head to My.Mysterium.Network to get onboarded in a few steps.
  • Can nodes see my traffic?
    Mysterium encrypts all traffic that is routed through a node, and therefore no traffic is visible on the provider side. However - it holds with the same potential as Tor, which is that an exit node could potentially see traffic if a user is looking at unencrypted sites (eg. A site without HTTPS). The person running the exit node would have to have a sophisticated understanding and tools in order to do this, so it’s not a huge concern for network users.
  • Do you plan on adding multi-hop routing?
    At the moment, all nodes are exit nodes. This is where the whitelisting option comes into play. We are exploring the possibility to add relay nodes with a traffic slicing option. This will allow nodes to only accept traffic from certain domains they choose, such as blogging, social media or streaming sites (ie. Netflix).
  • Does Mysterium VPN work in China?
    Yes, we’re very happy that our VPN works in China so we can support the community there. But this is a constant cat and mouse game, and sometimes we are blocked yet again. However, we will continue refining our bypassing techniques. We actually have a pretty nice article for you to read about this.
  • What is Mysterium VPN?
    Mysterium VPN is a permissionless, peer-to-peer VPN. It's Mysterium's flagship product and showcases the potential of our residential IP network. Access anything, anywhere, anytime Our network is blind to borders. Select any IP you like from our global list and get unlimited access to worldwide content. Over 135 countries and 11,000 IPs to choose from. Trustless technology Direct payments between consumers and service providers are settled immediately. We’re also open source, so you can pop by and poke your head in any time you like. No centralised logs It’s technologically impossible for us to store logs centrally. Traffic is distributed across our global network of residential IPs. Pay as you go Using our micropayments system, Hermes Protocol, you only pay for the gigabytes you actually use. Multiple payment options, and no subscriptions or locked in contracts – just minute-by-minute payments.
  • My VPN app is frozen - what should I do?
    Try the following: 1) Close the app and open it again; 2) Reboot/restart your phone (turn off/turn on) and computer; 3) Delete the app and reinstall it again.
  • How is Mysterium VPN different from regular VPNs?
    A decentralized VPN is peer to peer, meaning instead of paying a business for your VPN connection, you pay every day people around the world who rent out their IP address to you. You will see a global list of IP addresses to choose from, with over 135 countries. You can even customise your connect based on the type of activity you want eg. browsing, streaming, downloading. You pay nodes for the minutes you are connected and amount of traffic served through the node. On a technical level, it mimics the architecture of Tor more closely, but has the same ease of use as a VPN. Unlike Tor network, all of your internet activity is encrypted (not just a single browser). Traffic is encrypted with the WireGuard protocol, the highest industry standard available.
  • How do I pay for Mysterium VPN?
    Our VPN is fully pay-as-you-go, so you only pay for the gigabytes you actually use. No subscriptions, no monthly fees – just minute-by-minute payments. Pay with PayPal, Google Pay, debit/credit card or a range of cryptocurrencies.
  • How do you encrypt the network?
    We encrypt the network with WireGuard protocol, the highest standard available industry-wide. While both decentralised VPNs and Tor both leverage node networks, Tor’s main goal and purpose is to offer anonymity. Mysterium's goal is about censorship-resistance and unblocking content. Tor uses a different encryption method, functioning more similarly to an encrypted proxy, which means that not all traffic from your computer is going via the Tor network. As an encrypted browser, it’s only what you’re browsing or accessing through the browser that is protected (Tor essentially protects its own browser). With a dVPN, we use VPN tunnels. This means you’re protected when you’re accessing apps, browsing content, encrypted messaging services etc. All your internet traffic is going via an encrypted VPN tunnel using UDP communication protocol. Tor is using TCP, which is slower - sometimes up to 10 times slower!
  • What is Mysterium Network?
    Mysterium is a permissionless protocol and network to liberate the web and all its information. We made some tools which allow you to browse the internet freely and earn by sharing your connection. You can also build censorship-resistant applications. The network itself is made up of residential and non-residential IPs as exit nodes, spread across more than 135 countries globally. It's used by everyday users and businesses looking for networking and unblocking solutions. We want to enable secure access into an open internet for everyone by building technology that makes the internet blind to borders.
  • What can you build on Mysterium Network?
    Though there are many more, these are the first use cases which have already shown promise and will be a major focus in the short-term: VPNs and DPNs. With new and existing commercial applications that can plug into our node network, creating a truly borderless web experience. ‍ Enterprise-level proxy services and data mining. A new proxy protocol has been developed for unblocking corporate censorship, allowing projects to scrape the web at a fraction of current costs. By removing these centralised middlemen, we can bring even more value to our node runners. ‍ Third-party Integrations. Mysterium has developed easy tooling and APIs for major Web2 and Web3 platforms, which could be utilised by browsers, search engines, cryptocurrency wallets and streaming services, bringing our unblockable tech to everyone though the applications we already use. See our Developer and Docs pages for more inspiration and details.
  • How does MYST work in Mysterium Network?
    MYST is a type of cryptocurrency known as a utility token. This means it serves a specific purpose as a native digital currency within a particular network or platform. MYST is the native utility token at the heart of Mysterium and poweres our payemnts smart contracts. It allows you to make fast and cheap micropayments for peer-to-peer VPN services. You can also stake your MYST tokens to the Mysterium Delegation Pool, to earn rewards. For more FAQs, check out the Token page.

