### Operators Updates & Tools
New release is here and with it a completely new theme of the docs!
<Callout type="warning" emoji="⚠️">
**This release introduces implementation of Lewes Protocol (LP). Only nodes upgraded to this version will be able to complete handshake using LP.**
**Please upgrade soon and follow the section below to ensure smooth functionality of your `nym-node`.**
</Callout>
1. **[Network Tunnel Manager (NTM)](#network-tunnel-manager-ntm-updates) is now the single port manager for WireGuard routing and Gateway Nym nodes.**
2. Lewes protocol ports (`41264/tcp` and `51264/udp`) as well as all the essential ports for mixnet operation (before `ufw`) are now included in NTM
- Follow [these steps](#network-tunnel-manager-ntm-updates) to implement changes if you run any Gateway type of Nym node
- For operators running mixnode mode, make sure to open all ports via `ufw` as [documented here](/operators/nodes/preliminary-steps/vps-setup#3-configure-your-firewall), do *not* use NTM as you nodes do *not* need all exress ports (exit policy) opened
#### Network Tunnel Manager (NTM) Updates
<Callout type="info" emoji="️">
Nym team is testing an unreleased version of [Gateway Probe](/operators/performance-and-testing/gateway-probe). This new version checks whether the ports opened align with the governance decision about exit policy. If they don't, the nodes will be taken out of Service grant program and [Delegation program](https://nym.com/network/DP).
</Callout>
NTM is now changed to be a standalone port manager for servers hosting Nym nodes running in a Gateway mode (with or without WireGuard). Operators of these nodes no longer need to manage mixnet fundamental ports by `ufw` separately, as the NTM will take care of it as well as adjusting the ports according to Nym exit policy.
**Follow these steps to update the ports setting of your server using NTM.**
<Steps>
###### 1. Download the new NTM
- Download the latest NTM and make it executable:
```sh
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/refs/heads/develop/scripts/nym-node-setup/network-tunnel-manager.sh -o ./network-tunnel-manager.sh && \
chmod +x network-tunnel-manager.sh
```
###### 2. Update the exit policy
- To ensure your routing is clean, run:
```sh
./network-tunnel-manager.sh complete_networking_configuration
```
Congratulation, your port configuration is up to date, including LP ports.
</ Steps>
### Features
- [Add LP to NS UI](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/6562): Operators can now monitor LP registration status directly from the UI. The gateway list shows post-quantum registration status via emojis (success/failure), and the dashboard view adds LP count columns for success, failure, and untested, making monitoring faster and easier.
- [Introduce /v3/unstable/nym-nodes/semi-skimmed](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/6499): New API endpoint aggregates LP information for nodes, allowing them to discover each other's LP capabilities and establish shared post-quantum connections efficiently.
- [Additional ticket for agent](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/6551): Adds an extra ticket so the agent/probe can perform LP tests automatically without additional configuration.
### Bugfix
- [LP fixes](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/6601): Improvements for LP registration results and preshared key handling to ensure accurate LP status reporting.
- [Allow deserialisation of LP data from either snake_case or lowercase](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/6586): Fixes LP data deserialization issues, making LP information robust across different formats.
### Refactors & Maintenance
- [LP improvements](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/6526): Refactors LP handling code and scaffolds internode handshake processing to simplify future maintenance and reduce potential bugs.
