NymVPN is a Swiss VPN with a fast WireGuard mode and a slower mixnet mode that adds noise to your traffic. It takes crypto and cash, but there's no free plan, and the only price we could read is the 1-year plan. - **Value for money: C.** $4.00 a month on the 1-year plan ($48 up front), just over the cheaper quarter's $3.99. The page crosses out $96 and shows no end date for the 50% off, and the other terms weren't readable. - **Free plan and trial: D.** A 7-day trial, but only on select plans with a card, it needs a payment method, and it can't be started with crypto. No free plan. - **Features: C.** WireGuard mode, a mixnet mode, an ad blocker on every plan, bridges for blocked networks and 10 devices. The listing names a gap: it isn't supported on Android TV. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. It's an app you install and connect, though the mixnet mode is slower and you pick between two modes. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. No API or integrations on record, and no Android TV app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from NymVPN's own pages on 12 November 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 18 of the 27 other VPNs grade higher. It costs $48 a year. NymVPN is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could make: Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