  • PRIVACY POLICY & NO-LOGS PLEDGE
    Effective date: May 22, 2020 Netsys Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the Mysterium network (the “Network”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of data when you use the Network and the choices you have associated with that data. This Privacy Policy applies only if and to the extent we process the data in relation to the Network. This Privacy Policy supplements our Terms of Use /link/ (“ToU”) and is an integral part of it. If any provisions of the Privacy Policy and the ToU cannot be read in any manner other than a one that produces an irreconcilable conflict between them, the provisions of this Privacy Policy shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our ToU. A. NO-LOGS PLEDGE We will not collect any information or store any logs about your browsing activity, queries, data destinations, IP addresses or timestamps. We are based in a jurisdiction (Panama) which laws do not require us to retain any of such data. The only information we collect in connection to your use of the Network is the information listed in this Privacy Policy below. Additionally, as we provide the Network by creating virtual tunnels through one or more connections to other users of the Network (i.e. the Nodes, as defined in the ToU) and by using their equipment and resources to route you to your destination, it is not technically possible for us monitor your activities in the Network. In addition to our no-logs pledge this creates an additional layer of privacy for you. Having said this we feel that it is our obligation to inform you that the Network cannot guarantee 100% privacy. We enter into binding legal agreements with our users who run the nodes in the Network to prevent them from logging and storing the traffic which passes their nodes, but we cannot promise they will not. If the applicable law requires us to disclose your data, we will be forced to do so; however, as we collect and store just minimal data which does not allow to identify you (see below), the impact of such disclosure on your privacy will be minimal. B. ANONYMOUS DATA To use the Network you need to create a public / private key pair. Your public key will be passed to us to register you with the Network. Note, that this public key will not include any of your personal data and you cannot be identified by it. When you use the Network we may collect minimal information on how the Network is used and whether the connection was successful. However, this information is anonymous and cannot identify you and we use it to develop and maintain the Network. C. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to, posting on our website, or by electronic or conventional mail, or by any other means by which you obtain notice thereof. Any use of the Network after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of such changes, modifications or additions. D. CONTACT US If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us by email: support@netsys.technology
  • 7. Our Role
    We do not encourage, support and contribute to illegal activities and we are resolved to keep the Network operating legally and to protect you. To this end, we enter into binding agreements with the Users by which they undertake to use the Network only for legal purposes; however, we have no technical possibility to monitor and control their activities on the Network and cannot guarantee that the Users will comply. Although we strongly believe that you should not be liable for the traffic which passes through your Node, you accept, agree and fully understand that we cannot guarantee that no illegal or criminal traffic passes in or through the Network and that you will never face any legal liability. In the case you will obtain any inquiries from legal authorities about your participation in the Program or face an official investigation related to the use of your resources by the User using the Network, we are free to take a decision to provide you with any help and assistance, including legal advice, that we might find necessary or suitable in the specific situation. If you need our help or advice, please contact us immediately at team@netsys.technology
  • 14. Miscellaneous
    You agree to comply with all applicable export laws and restrictions and regulations and agree that you will not export, or allow the export or re-export of the Network or any part of it in violation of the Applicable Law. The Terms constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Panama, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You agree that any legal action arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be filed exclusively in the competent courts of the Republic of Panama. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import. You agree that these Terms and our rights hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part, by us or our affiliate to any third party, at our sole discretion, including an assignment in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of substantially all of our assets, or otherwise, in whole or in part.

  • PRIVACY POLICY & NO-LOGS PLEDGE
    Effective date: May 22, 2020 Netsys Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the Mysterium network (the “Network”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of data when you use the Network and the choices you have associated with that data. This Privacy Policy applies only if and to the extent we process the data in relation to the Network. This Privacy Policy supplements our Terms of Use (“ToU”) and is an integral part of it. If any provisions of the Privacy Policy and the ToU cannot be read in any manner other than a one that produces an irreconcilable conflict between them, the provisions of this Privacy Policy shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our ToU. A. NO-LOGS PLEDGE We will not collect any information or store any logs about your browsing activity, queries, data destinations, IP addresses or timestamps. We are based in a jurisdiction (Panama) which laws do not require us to retain any of such data. The only information we collect in connection to your use of the Network is the information listed in this Privacy Policy below. Additionally, as we provide the Network by creating virtual tunnels through one or more connections to other users of the Network (i.e. the Nodes, as defined in the ToU) and by using their equipment and resources to route you to your destination, it is not technically possible for us monitor your activities in the Network. In addition to our no-logs pledge this creates an additional layer of privacy for you. Having said this we feel that it is our obligation to inform you that the Network cannot guarantee 100% privacy. We enter into binding legal agreements with our users who run the nodes in the Network to prevent them from logging and storing the traffic which passes their nodes, but we cannot promise they will not. If the applicable law requires us to disclose your data, we will be forced to do so; however, as we collect and store just minimal data which does not allow to identify you (see below), the impact of such disclosure on your privacy will be minimal. B. ANONYMOUS DATA To use the Network you need to create a public / private key pair. Your public key will be passed to us to register you with the Network. Note, that this public key will not include any of your personal data and you cannot be identified by it. When you use the Network we may collect minimal information on how the Network is used and whether the connection was successful. However, this information is anonymous and cannot identify you and we use it to develop and maintain the Network. C. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to, posting on our website, or by electronic or conventional mail, or by any other means by which you obtain notice thereof. Any use of the Network after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of such changes, modifications or additions. D. CONTACT US If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us by email: support@netsys.technology

  • What is token migration? Can I send old MYST to an exchange?
