+Dear <ISP>:
+
+Thank you for forwarding me the notice you received from <COPYRIGHT_CLAIMANT> regarding <CONTENT>. I would like to assure you that I am not hosting the claimed infringing materials, and I believe that the notice is likely based upon misunderstandings about the law and about some of the software I run.  I believe that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's ("DMCA") safe harbor provisions likely protect you from liability arising from this complaint. 
+
+As you know, the DMCA creates four "safe harbors" for service providers (such as ISPs) to protect them from copyright liability for the acts of their users, when the service provider fulfill certain requirements. (See 17 U.S.C. 512).  The requirements to meet the DMCA safe harbor provisions vary depending on the type of safe harbor claimed. 
+
+You may be familiar with the "notice and takedown" requirements of section 512(c) of the DMCA, which require a service provider respond to expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity.  However, we believe that the more appropriate safe harbor provision is under section 512(a), which applies when the service provider merely acts as a conduit. In such case, there are different and less burdensome eligibility requirements, as the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals held in RIAA v. Verizon (see https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15815830240179540527) and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed in RIAA v. Charter (see https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=11547531128234336420).
+
+Under DMCA 512(a), service providers like you are typically protected from damages for copyright infringement claims if you also maintain "a policy that provides for termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders of the service provider's system or network who are repeat infringers." If you have and implement such a policy, and you otherwise qualify for the safe harbor, you should be free from fear of copyright damages.
+
+In this case, the copyright notice you received was likely triggered by a program I run called Nym. Nym is a network software that helps users to enhance their privacy, security, and safety online.
+
+The program does not host any content. Rather, it is part of a network of nodes on the Internet that simply pass packets among themselves before sending them to their destinations, just as any Internet intermediary does. The difference is that Nym tunnels the connections such that no intermediary can learn both the source and destination of the packets, giving users protection from nefarious snooping on network traffic. The result is that, unlike most other Internet traffic, the final IP address that the recipient receives is not the IP address of the sender. Nym protects users against hazards such as harassment, spam, and identity theft. 
+
+Nym aims to improve on technology developed by Panoramix by building a decentralized authentication and payment protocol. It will enable developers to build their own sustainable privacy-enhanced services. Panoramix is an EU-funded Horizon 2020 programme with the goal of protecting communication privacy by building a comprehensive mixnet infrastructure. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Grant Agreement No 653497, "Privacy and Accountability in Networks via Optimized Randomized Mix-nets (Panoramix)” (For more on Nym, see https://www.nym.com/, For more on Panoramix, see https://panoramix.me/ .) I hope, as an organization committed to protecting the privacy of its customers, you'll agree that this is a valuable technology.
+
+While the Nym node that I run may appear to be the source of material that is alleged to be infringing, I do not host that material. I do not select the material transmitted through the Nym node that I run, and I have no practical means of either identifying the source of such material or preventing its transmission. In addition, I do nothing to encourage or promote the use of the Nym network for copyright infringement or other prohibited activities. For these reasons, I am not an infringer of copyright in any materials that are transmitted through the Nym node that I run, either directly or under a theory of contributory or vicarious liability. In addition, as you are just acting as a conduit, you should continue to be protected under the DMCA 512(a) safe harbor provision without taking any further action.
+
+Thank you for working with me on this matter. As a loyal subscriber, I appreciate your notifying me of this issue and hope that the protections of DMCA 512 put any concerns you may have to rest. If not, please contact me with any further questions.
+
+Very truly yours,
+
+Your customer, <YOUR_NAME/PSEUDONYM>

+Hi, 
+
+I am reaching out to introduce myself! I am about to spin up a machine with you to run what is called a “nym node” - think of it as somewhat similar to a Tor exit node. 
+
+You can always recognize a nym node by our domain names: nym-exit
+
+Nym node runners are a decentralized community all over the world. We provide secure internet traffic routing services to ordinary people and businesses via the Nym platform and NymVPN app. 
+
+The Nym platform implements strict encryption and security standards, which also means I simply relay traffic and do not know the end-destination nor its content. 
+
+The Nym traffic pattern is somewhat unique, as we route traffic using the “sphinx” packet format (again, think onion routing), which makes all traffic look uniform. I’d like to ensure this unique traffic pattern doesn’t raise any flags or issues with you! See https://nym.com/ for more details. 
+
+Feel free to ask any questions. 
+
+Many thanks, 
+
+<YOUR_NAME/PSEUDONYM>

 As you know by now, in order to send or receive messages over the mixnet, you'll need to use the [`SDK Client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nymproject/sdk), which will allow you to create apps that can use the Nym mixnet and Coconut credentials.
 
 This client is message based - it can only send a one-way message to another client's address.

