This is a NYM Exit Gateway
+ + ++ You are most likely accessing this website because you've had some issue with + the traffic coming from this IP. This router is part of the NYM project, which is + dedicated to create outstanding + privacy software that is legally compliant without sacrificing integrity or + having any backdoors. + This router IP should be generating no other traffic, unless it has been + compromised. +
+ ++ If you are a representative of a company who feels that this router is being + used to violate the DMCA, please be aware that this machine does not host or + contain any illegal content. Also be aware that network infrastructure + maintainers are not liable for the type of content that passes over their + equipment, in accordance with DMCA + "safe harbor" provisions. In other words, you will have just as much luck + sending a takedown notice to the Internet backbone providers. +
+ ++ Nym Network is operated by a decentralised community of node operators + and stakers. Nym Network is trustless, meaning that no parts of the system + nor its operators have access to information that might compromise the privacy + of users. Nym software enacts a strict principle of data minimisation and has + no back doors. The Nym mixnet works by encrypting packets in several layers + and relaying those through a multi-layered network called a mixnet, eventually + letting the traffic exit the Nym mixnet through an exit gateway like this one. + This design makes it impossible for a service to know which user is connecting to it, + since it can only see the IP-address of the Nym exit gateway: +

+ +Read more about how Nym works.
+ ++ Nym relies on a growing ecosystem of users, developers and researcher partners + aligned with the mission to make sure Nym software is running, remains usable + and solves real problems. While Nym is not designed for malicious computer + users, it is true that they can use the network for malicious ends. This + is largely because criminals and hackers have significantly better access to + privacy and anonymity than do the regular users whom they prey upon. Criminals + can and do build, sell, and trade far larger and more powerful networks than + Nym on a daily basis. Thus, in the mind of this operator, the social need for + easily accessible censorship-resistant private, anonymous communication trumps + the risk of unskilled bad actors, who are almost always more easily uncovered + by traditional police work than by extensive monitoring and surveillance anyway. +
+ ++ In terms of applicable law, the best way to understand Nym is to consider it a + network of routers operating as common carriers, much like the Internet + backbone. However, unlike the Internet backbone routers, Nym mixnodes do not + contain identifiable routing information about the source of a packet and do + mix the user internet traffic with that of other users, making communications + private and protecting not just the user content but the metadata + (user's IP address, who the user talks to, when, where, from what device and + more) and no single Nym node can determine both the origin and destination + of a given transmission. +
+ ++ As such, there is nothing the operator of this Exit Gateway can do to help you + track the connection further. This Exit Gateway maintains no logs of any of the + Nym Network, so there is little that can be done to trace either legitimate or + illegitimate traffic and most importantly the operator cannot tell apart one from + the other because of the cryptography design making such selection impossible + for the operator. Attempts to seize this router will accomplish nothing. +
+ ++ To decentralise and enable privacy for a broad range of services, this + Exit Gateway adopts an Exit Policy + serving as a safeguard. +
+ ++ That being said, if you still have a complaint about the router, you may email the + maintainer. If complaints are related to a particular service that is being abused, + the maintainer will submit that to the NYM Operators Community in order to add it to the Exit Policy cited above. + The community governance can only blacklist entire IP:port destinations across the entire network. +
+ ++ You also have the option of blocking this IP address and others on the Nym network if you so desire. + The Nym project provides a + web service to fetch a list of all IP addresses of Nym Gateway Exit nodes that allow exiting to a + specified IP:port combination. Please be considerate when using these options. +
