To protect your identity, NymVPN doesn’t link activity to accounts or devices. Instead, when you connect to a gateway in either dVPN or mixnet mode, your device presents a cryptographic “ticket” that proves it has the right to connect, without revealing anything about you.
Each ticket comes with a data allowance, and your account is granted a pool of tickets totalling 2 TB per month. When you use one of these tickets, the full allowance attached to it is considered “spent”, regardless of how much data you actually transfer.
This means:
If you’re using a single device and stick to a few gateways, your actual data usage will likely match your allowance more closely.
If you connect from many devices or frequently rotate gateways, you’ll burn through more tickets — and appear to use your full allowance faster, even if your real data usage is lower.
The is not a hard limit, and we can always reset your monthly allowance if you reach out and share your NymVPN account ID (starting with n1) by creating a request here. We’re actively monitoring this to find the fairest balance between privacy, performance, and generous access.
