+    - `enable WireGuard? (yes/no):` if you chose yes, find your private key and wireguard IP [here](https://nymvpn.com/en/alpha)

-### Daemon
+To run `nym-vpn-cli` again, reconnect your wifi, move to the directory of your CLI binary `cd ~/nym-vpn-cli-dir` and follow the guide for [Linux](cli-linux.md#run-nymvpn) or [MacOS](cli-mac.md#run-nymvpn). If you find it too difficult, just run this script again - like in step \#3 above.

-Start the daemon with
-
-```sh
-sudo -E ./nym-vpnd
-```
-
-Then run
-
-```sh
-./nym-vpnc status
-./nym-vpnc connect
-./nym-vpnc disconnect
-```
-
-### CLI
-
-An alternative to the daemon is to run the `nym-vpn-cli` commandline client that runs in the foreground.
-```sh
-./nym-vpn-cli run
-```
-
-## Credentials
-
-NymVPN uses [zkNym bandwidth credentials](https://nymtech.net/docs/bandwidth-credentials.html). Those can be imported as a file or base58 encoded string.
-
-
-```sh
-sudo -E ./nym-vpn-cli import-credential --credential-path </PATH/TO/freepass.nym>
-sudo -E ./nym-vpn-cli import-credential --credential-data "<STRING>"
-```
-
-## Debian package for Debian/Ubuntu/PopOS
-
-For linux platforms using deb packages and systemd, there are also debian packages.
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install ./nym-vpnd_<!-- cmdrun ../../../scripts/cmdrun/nym_vpn_cli_version.sh -->-1_amd64.deb ./nym-vpnc_<!-- cmdrun ../../../scripts/cmdrun/nym_vpn_cli_version.sh -->-1_amd64.deb
-
-# In case of error please substitute the correct version
-```
-
-Installing the `nym-vpnd` deb package starts a `nym-vpnd.service`. Check that the daemon is running with
-```sh
-systemctl status nym-vpnd.service
-```
-and check its logs with
-```sh
-sudo journalctl -u nym-vpnd.service -f
-```
-To stop the background service
-```sh
-systemctl stop nym-vpnd.service
-```
-It will start again on startup, so disable with
-```sh
-systemctl disable nym-vpnd.service
-```
-
-Interact with it with `nym-vpnc`
-```sh
-nym-vpnc status
-nym-vpnc connect
-nym-vpnc disconnect
-```
-

- `--exit-gateway-id`: paste one of the values labeled with a key `"identityKey"` (without `" "`)
- `--exit-router-address`: paste one of the values labeled with a key `"address"` (without `" "`)
- `--enable-wireguard`: Enable the wireguard traffic between the client and the entry gateway. NymVPN uses Mullvad libraries for wrapping `wireguard-go` and to setup local routing rules to route all traffic to the TUN virtual network device
- `--wg-ip`: The address of the wireguard interface, you can get it [here](https://nymvpn.com/en/alpha)
- `--private-key`: get your private key for testing purposes [here](https://nymvpn.com/en/alpha)
- `--enable-two-hop` is a faster setup where the traffic is routed from the client to Entry Gateway and directly to Exit Gateway (default is 5-hops)
-
-**Advanced options**
-
- `-c` is a path to an enviroment config, like [`sandbox.env`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/develop/envs/sandbox.env)
- `--enable-poisson`: Enables process rate limiting of outbound traffic (disabled by default). It means that NymVPN client will send packets at a steady stream to the Entry Gateway. By default it's on average one sphinx packet per 20ms, but there is some randomness (poisson distribution). When there are no real data to fill the sphinx packets with, cover packets are generated instead.
- `--ip` is the IP address of the TUN device. That is the IP address of the local private network that is set up between local client and the Exit Gateway.
- `--mtu`: The MTU of the TUN device. That is the max IP packet size of the local private network that is set up between local client and the Exit Gateway.
- `--disable-routing`: Disable routing all traffic through the VPN TUN device.

-Users can switch to 2-hop only mode, which is a faster but less private option. In this mode traffic is only sent between the two Gateways, and is not passed between Mix Nodes. It uses Mixnet Sphinx packets with shorter, fixed routes, which improve latency, but doesn't offer the same level of protection as the 5 hop mode.

 Below are listed some points which may need to be addressed when testing NymVPN alpha. If you crashed into any errors which are not listed, please contact us at the testing workshop or in the NymVPN [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/#NymVPN:nymtech.chat).

-#### NymVPN attempts to connect to sandbox testnet
-
-If you testing the latest versions and you correctly expect the client to run over the mainnet, but it listens to `https://sandbox-nym-api1.nymtech.net`, it's probably because of your previous configuration.
-
-Check your `config.toml` either in the directory from which you run your client or in `~/.config/nym-vpn/` and remove `sandbox.env` from the config file and folder.
-
-If the problem persists (probably due to some locally cache) download [`mainnet.env`](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/blob/master/envs/mainnet.env) and save it to the same directory.
-
 #### Running GUI failed due to `TOML parse error`

 If you see this error when running NymVPN alpha desktop, it's because the older versions needed entry location in `config.toml` configuration file. From `v0.0.3` the entry location is selected directly by the user in the application. This error is due to an old `app-data.toml` config in your computer.