+### Operators Updates & Tools
+
+<Callout type="info">
+From `nym-node v1.3.0` operators can technically choose multiple functionalities for their `nym-node` binary (flagged as `--mode`).
+
+**However, the clients are yet to be developed to be able to make a proper selection for multi-mode nodes!**
+
+**WE ASK OPERATORS TO ASSIGN ONLY ONE FUNCTIONALITY TO `--mode` OPTION PER NODE. PLEASE SELECT ONE MODE ARGUMENT OUT OF: `mixnode` or `entry-gateway` or `exit-gateway`!**
+</Callout>
+
+- Updated maintenance guides to [backup](nodes/maintenance#backup-a-node), [restore](nodes/maintenance#restoring-a-node) and [move](nodes/maintenance#moving-a-node) a node, containing a new and important commands to backup and restore `clients.sqlite` database.
+
+- [New explanation of `nym-node` functionalities](nodes/nym-node/setup#functionality-mode) describing how Gateways get selected in Mixnet mode and Wireguard mode. 
+
+<Callout type="warning">
+Wireguard nodes route data directly to the open internet. Therefore it exposes IP of operators server (VPS) to abuse complains. Before you decide to run a node with active wireguard routing, please read our [Community Counsel pages](community-counsel/exit-gateway) containing more information and some legal content.
+
+**Wireguard mode has no exit policy right now - we are working on the implementation.**
+</Callout>
+
+#### Legal support
+
+We have been notified that a handful of nodes have been taken down by abuse reports. We created new pages with [legal suggestions](community-counsel/legal) and email [templates](community-counsel/templates). Here are some useful points on legal support:
+
+- Here is the first version of a response template tailored for Nym operators.
+<AccordionTemplate name="Email template: responding to DMCA take-down notices">
+<AbuseResponse />
+</AccordionTemplate>
+
+- We are starting Operators Legal Clinic with Alexis Roussel, every Wednesday, 14:30 UTC (60 min) in our [Operator Legal Forum channel on Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/!YfoUFsJjsXbWmijbPG:nymtech.chat?via=nymtech.chat&via=matrix.org&via=matrix.su4ka.icu). Come and share your findigs and questions with the rest of the operators.
+
+- Join [Operator Legal Forum channel](https://matrix.to/#/!YfoUFsJjsXbWmijbPG:nymtech.chat?via=nymtech.chat&via=matrix.org&via=matrix.su4ka.icu) and share as much as possible (like screen prints, provider, location etc).
+
+- Join [Community legal counsel](https://nym.com/docs/operators/community-counsel) - our collective knowledge hub. Add your findings by opening a [Pull Request](https://nym.com/docs/operators/add-content)
+
+- While we are working on a new list of more friendly providers, consider to move away from these provides as soon as possible:
+    
+    - Servinga / VPS2day (AS39378)
+    - Frantech / Ponynet / BuyVM (AS53667)
+    - OVH SAS / OVHcloud (AS16276)
+    - Online S.A.S. / Scaleway (AS12876)
+    - Hetzner Online GmbH (AS24940)
+    - IONOS SE (AS8560)
+    - Psychz Networks (AS40676)
+    - 1337 Services GmbH / RDP.sh (AS210558)
+
+- Backup your nodes to have access to `.nym` directory locally. Follow [node](nodes/maintenance#backup-a-node) and [proxy configuration](nodes/maintenance#backup-proxy-configuration) backup guides to be able to [restore your node](nodes/maintenance#restoring-a-node) later on on another machine, without losing your delegation.  
+
+- We would like to ask operators who use reverse proxy and a domain (required for Gateways) to start using a common convention starting with `nym-exit` for their nodes URL. The entire address should have this new format:
+```
+nym-exit.<CUSTOM>.<DOMAIN>.<TLD>
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```
+# for squads running multiple nodes a format can look like this:
+nym-exit.ch-node1.mysquad.org
+
+# or like this
+nym-exit.3-jamaica.mysquad.org
+
+# for operators having one node per location, the format can look like this:
+nym-exit.brazil.mysquad.org
+
+# or if operators decide to not have any custom, they can simply have this format:
+nym-exit.mysquad.org
+```
+
+**The `NYM-EXIT` part in the beginning is what's important.**
+
+- When registering a domain, check [Top Level Domain (TLD)](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/1348/top-level-domain-tld) terms and conditions. For example `.icu` is a no go. Having a wrong TLD may lead to your domain being taken away from you when facing a DMCA report.  
+
+- Write a message to your provider and introduce your intention to run a Nym Node on their service
+<AccordionTemplate name="Email template: Introduce yourself to your VPS provider">
+<OperatorIntroduction />
+</AccordionTemplate>
+
+- New page with [templates for VPS provider](community-counsel/templates)
+
+#### Delegation Program
+
+**If you are interested to sign up to delegation program que, message Merve on Element for the time being as we are working on CRM upgrade. We review nodes dynamically and delegate to new ones once a month.** New operators interested to join DP must follow the rules specified [here](https://delegations.explorenym.net/), run one of two latest binary version and have [Terms & Conditions](nodes/nym-node/setup#terms--conditions) accepted.
+
+Note: Due to the token price we allow operators to have Operators cost 1000 NYM, the profit margin maximum remains 20%.

