On Windows, NymVPN is two parts: the app (the interface) and the daemon (which handles networking). A "daemon not connected" error means the two aren't talking, so nothing can connect. These steps fix it in almost every case.
Step 1: confirm the app can't reach the daemon
A red dot in the top-left of the app, or a "daemon not connected" message, means the app and daemon aren't connected.
Крок 2: запустіть службу-daemon вручну
Open Services (services.msc) from the Start menu, find the NymVPN service, right-click it, and choose Start or Restart. Or from an administrator PowerShell:
Restart-Service -Name "Служба NymVPN"Step 3: if the service won't start
This usually happens after the app was force-closed from Task Manager, which also stops the Windows service. NymVPN restarts itself automatically, but Windows limits how many times it will retry, and after repeated force-kills it stops trying until the counter resets (about a day) or you clear it. From an administrator PowerShell:
sc.exe скинути налаштування «NymVPN Service»Then start the service again (Step 2). Tip: avoid force-quitting NymVPN from Task Manager; exit from the system tray or restart your device instead.
Крок 4: переінсталюйте додаток
If it persists, uninstall and reinstall NymVPN (keep your 24-word access code handy to sign back in). See How to uninstall NymVPN on Windows?

Пов’язані запитання
Що саме таке daemon?
A background service that does all the network work: connecting to the Nym network, routing traffic, and managing the tunnel. The app is just its control panel.
Чи означає ця помилка, що у мене стався витік трафіку?
Ні. If the daemon isn't connected, the VPN simply isn't running; the error blocks connections rather than exposing them.
