## Exit Gateways: New setup
In our previous technical setup, network requesters acted as a proxy, and only made requests that match an allow list. That was a default IP based list of allowed domains stored at Nym page in a centralised fashion possibly re-defined by any Network requester operator.

This restricts the hosts that the NymConnect app can connect to and has the effect of selectively supporting messaging services (e.g. Telegram, Matrix) or crypto wallets (e.g. Electrum or Monero). Operators of network requesters can have confidence that the infrastructure they run only connects to a limited set of public internet hosts.

Operators of Network Requesters can have confidence that the infrastructure they run only connects to a limited set of public internet hosts.
The principal change in the new configuration is to make this short allow list more permissive. Nym's [exit policy](https://nymtech.net/.wellknown/network-requester/exit-policy.txt) will restrict the hosts to which Nym Mixnet and Nym VPN users are permitted to connect. This will be done in an effort to protect the operators, as Gateways will act both as SOCKS5 Network Requesters, and exit nodes for IP traffic from Nym Mixnet VPN and VPN clients (both wrapped in the same app).