+#### Service Grant Program v2
+
+Aside from delegating on top of nodes, Nym runs a Service Grant Program (SGP) to support Exit Gateway operators before they will be rewarded by collecting [zk-nym tickets](../network/cryptography/zk-nym) from users subscription. Operators included in SGP are long term active community members with the highest requirements on the technical setup and upgrading pace. We are about to start a second iteration of SGP very soon (SGPv2). The final slots and locations are yet to be concluded. Priority to participate in SGPv2 will be given to the current operators in SGP. Based on the number of slots, we will then determine how many more operators can sign up. 
+
+##### Rules of SGPv2
+
+<Callout type="info">
+**We will share more info soon in the channels. The rules are not set in stone and could potentially be altered or updated in the future! Do *not* purchase new servers neither migrate your nodes just yet.**
+</Callout>
+
+As we finalising last details of *"Project Smoosh"*, where one binary - `nym-node` - can run as an `entry-gateway`, `mixnode` or `exit-gateway` in Mixnet mode as well as `entry-gateway` or `exit-gateway` in Wireguard mode, we plan to step up the game. SGPv2 grants will be higher if operators can meet new requirements. 
+
+**Minimum Specs & Requirements**
+
+These are minimum requirements to become a part of SGPv2. We aim to have nodes on dedicated servers, with exceptions for much stronger VPS to meet the needed criteria while sharing server with other users.

+
+- [`http-api-client`: deduplicate code](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5267): After adding PATCH support in [\#5260](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5260), it's now time to de-duplicate some of the code
+
+- [Add windows to CI builds](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5269)
+
+- [nym topology revamp](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5271): This PR changes the internals of the `NymTopology` to blur the lines between explicit mixnodes and gateways so that what used to be considered a "mixnode" could be a valid egress point of the network. `NymTopology` is no longer divided into `BTreeMap<MixLayer, Vec<mix::Node>>` and `Vec<gateway::Node>`. instead there's information about the current rewarded set (to support future VRF work) and a simple map of `HashMap<NodeId, RoutingNode>`. The new features are mostly controlled via 2 new flags/config values: 
+    - `use_extended_topology` that tells the client to retrieve **all** network nodes rather than the ones that got assigned "active" mixnode role (or support being a gateway)
+    - `ignore_egress_epoch_role` that tells the client it's  fine to construct egress packets to nodes that are **not** assigned entry or exit gateway role

+
+- [Periodically remove stale gateway messages](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5312): This PR introduces a simple task that removes gateway messages that haven't been retrieved in (by default) 24h.  
+<AccordionTemplate name={<TestingSteps/>}>
+**Automation Script for Data Cleanup Validation**
+
+Test Objective: Validate that the stale message cleanup mechanism in the database correctly removes records older than the configured threshold (24 hours).
+ 
+Test Setup:
+1. Environment:
+    * SQLite database
+    * Bash script: used to insert data.
+ 
+Steps Performed:
+1. Ran the insert_data.sh script to populate the database with test data:
+    * Recent records inserted successfully.
+2. Verified the database content post-insertion: sqlite3 clients.sqlite "SELECT * FROM message_store;"
+3. Confirmed that all 20 records (10 recent + 10 stale) were present.
+4. Allowed the system to run for 24 hours to trigger the cleanup mechanism.
+5. Queried the database again after 24 hours: sqlite3 gateway_storage.db "SELECT * FROM message_store;"
+6. 
+ 
+ Expected Result:
+* All stale records (older than 24 hours) should be removed.
+* Recent records should remain in the database.
+Actual Result:
+* Query after 24 hours showed only the 10 recent records.
+* All 10 stale records were successfully removed.

+- [Use expect in geodata test to give error message on failure](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5314): Keep hitting this error on CI, from what I think is network hickup. But it's hard to tell form the log since the error is swallowed.  Explicitly unwrap the result so we get a more detailed error output.
+<AccordionTemplate name={<TestingSteps/>}>
+**Quick Code Review**  
+ 
+**Summary**  
+1. **CI Workflow**: Adjusted paths to optimise build triggers, avoiding unnecessary CI runs while ensuring coverage for key directories
+2. **Geolocation Test**: Improved error handling by replacing assertions with `.expect` for clearer debugging in API regression tests
+ 
+**Conclusion**  
+
+Regression testing confirms everything works as intended. **Approved**.