-### Is there an explorer for Nym Mixnet?
-
-Yes, there are several places, some are built by Nym core community:
-
-* [Nym Explorer](https://explorer.nymtech.net/)
-* [Guru Explorer](https://mixnet.explorers.guru/)
-* [ExploreNYM](https://explorenym.net/)
-
-### Which VPS providers would you recommend?
-
-Consider in which jurisdiction you reside and where do you want to run a Mix Node. Do you want to pay by crypto or not and what are the other important particularities for your case? We always recommend operators to try to choose smaller and decentralised VPS providers over the most known ones controlling a majority of the internet. We receive some good feedback on these: Linode, Gandi, Flokinet and Exoscale. Do your own research and share with the community.
-
-### Why is a node setup on a self-hosted machine so tricky?
-
-We don't recommend this setup because it's really difficult to get a static IP and route IPv6 traffic.
-
-### What's the Sphinx packet size?
-
-The sizes are shown in the configs [here](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/blob/1ba6444e722e7757f1175a296bed6e31e25b8db8/common/nymsphinx/params/src/packet_sizes.rs#L12) (default is the one clients use, the others are for research purposes, not to be used in production as this would fragment the anonymity set). More info can be found [here](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/blob/4844ac953a12b29fa27688609ec193f1d560c996/common/nymsphinx/anonymous-replies/src/reply_surb.rs#L80).

-Ath this point the most crutial component needed are [Exit Gateways](../legal/exit-gateway.md).
-
-### Are Nym Nodes whitelisted?
-
-Nope, anyone can run a Nym Node. whether your node is chosen to mix is purely reliant on the node's performance and reputation (self stake + delegations).

-# Nym Nodes related Frequently Asked Questions
-
-### What determines the rewards when running a `nym-node --mode mixnode`?
-
-The stake required for a Mix Node to achieve maximum rewards is called Mix Node saturation point. This is calculated from the staking supply (all circulating supply + part of unlocked tokens). The target level of staking is to have 40% of the staking supply locked in Mix Nodes.
-
-The node stake saturation point, which we denote by Nsat, is given by the stake supply, target level of staking divided between the rewarded nodes.
-
-This design ensures the nodes aim to have a same size of stake (reputation) which can be done by delegation staking, as well as it secures a whale prevention and decentralization of staking, as any higher level of delegated $NYM than Nsat per node results in worsening reward ratio. On the contrary, the more Mix Nodes are active, the lower is Nsat. The equilibrium is reached when the staked tokens are delegated equally across the active Mix nodes and that's our basis for this incentive system.

-### Why some Nyx blockchain operations take one hour and others are instant?

-Whatever is defined as [a pending epoch event](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/blob/b07627d57e075b6de35b4b1a84927578c3172811/common/cosmwasm-smart-contracts/mixnet-contract/src/pending_events.rs#L35-L103) will get resolved at the end of the current epoch.

-
-### Can I run a validator?
-
-We are currently working towards building up a closed set of reputable validators. You can ask us for coins to get in, but please don't be offended if we say no - validators are part of our system's core security and we are starting out with people we already know or who have a solid reputation.
-
-### Why is validator set entry whitelisted?
-
-We understand that the early days of the Nyx blockchain will face possible vulnerabilities in terms of size - easy to disrupt or halt the chain if a malicious party entered with a large portion of stake. Besides that, there are some legal issues we need to address before we can distribute the validator set in a fully permissions fashion.
-
-### Why does Nym do airdrops?
-
-It is part of ensuring decentralisation - we need to avoid a handful of people having too much control over the token and market. Of course ideally people will stake the tokens and contribute to the project at this stage. We run surveys to better understand what people are doing with their tokens and what usability issues there are for staking. Any feedback is appreciated as it helps us improve all aspects of using the token and participating in the ecosystem.

+## Overview
+
+### What is project Smoosh?
+
+As we shared in our blog post article [*What does it take to build the wolds most powerful VPN*](https://blog.nymtech.net/what-does-it-take-to-build-the-worlds-most-powerful-vpn-d351a76ec4e6), project Smoosh is:  
+
+> A nick-name by CTO Dave Hrycyszyn and Chief Scientist Claudia Diaz for the work they are currently doing to “smoosh” Nym Nodes so that the same operator can serve alternately as Mix Node, Gateway or VPN node. This requires careful calibration of the Nym token economics, for example, only nodes with the highest reputation for good quality service will be in the VPN set and have the chance to earn higher rewards.
+> By simplifying the components, adding VPN features and supporting new node operators, the aim is to widen the geographical coverage of nodes and have significant redundancy, meaning plenty of operators to be able to meet demand. This requires strong token economic incentives as well as training and support for new node operators.

 Generally, the software will be the same, just instead of multiple binaries, there will be one Nym Node (`nym-node`) binary. Delegations will remain on as they are now, per our token economics (staking, saturation etc)

 As each operator can choose what roles their nodes provide, the nodes which work as open Gateways will have higher rewards because they are the most important to keep up and stable. Besides that the operators of Gateways may be exposed to more complication and possible legal risks.

 ### Are there any legal concerns for the operators?

-So far the general line is that running a Gateway is not illegal (unless you are in Iran, China, and a few other places) and due to encryption/mixing less risky than running a normal VPN node. For Mix Nodes, it's very safe as they have "no idea" what packets they are mixing.

 This document presents an initiative to further support Nym’s mission of allowing privacy for everyone everywhere. This would be achieved with the support of Nym node operators operating Gateways and opening these to any online service. Such setup needs a **clear policy**, one which will remain the **same for all operators** running Nym nodes. The [proposed **Exit policy**](https://nymtech.net/.wellknown/network-requester/exit-policy.txt) is a combination of two existing safeguards: [Tor Null ‘deny’ list](https://tornull.org/) and [Tor reduced policy](https://tornull.org/tor-reduced-reduced-exit-policy.php).
