* Increased default connection buffer size to help with packet bursts * Informing remote about failure to establish connection * Properly closing outbound proxy on failure to read from socket * Split proxy runner into separate inbound and outbound files * Flag indicating whether socks client actually started proxying * Clearing stale proxies if other side is closed * Decreased log level on not a warning * Closing proxy if no messages were received in a while * Dont print harmless false-positive errors * Formatting + future notes * Fixed packet delay in higher volume traffic * Don't attempt writing empty messages to connection
The Nym Privacy Platform
This repository contains the Nym mixnet.
The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level executable binary crates include:
- nym-mixnode - shuffles Sphinx packets together to provide privacy against network-level attackers.
- nym-client - an executable which you can build into your own applications. Use it for interacting with Nym nodes.
- nym-socks5-client - a Socks5 proxy you can run on your machine, and use with existing applications
- nym-gateway - acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages, removing the need for directly delivery to potentially offline or firewalled devices.
- nym-network-monitor - sends packets through the full system to check that they are working as expected, and stores node uptime histories as the basis of a rewards system ("mixmining" or "proof-of-mixing").
- nym-explorer - a (projected) block explorer and (existing) mixnet viewer.
Building
Platform build instructions are available on our docs site.
Developing
There's a .env.sample-dev file provided which you can rename to .env if you want convenient logging, backtrace, or other environment variables pre-set. The .env file is ignored so you don't need to worry about checking it in.