+- [`CancellationToken`-based shutdowns](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5325): This PR introduces scaffolding for using `CancellationToken` and `TaskTracker` for our graceful shutdowns rather than the existing `TaskClient` and `TaskManager`. 
+
+- [Introduce `/load` endpoint for self-reported quantised Nym Node load](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/pull/5326): This PR introduces a new `/load` endpoint on a `NymNode` to return its current load. It returns the following data:
+```rust
+pub struct NodeLoad {
+    pub total: Load,
+    pub machine: Load,
+    pub network: Load,
+}
+```
+Where `Load` is quantised into the following buckets / tiers:
+```rust
+pub enum Load {
+    Negligible, // 0 - 0.1
+    Low,        // 0.1 - 0.3
+    Medium,     // 0.3 - 0.6
+    High,       // 0.6 - 0.8
+    VeryHigh,   // 0.8 - 0.95
+    AtCapacity, // >= 0.95
+}
+```
+<AccordionTemplate name={<LoadEndpointInfo/>}>
+The actual values  for`NodeLoad` are determined as follows:
+- For network we approximate current rx/tx rates on all `eth` interfaces and scale them to the range of 0-1Gbps (for this initial iteration we assume the maximum network speed is 1Gbps which would be treated as fully saturated). So for example, if the node is sending at 0.5Gbps, it would get a `Load` of 0.5 and thus value of `Load::Medium`, 0.9Gbps would get `Load` of 0.9 and value of `Load::VeryHigh`, etc. we take the bigger value between rx and tx
+- For machine load there's a bit more logic in there:
+    - Firstly we determine what I call a "base load" of the machine. we do this by taking the average load from the last 5min (via `getloadavg`) and dividing it by the number of CPUs in the machine. For example if the average load of the machine in the last 5min was `1.23` and it has 2 CPUs, then it's `Load` would be `Load::High` (`1.23 / 2 = 0.615`)
+    - However, whilst CPU utilisation is one of the most important factors, it does not tell the whole story. I tried to also take memory/swap utilisation into consideration (whilst not making it the main factor)
+    - Thus we calculate two additional auxiliary `Load` values, for memory usage and swap usage, i.e.: `used_memory / total_memory` and `used_swap / total_swap` respectively.
+    - Then we check whether either of the `MemoryLoad` or `SwapLoad` is bigger than the current base `Load` of the machine we have determined, if so, it's increased by one tier / bucket. For example, say the current machine load is `Load::Low`, but the memory usage is at 90% (`Load::VeryHigh`). that would result in the reported `Load` being bumped up to `Load::Medium` instead. The same logic applies with swap load, **however, only if the total swap > 1GB**. this is to prevent weird edge cases where the machine has hardly any swap.
+    - Finally, the `.total` `Load` uses the same "tier bumping" behaviour using the `.total` and `.network` loads, i.e. `if network > machine`, then `total = machine + 1`. for example if `machine` `Load` is `Load::Low`, but `network` `Load` is `Load::Medium`, then the `total` `Load` is set to `Load::Medium` instead.

+#### Backup your nodes
+Your only way to restore your node is when you have an access to `.nym` directory locally. Follow [node](../nodes/maintenance#backup-a-node) and [proxy configuration](../nodes/maintenance#backup-proxy-configuration) backup guides to be able to [restore your node](../nodes/maintenance#restoring-a-node) on another machine later on, without losing your delegation.  
+
+#### Use `nym-exit` prefix on your landing page URL
+We would like to ask operators to use [reverse proxy](../nodes/nym-node/configuration/proxy-configuration) with a [landing page](landing-pages). When assigning a domain please use a common convention with `nym-exit` in the beginning of the the page URL as this will create a reputation and reference. The entire address should have this new format:
+```
+nym-exit.<CUSTOM>.<DOMAIN>.<TLD>
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```
+# for squads running multiple nodes a format can look like this:
+nym-exit.ch-node1.mysquad.org
+
+# or like this
+nym-exit.3-jamaica.mysquad.org
+
+# for operators having one node per location, the format can look like this:
+nym-exit.brazil.mysquad.org
+
+# or if operators decide to not have any custom, they can simply have this format:
+nym-exit.mysquad.org
+```
+
+**The `NYM-EXIT` part in the beginning is what's important.**
+
+#### Chose the right TLD
+When registering a domain, check [Top Level Domain (TLD)](https://www.techopedia.com/definition/1348/top-level-domain-tld) terms and conditions. For example `.icu` is a no go. Having a wrong TLD may lead to your domain being taken away from you when facing a DMCA report.  
+
+#### Respond to abuse reports
+Make sure to read notifications from your account provider and if you receive an abuse report, respond to it in time. Here is a template explaining the essential legal background of Nym Node Exit Gateway. Don't forget to adjust the variables.
