Your NymVPN server choice affects connection speed, privacy level, and content access. NymVPN uses two connection points that you select independently: an Entry node (where your traffic enters the network) and an Exit node (where it reaches the open internet).
NymVPN uses two types of connection points: Entry and Exit nodes.
Entry: This is the first server your traffic connects to. सर्वोत्तम प्रदर्शन के लिए, किसी निकटवर्ती देश या ऐसे देश को चुनें जो मजबूत डेटा प्राइवेसी कानूनों के लिए जाना जाता हो—जैसे स्विट्जरलैंड या आइसलैंड।
-
Exit: This is the server that connects to the websites or services you're trying to access. अपनी आवश्यकताओं के आधार पर इस स्थान का चयन करें (उदाहरण के लिए, क्षेत्र-विशिष्ट कंटेंट को अनब्लॉक करने या प्राइवेसी में सुधार करने के लिए)।
How to choose the right country
For privacy: Select Entry and Exit nodes in countries with strong data protection laws. Switzerland, Iceland, and EU countries offer the most robust legal protections for internet traffic.
For streaming and geo-restricted content: Set your Exit node to the country where the content is available. For example, set Exit to the United States to access US-only streaming libraries.
Countries like China use sophisticated internet filtering systems like the Great Firewall of China that can block VPN traffic and restrict access to global websites. India has also expanded its internet censorship policies in recent years, which may affect your connection when using Indian exit nodes.
For censorship resistance: Avoid Exit nodes in countries with strict internet filtering such as China, Iran, or Russia. These countries may block or degrade your connection. If you are located in a censored region, connect your Entry node to the nearest unrestricted country.
For general browsing: Set the Entry node to your nearest available country for the best speed. Set the Exit node to any country without heavy internet regulation.