    Migrating a token is simply upgrading the smart contract of that token (its “standard”). In the case of Mysterium, we are upgrading our ERC-20 token to include the ERC-721 token functionality. This is a 1:1 token migration so there will be no new tokens created. You should not send MYST tokens that have not been migrated to an exchange. Make sure to migrate your tokens before sending them on to exchanges. See the MYST token migration guide for step by step instructions on how to migrate your tokens.
  • What if I'm a Binance user?
    This is the cheapest way to get some MYST if you're Binance user. If you have Binance, but don't have Bittrex account, and don't want to pay high transaction fees on Ethereum network, then you can follow these steps: 1. Buy the amount of MATIC tokens you'd like to trade for MYST. 2. Install Metamask (or use Trezor / Ledger hardware wallet if you need additional security). 3. Configure it to worth with Polygon chain (use this guide if you need) 4. Withdraw your MATIC into your wallet address generated by MataMask. Don't forget to choose Polygon (not Ethereum) in the Binance withdrawal interface. 5. Go to QuickSwap and swap your MATIC to MYST. NOTE: Don't forget to leave 1 MATIC for yourself to cover future Polygon tx fees.
  • How do I store my MYST?
    MYST is an ERC-20 token and can be stored in any Ethereum wallet (MyEtherWallet, Metamask, Ledger, Trezor, etc). MYST is also compatible with the ERC-721 token standard. MYST is also compatible with Binance Smart Chain and Polygon.
  • How do I buy MYST?
    See the "Where to find MYST" section on this page, or find a full list also on CoinMarketCap. MYST is available on Bittrex Global, HitBTC, Uniswap V3 (Ethereum), PancakeSwap (Binance Smart Chain) and QuickSwap (Polygon). Token holders can transfer MYST between the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks using this guide. You can then start trading on PancakeSwap. Token holders can also transfer MYST beteween the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, so you can trade on QuickSwap. Check out this guide.
  • Do I need MYST?
    All nodes will receive their payments in MYST. MYST can be manually converted into your cryptocurrency of choice. Beyond its use as a transfer of value, MYST is a representation of your active involvement and intention to participate within Mysterium Network. In this way, MYST enables more than just P2P payments. When network actors have “skin in the game” they help increase the overall security of the network, protecting against various types of attacks. It also establishes a community around a purpose, so the network can grow and evolve with its token holders.
  • What is MYST token?
    MYST is a type of cryptocurrency known as a utility token. This means it serves a specific purpose as a native digital currency within a particular network or platform. In this instance, MYST enables peer-to-peer (p2p) transactions within the Mysterium Network. For example, one of the use cases is to enable a p2p VPN. Instead of paying a regular VPN service to unblock websites and apps, you can use MYST to pay people around the world when you connect to their IP address.
  • Why use cryptocurrency?
    Just like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, MYST tokens are censorship-resistant and pseudo-anonymous by default. Instead of regular fiat money, where governments control the supply, a cryptocurrency acts like universal internet cash. It is borderless and nationless, as it can be ‘minted’, owned and used by anyone. Cryptocurrencies have helped forge new online communities, like Mysterium. Peers within a distributed network like ours can easily share resources with each other, such as storage, computing power and even internet accessibility. Cryptocurrency provides a way for all these participants to interact and trade with one another without trusting each other and without third parties being involved (permissionless). In this way, we can leverage cryptocurrency to enable fast, cheap and anonymous transactions between these peers.

  • What's the criteria for my IP address?
    You can run a node with dynamic IP, it does not have to be static. However, only 1 node per IP address is allowed. We do not support multiple devices under a single internet line. Having multiple nodes will likely to affect your internet connection quality as well as reduce service stability. Each node must be linked to a different residential IP address, so unless you have multiple routers, each with their own IP and node linked to it, it's not possible. Residential = IP in people’s homes. Non-residential = Data center, college or business IP.
  • What fees do node runners pay?
    The network takes a 20% service fee. This is the only fee charged by Mysterium, which is used to continue building, maintaining and improving the service. It’s purpose is similar to other peer-to-peer platforms, like Uber or AirBnB. However, in this case it’s our smart-contract automating the pay outs and fees. Without a percentage cut, the node network must maintained by a team voluntarily (for free), which means quality would go down and general network growth very slow. Note that you will also pay blockchain transaction fees when you withdraw your earnings “on-chain”, though if you do this using a Layer 2 such as Polygon, you should only pay very little (cents at a time). During the BETA period of our Tokenomics 2.0, network fees are being distributed as rewards to MYST token holders who stake in the Mysterium Delegation Pool. You can learn more about that here.
  • What is MystNodes.com?
    This is where all the magic happens. Through your personal MystNodes.com dashboard, you can create a node runner account, connect your node to your IP address ("claim it"), access your node’s information, track your performance, and see your monthly earnings. Create an account at MystNodes.com
  • How can I maximize my earning potential?
    1 - Don’t enable the only “whitelisted traffic option” if you’re not based in the following countries: Canada, U.S., UK, Italy, Australia, Germany or India. 2 - Have a strong and stable internet connection. 3 - Run your node 24/7; some user sessions can be very long and if you are disconnected from a client, they will be reconnected to a more competitive node, which means losing that client. 4 - Double-check your configuration and ensure users can access your node. 5 - When users have discovered your node, bookmark it as a favourite. Note that prices will be set based on a supply and demand algorithm for each region. The algorithm will assess the node type, which considers factors such as region, IP location (residential / non-residential), and quality. It could be compared to Uber’s surge pricing, where demand determines price based on the availability of the network. Note that Mysterium isn’t particularly demanding of your CPU, it cares more about bandwidth. If you’re not getting traffic, it could be because your node is poorly configured E.g. Your router is blocking Mysterium traffic, which you’ll need to correct by downloading the Mysterium VPN app and check the connection.
