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.
- --The Nym mixnet is operated by a decentralised community of node operators -and stakers. The Nym mixnet 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 very hard for a service to know which user is connecting to it, -since it can only see the IP-address of the Nym exit gateway:

- --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 little 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 mixnet traffic, so there is little that can be done to trace either legitimate or -illegitimate traffic (or to filter one from the other). 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 -in accordance with the Tor Null ‘deny’ list -and the Tor reduced policy, -which are two established safeguards. -
- --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. -If approved, that would prevent this router from allowing that traffic to exit through it. -That can be done only on an IP+destination port basis, however. Common P2P ports are already blocked.
- --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.