  • How can I get support as a node?
    There are plenty of ways to get support: 1. In-app 2. Through our Discord server at https://discord.com/invite/n3vtSwc 3. Through email at help@mysterium.network 4. Through Intercom chat on our website
  • How do we protect node runners?
    Whitelisting We have a whitelisting option available which we recommend to nodes from certain regions (e.g. UK, US, DE) who would like extra protection. This function allows traffic from known sources, however, may result in lower earnings. Exit node guidance There is always some risk when running a node, as is the case with Tor, which has been around for 10 years. You can enable whitelisted traffic and there will be no chance for someone to do anything illegal (like torrenting, accessing illegal websites, etc.) but in some regions you’ll not have any issue if someone accesses torrent websites. If you don’t select the whitelisting option, you increase your risk factor but with it, significantly increase your earning potential. Please make sure you’re up to date with the regulations in your country. https://docs.mysterium.network/legal/ For those who have a greater technological understanding of how to run an exit node safely and protect the privacy of their node running activities from ISPs, this will be a viable option. Please read our guide on running an exit node: https://dvpnalliance.org/exit-node/ For everyday users, it’s best to select the whitelisting option.
  • How do I run a Mysterium Node?
    The easiest way is to get set up with mystnodes.com The onboarding wizard will walk you through every step, depending on your device. You can also follow the tutorials at https://docs.mysterium.network/ If you have AVADO box: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/avado/ You also can run node on Windows, Linux or Mac through Docker: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/docker/ For Raspberry Pi: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/raspberry-pi/ And for Linux (not Docker): https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/linux/ There is an opportunity to run a node on a mobile device, depending on if your mobile provider provides CGNAT or not. If it does, then it's not possible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
  • What is whitelisted traffic?
    We have a whitelisting option available which we recommend to nodes from certain regions (e.g. UK, US, DE) who would like extra protection. This function allows traffic from known sources, however, may result in lower earnings. Whitelisted traffic is a technology built by Mysterium that only allows pre-approved traffic from “known” sources to pass through your node. This means you’ll have no problems if someone tries to do anything illegal, because they will not be able to. For those who have a greater technological understanding of how to run an exit node safely and protect the privacy of their node running activities from ISPs, this will be a viable option. Please read our guide on running an exit node: https://dvpnalliance.org/exit-node/ For everyday users, it’s best to select the whitelisting option.
  • What is a Mysterium Node?
    Nodes are devices, such as an AVADO box, Raspberry Pi or computer, which help power and maintain our distributed network. Most of the internet you pay for goes to waste, sitting idle or completely unused. Peers within a distributed network like ours can easily share these excess internet resources with each other, such as storage, computing power, bandwidth and IP addresses. Any user of the network can pay to connect to your node, providing them with a VPN service, access to the open internet and a secure line of communication. Nodes replace the traditional role of a server. You can run Mysterium's node software on Mac, Linux, Windows, AVADO and Raspberry Pi. Head to My.Mysterium.Network to get onboarded in a few steps.
  • Can nodes see my traffic?
    Mysterium encrypts all traffic that is routed through a node, and therefore no traffic is visible on the provider side. However - it holds with the same potential as Tor, which is that an exit node could potentially see traffic if a user is looking at unencrypted sites (eg. A site without HTTPS). The person running the exit node would have to have a sophisticated understanding and tools in order to do this, so it’s not a huge concern for network users.
  • Do you plan on adding multi-hop routing?
    At the moment, all nodes are exit nodes. This is where the whitelisting option comes into play. We are exploring the possibility to add relay nodes with a traffic slicing option. This will allow nodes to only accept traffic from certain domains they choose, such as blogging, social media or streaming sites (ie. Netflix).
  • Does Mysterium VPN work in China?
    Yes, we’re very happy that our VPN works in China so we can support the community there. But this is a constant cat and mouse game, and sometimes we are blocked yet again. However, we will continue refining our bypassing techniques. We actually have a pretty nice article for you to read about this.
  • What is Mysterium VPN?
    Mysterium VPN is a permissionless, peer-to-peer VPN. It's Mysterium's flagship product and showcases the potential of our residential IP network. Access anything, anywhere, anytime Our network is blind to borders. Select any IP you like from our global list and get unlimited access to worldwide content. Over 135 countries and 11,000 IPs to choose from. Trustless technology Direct payments between consumers and service providers are settled immediately. We’re also open source, so you can pop by and poke your head in any time you like. No centralised logs It’s technologically impossible for us to store logs centrally. Traffic is distributed across our global network of residential IPs. Pay as you go Using our micropayments system, Hermes Protocol, you only pay for the gigabytes you actually use. Multiple payment options, and no subscriptions or locked in contracts – just minute-by-minute payments.
  • My VPN app is frozen - what should I do?
    Try the following: 1) Close the app and open it again; 2) Reboot/restart your phone (turn off/turn on) and computer; 3) Delete the app and reinstall it again.
  • How is Mysterium VPN different from regular VPNs?
    A decentralized VPN is peer to peer, meaning instead of paying a business for your VPN connection, you pay every day people around the world who rent out their IP address to you. You will see a global list of IP addresses to choose from, with over 135 countries. You can even customise your connect based on the type of activity you want eg. browsing, streaming, downloading. You pay nodes for the minutes you are connected and amount of traffic served through the node. On a technical level, it mimics the architecture of Tor more closely, but has the same ease of use as a VPN. Unlike Tor network, all of your internet activity is encrypted (not just a single browser). Traffic is encrypted with the WireGuard protocol, the highest industry standard available.
  • How do I pay for Mysterium VPN?
    Our VPN is fully pay-as-you-go, so you only pay for the gigabytes you actually use. No subscriptions, no monthly fees – just minute-by-minute payments. Pay with PayPal, Google Pay, debit/credit card or a range of cryptocurrencies.
  • How do you encrypt the network?
    We encrypt the network with WireGuard protocol, the highest standard available industry-wide. While both decentralised VPNs and Tor both leverage node networks, Tor’s main goal and purpose is to offer anonymity. Mysterium's goal is about censorship-resistance and unblocking content. Tor uses a different encryption method, functioning more similarly to an encrypted proxy, which means that not all traffic from your computer is going via the Tor network. As an encrypted browser, it’s only what you’re browsing or accessing through the browser that is protected (Tor essentially protects its own browser). With a dVPN, we use VPN tunnels. This means you’re protected when you’re accessing apps, browsing content, encrypted messaging services etc. All your internet traffic is going via an encrypted VPN tunnel using UDP communication protocol. Tor is using TCP, which is slower - sometimes up to 10 times slower!
  • What is Mysterium Network?
    Mysterium is a permissionless protocol and network to liberate the web and all its information. We made some tools which allow you to browse the internet freely and earn by sharing your connection. You can also build censorship-resistant applications. The network itself is made up of residential and non-residential IPs as exit nodes, spread across more than 135 countries globally. It's used by everyday users and businesses looking for networking and unblocking solutions. We want to enable secure access into an open internet for everyone by building technology that makes the internet blind to borders.
  • What can you build on Mysterium Network?
    Though there are many more, these are the first use cases which have already shown promise and will be a major focus in the short-term: VPNs and DPNs. With new and existing commercial applications that can plug into our node network, creating a truly borderless web experience. ‍ Enterprise-level proxy services and data mining. A new proxy protocol has been developed for unblocking corporate censorship, allowing projects to scrape the web at a fraction of current costs. By removing these centralised middlemen, we can bring even more value to our node runners. ‍ Third-party Integrations. Mysterium has developed easy tooling and APIs for major Web2 and Web3 platforms, which could be utilised by browsers, search engines, cryptocurrency wallets and streaming services, bringing our unblockable tech to everyone though the applications we already use. See our Developer and Docs pages for more inspiration and details.
  • How does MYST work in Mysterium Network?
    MYST is a type of cryptocurrency known as a utility token. This means it serves a specific purpose as a native digital currency within a particular network or platform. MYST is the native utility token at the heart of Mysterium and poweres our payemnts smart contracts. It allows you to make fast and cheap micropayments for peer-to-peer VPN services. You can also stake your MYST tokens to the Mysterium Delegation Pool, to earn rewards. For more FAQs, check out the Token page.

  • PRIVACY POLICY & NO-LOGS PLEDGE
    Effective date: May 22, 2020 Netsys Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the Mysterium network (the “Network”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of data when you use the Network and the choices you have associated with that data. This Privacy Policy applies only if and to the extent we process the data in relation to the Network. This Privacy Policy supplements our Terms of Use /link/ (“ToU”) and is an integral part of it. If any provisions of the Privacy Policy and the ToU cannot be read in any manner other than a one that produces an irreconcilable conflict between them, the provisions of this Privacy Policy shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our ToU. A. NO-LOGS PLEDGE We will not collect any information or store any logs about your browsing activity, queries, data destinations, IP addresses or timestamps. We are based in a jurisdiction (Panama) which laws do not require us to retain any of such data. The only information we collect in connection to your use of the Network is the information listed in this Privacy Policy below. Additionally, as we provide the Network by creating virtual tunnels through one or more connections to other users of the Network (i.e. the Nodes, as defined in the ToU) and by using their equipment and resources to route you to your destination, it is not technically possible for us monitor your activities in the Network. In addition to our no-logs pledge this creates an additional layer of privacy for you. Having said this we feel that it is our obligation to inform you that the Network cannot guarantee 100% privacy. We enter into binding legal agreements with our users who run the nodes in the Network to prevent them from logging and storing the traffic which passes their nodes, but we cannot promise they will not. If the applicable law requires us to disclose your data, we will be forced to do so; however, as we collect and store just minimal data which does not allow to identify you (see below), the impact of such disclosure on your privacy will be minimal. B. ANONYMOUS DATA To use the Network you need to create a public / private key pair. Your public key will be passed to us to register you with the Network. Note, that this public key will not include any of your personal data and you cannot be identified by it. When you use the Network we may collect minimal information on how the Network is used and whether the connection was successful. However, this information is anonymous and cannot identify you and we use it to develop and maintain the Network. C. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to, posting on our website, or by electronic or conventional mail, or by any other means by which you obtain notice thereof. Any use of the Network after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of such changes, modifications or additions. D.

Although we strongly believe that you should not be liable for the traffic which passes through your Node, you accept, agree and fully understand that we cannot guarantee that no illegal or criminal traffic passes in or through the Network and that you will never face any legal liability. In the case you will obtain any inquiries from legal authorities about your participation in the Program or face an official investigation related to the use of your resources by the User using the Network, we are free to take a decision to provide you with any help and assistance, including legal advice, that we might find necessary or suitable in the specific situation.

  • What is token migration? Can I send old MYST to an exchange?
    Migrating a token is simply upgrading the smart contract of that token (its “standard”). In the case of Mysterium, we are upgrading our ERC-20 token to include the ERC-721 token functionality. This is a 1:1 token migration so there will be no new tokens created. You should not send MYST tokens that have not been migrated to an exchange. Make sure to migrate your tokens before sending them on to exchanges. See the MYST token migration guide for step by step instructions on how to migrate your tokens.
  • What if I'm a Binance user?
    This is the cheapest way to get some MYST if you're Binance user. If you have Binance, but don't have Bittrex account, and don't want to pay high transaction fees on Ethereum network, then you can follow these steps: 1. Buy the amount of MATIC tokens you'd like to trade for MYST. 2. Install Metamask (or use Trezor / Ledger hardware wallet if you need additional security). 3. Configure it to worth with Polygon chain (use this guide if you need) 4. Withdraw your MATIC into your wallet address generated by MataMask. Don't forget to choose Polygon (not Ethereum) in the Binance withdrawal interface. 5. Go to QuickSwap and swap your MATIC to MYST. NOTE: Don't forget to leave 1 MATIC for yourself to cover future Polygon tx fees.
  • How do I store my MYST?
    MYST is an ERC-20 token and can be stored in any Ethereum wallet (MyEtherWallet, Metamask, Ledger, Trezor, etc). MYST is also compatible with the ERC-721 token standard. MYST is also compatible with Binance Smart Chain and Polygon.
  • How do I buy MYST?
    See the "Where to find MYST" section on this page, or find a full list also on CoinMarketCap. MYST is available on Bittrex Global, HitBTC, Uniswap V3 (Ethereum), PancakeSwap (Binance Smart Chain) and QuickSwap (Polygon). Token holders can transfer MYST between the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks using this guide. You can then start trading on PancakeSwap. Token holders can also transfer MYST beteween the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, so you can trade on QuickSwap. Check out this guide.
  • Do I need MYST?
    All nodes will receive their payments in MYST. MYST can be manually converted into your cryptocurrency of choice. Beyond its use as a transfer of value, MYST is a representation of your active involvement and intention to participate within Mysterium Network. In this way, MYST enables more than just P2P payments. When network actors have “skin in the game” they help increase the overall security of the network, protecting against various types of attacks. It also establishes a community around a purpose, so the network can grow and evolve with its token holders.
  • What is MYST token?
    MYST is a type of cryptocurrency known as a utility token. This means it serves a specific purpose as a native digital currency within a particular network or platform. In this instance, MYST enables peer-to-peer (p2p) transactions within the Mysterium Network. For example, one of the use cases is to enable a p2p VPN. Instead of paying a regular VPN service to unblock websites and apps, you can use MYST to pay people around the world when you connect to their IP address.
  • Why use cryptocurrency?
    Just like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, MYST tokens are censorship-resistant and pseudo-anonymous by default. Instead of regular fiat money, where governments control the supply, a cryptocurrency acts like universal internet cash. It is borderless and nationless, as it can be ‘minted’, owned and used by anyone. Cryptocurrencies have helped forge new online communities, like Mysterium. Peers within a distributed network like ours can easily share resources with each other, such as storage, computing power and even internet accessibility. Cryptocurrency provides a way for all these participants to interact and trade with one another without trusting each other and without third parties being involved (permissionless). In this way, we can leverage cryptocurrency to enable fast, cheap and anonymous transactions between these peers.

  • What's the criteria for my IP address?
    You can run a node with dynamic IP, it does not have to be static. However, only 1 node per IP address is allowed. We do not support multiple devices under a single internet line. Having multiple nodes will likely to affect your internet connection quality as well as reduce service stability. Each node must be linked to a different residential IP address, so unless you have multiple routers, each with their own IP and node linked to it, it's not possible. Residential = IP in people’s homes. Non-residential = Data center, college or business IP.
  • What fees do node runners pay?
    The network takes a 20% service fee. This is the only fee charged by Mysterium, which is used to continue building, maintaining and improving the service. It’s purpose is similar to other peer-to-peer platforms, like Uber or AirBnB. However, in this case it’s our smart-contract automating the pay outs and fees. Without a percentage cut, the node network must maintained by a team voluntarily (for free), which means quality would go down and general network growth very slow. Note that you will also pay blockchain transaction fees when you withdraw your earnings “on-chain”, though if you do this using a Layer 2 such as Polygon, you should only pay very little (cents at a time). During the BETA period of our Tokenomics 2.0, network fees are being distributed as rewards to MYST token holders who stake in the Mysterium Delegation Pool. You can learn more about that here.
  • What is MystNodes.com?
    This is where all the magic happens. Through your personal MystNodes.com dashboard, you can create a node runner account, connect your node to your IP address ("claim it"), access your node’s information, track your performance, and see your monthly earnings. Create an account at MystNodes.com
  • How can I maximize my earning potential?
    1 - Don’t enable the only “whitelisted traffic option” if you’re not based in the following countries: Canada, U.S., UK, Italy, Australia, Germany or India. 2 - Have a strong and stable internet connection. 3 - Run your node 24/7; some user sessions can be very long and if you are disconnected from a client, they will be reconnected to a more competitive node, which means losing that client. 4 - Double-check your configuration and ensure users can access your node. 5 - When users have discovered your node, bookmark it as a favourite. Note that prices will be set based on a supply and demand algorithm for each region. The algorithm will assess the node type, which considers factors such as region, IP location (residential / non-residential), and quality. It could be compared to Uber’s surge pricing, where demand determines price based on the availability of the network. Note that Mysterium isn’t particularly demanding of your CPU, it cares more about bandwidth. If you’re not getting traffic, it could be because your node is poorly configured E.g. Your router is blocking Mysterium traffic, which you’ll need to correct by downloading the Mysterium VPN app and check the connection.
  • How can I get support as a node?
    There are plenty of ways to get support: 1. In-app 2. Through our Discord server at https://discord.com/invite/n3vtSwc 3. Through email at help@mysterium.network 4. Through Intercom chat on our website
  • How do we protect node runners?
    Whitelisting We have a whitelisting option available which we recommend to nodes from certain regions (e.g. UK, US, DE) who would like extra protection. This function allows traffic from known sources, however, may result in lower earnings. Exit node guidance There is always some risk when running a node, as is the case with Tor, which has been around for 10 years. You can enable whitelisted traffic and there will be no chance for someone to do anything illegal (like torrenting, accessing illegal websites, etc.) but in some regions you’ll not have any issue if someone accesses torrent websites. If you don’t select the whitelisting option, you increase your risk factor but with it, significantly increase your earning potential. Please make sure you’re up to date with the regulations in your country. https://docs.mysterium.network/legal/ For those who have a greater technological understanding of how to run an exit node safely and protect the privacy of their node running activities from ISPs, this will be a viable option. Please read our guide on running an exit node: https://dvpnalliance.org/exit-node/ For everyday users, it’s best to select the whitelisting option.
  • How do I run a Mysterium Node?
    The easiest way is to get set up with mystnodes.com The onboarding wizard will walk you through every step, depending on your device. You can also follow the tutorials at https://docs.mysterium.network/ If you have AVADO box: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/avado/ You also can run node on Windows, Linux or Mac through Docker: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/docker/ For Raspberry Pi: https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/raspberry-pi/ And for Linux (not Docker): https://docs.mysterium.network/node-runners/setup/linux/ There is an opportunity to run a node on a mobile device, depending on if your mobile provider provides CGNAT or not. If it does, then it's not possible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT
  • What is whitelisted traffic?
    We have a whitelisting option available which we recommend to nodes from certain regions (e.g. UK, US, DE) who would like extra protection. This function allows traffic from known sources, however, may result in lower earnings. Whitelisted traffic is a technology built by Mysterium that only allows pre-approved traffic from “known” sources to pass through your node. This means you’ll have no problems if someone tries to do anything illegal, because they will not be able to. For those who have a greater technological understanding of how to run an exit node safely and protect the privacy of their node running activities from ISPs, this will be a viable option. Please read our guide on running an exit node: https://dvpnalliance.org/exit-node/ For everyday users, it’s best to select the whitelisting option.
  • What is a Mysterium Node?
    Nodes are devices, such as an AVADO box, Raspberry Pi or computer, which help power and maintain our distributed network. Most of the internet you pay for goes to waste, sitting idle or completely unused. Peers within a distributed network like ours can easily share these excess internet resources with each other, such as storage, computing power, bandwidth and IP addresses. Any user of the network can pay to connect to your node, providing them with a VPN service, access to the open internet and a secure line of communication. Nodes replace the traditional role of a server. You can run Mysterium's node software on Mac, Linux, Windows, AVADO and Raspberry Pi. Head to My.Mysterium.Network to get onboarded in a few steps.
  • Can nodes see my traffic?
    Mysterium encrypts all traffic that is routed through a node, and therefore no traffic is visible on the provider side. However - it holds with the same potential as Tor, which is that an exit node could potentially see traffic if a user is looking at unencrypted sites (eg. A site without HTTPS). The person running the exit node would have to have a sophisticated understanding and tools in order to do this, so it’s not a huge concern for network users.
  • Do you plan on adding multi-hop routing?
    At the moment, all nodes are exit nodes. This is where the whitelisting option comes into play. We are exploring the possibility to add relay nodes with a traffic slicing option. This will allow nodes to only accept traffic from certain domains they choose, such as blogging, social media or streaming sites (ie. Netflix).
  • Does Mysterium VPN work in China?
    Yes, we’re very happy that our VPN works in China so we can support the community there. But this is a constant cat and mouse game, and sometimes we are blocked yet again. However, we will continue refining our bypassing techniques. We actually have a pretty nice article for you to read about this.
  • What is Mysterium VPN?
    Mysterium VPN is a permissionless, peer-to-peer VPN. It's Mysterium's flagship product and showcases the potential of our residential IP network. Access anything, anywhere, anytime Our network is blind to borders. Select any IP you like from our global list and get unlimited access to worldwide content. Over 135 countries and 11,000 IPs to choose from. Trustless technology Direct payments between consumers and service providers are settled immediately. We’re also open source, so you can pop by and poke your head in any time you like. No centralised logs It’s technologically impossible for us to store logs centrally. Traffic is distributed across our global network of residential IPs. Pay as you go Using our micropayments system, Hermes Protocol, you only pay for the gigabytes you actually use. Multiple payment options, and no subscriptions or locked in contracts – just minute-by-minute payments.
  • My VPN app is frozen - what should I do?
    Try the following: 1) Close the app and open it again; 2) Reboot/restart your phone (turn off/turn on) and computer; 3) Delete the app and reinstall it again.
  • How is Mysterium VPN different from regular VPNs?
    A decentralized VPN is peer to peer, meaning instead of paying a business for your VPN connection, you pay every day people around the world who rent out their IP address to you. You will see a global list of IP addresses to choose from, with over 135 countries. You can even customise your connect based on the type of activity you want eg. browsing, streaming, downloading. You pay nodes for the minutes you are connected and amount of traffic served through the node. On a technical level, it mimics the architecture of Tor more closely, but has the same ease of use as a VPN. Unlike Tor network, all of your internet activity is encrypted (not just a single browser). Traffic is encrypted with the WireGuard protocol, the highest industry standard available.
  • How do I pay for Mysterium VPN?
    Our VPN is fully pay-as-you-go, so you only pay for the gigabytes you actually use. No subscriptions, no monthly fees – just minute-by-minute payments. Pay with PayPal, Google Pay, debit/credit card or a range of cryptocurrencies.
  • How do you encrypt the network?
    We encrypt the network with WireGuard protocol, the highest standard available industry-wide. While both decentralised VPNs and Tor both leverage node networks, Tor’s main goal and purpose is to offer anonymity. Mysterium's goal is about censorship-resistance and unblocking content. Tor uses a different encryption method, functioning more similarly to an encrypted proxy, which means that not all traffic from your computer is going via the Tor network. As an encrypted browser, it’s only what you’re browsing or accessing through the browser that is protected (Tor essentially protects its own browser). With a dVPN, we use VPN tunnels. This means you’re protected when you’re accessing apps, browsing content, encrypted messaging services etc. All your internet traffic is going via an encrypted VPN tunnel using UDP communication protocol. Tor is using TCP, which is slower - sometimes up to 10 times slower!
  • What is Mysterium Network?
    Mysterium is a permissionless protocol and network to liberate the web and all its information. We made some tools which allow you to browse the internet freely and earn by sharing your connection. You can also build censorship-resistant applications. The network itself is made up of residential and non-residential IPs as exit nodes, spread across more than 135 countries globally. It's used by everyday users and businesses looking for networking and unblocking solutions. We want to enable secure access into an open internet for everyone by building technology that makes the internet blind to borders.
  • What can you build on Mysterium Network?
    Though there are many more, these are the first use cases which have already shown promise and will be a major focus in the short-term: VPNs and DPNs. With new and existing commercial applications that can plug into our node network, creating a truly borderless web experience. ‍ Enterprise-level proxy services and data mining. A new proxy protocol has been developed for unblocking corporate censorship, allowing projects to scrape the web at a fraction of current costs. By removing these centralised middlemen, we can bring even more value to our node runners. ‍ Third-party Integrations. Mysterium has developed easy tooling and APIs for major Web2 and Web3 platforms, which could be utilised by browsers, search engines, cryptocurrency wallets and streaming services, bringing our unblockable tech to everyone though the applications we already use. See our Developer and Docs pages for more inspiration and details.
  • How does MYST work in Mysterium Network?
    MYST is a type of cryptocurrency known as a utility token. This means it serves a specific purpose as a native digital currency within a particular network or platform. MYST is the native utility token at the heart of Mysterium and poweres our payemnts smart contracts. It allows you to make fast and cheap micropayments for peer-to-peer VPN services. You can also stake your MYST tokens to the Mysterium Delegation Pool, to earn rewards. For more FAQs, check out the Token page.

  • PRIVACY POLICY & NO-LOGS PLEDGE
    Effective date: May 22, 2020 Netsys Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the Mysterium network (the “Network”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of data when you use the Network and the choices you have associated with that data. This Privacy Policy applies only if and to the extent we process the data in relation to the Network. This Privacy Policy supplements our Terms of Use /link/ (“ToU”) and is an integral part of it. If any provisions of the Privacy Policy and the ToU cannot be read in any manner other than a one that produces an irreconcilable conflict between them, the provisions of this Privacy Policy shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our ToU. A. NO-LOGS PLEDGE We will not collect any information or store any logs about your browsing activity, queries, data destinations, IP addresses or timestamps. We are based in a jurisdiction (Panama) which laws do not require us to retain any of such data. The only information we collect in connection to your use of the Network is the information listed in this Privacy Policy below. Additionally, as we provide the Network by creating virtual tunnels through one or more connections to other users of the Network (i.e. the Nodes, as defined in the ToU) and by using their equipment and resources to route you to your destination, it is not technically possible for us monitor your activities in the Network. In addition to our no-logs pledge this creates an additional layer of privacy for you. Having said this we feel that it is our obligation to inform you that the Network cannot guarantee 100% privacy. We enter into binding legal agreements with our users who run the nodes in the Network to prevent them from logging and storing the traffic which passes their nodes, but we cannot promise they will not. If the applicable law requires us to disclose your data, we will be forced to do so; however, as we collect and store just minimal data which does not allow to identify you (see below), the impact of such disclosure on your privacy will be minimal. B. ANONYMOUS DATA To use the Network you need to create a public / private key pair. Your public key will be passed to us to register you with the Network. Note, that this public key will not include any of your personal data and you cannot be identified by it. When you use the Network we may collect minimal information on how the Network is used and whether the connection was successful. However, this information is anonymous and cannot identify you and we use it to develop and maintain the Network. C. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to, posting on our website, or by electronic or conventional mail, or by any other means by which you obtain notice thereof. Any use of the Network after such notice shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of such changes, modifications or additions. D.

To this end, we enter into binding agreements with the Users by which they undertake to use the Network only for legal purposes; however, we have no technical possibility to monitor and control their activities on the Network and cannot guarantee that the Users will comply. Although we strongly believe that you should not be liable for the traffic which passes through your Node, you accept, agree and fully understand that we cannot guarantee that no illegal or criminal traffic passes in or through the Network and that you will never face any legal liability. In the case you will obtain any inquiries from legal authorities about your participation in the Program or face an official investigation related to the use of your resources by the User using the Network, we are free to take a decision to provide you with any help and assistance, including legal advice, that we might find necessary or suitable in the specific situation.
