It allows you to select exactly which applications are routed through your encrypted VPN connection and which ones connect directly to your
standard internet service provider.

By launching this feature in beta for Windows, NymVPN is making it simpler to multitask. You can protect your sensitive browsing via the VPN while letting data-heavy apps, like local multiplayer games or streaming services, run unencrypted for maximum speed.

Nym notes that "This is a beta feature and is still in development," actively encouraging users to report on its real-world performance.

Looking ahead, the provider confirmed that split tunneling will soon make its way to Linux and iOS, following its recent debut on macOS .

The company also teased that "A more advanced form of split tunneling is also being developed, which will allow you to route specific apps through either the NymVPN Fast mode or Anonymous mode".

The new update introduces the first phase of post-quantum VPN security via a new key-exchange system called the Lewes Protocol . Built specifically for
the VPN's Fast mode, the protocol doesn't just defend against quantum
threats; it "significantly improves NymVPN connection times and startup," according to the company's blog post.

You can test out the Lewes Protocol by manually toggling it on within the application's settings. Nym plans to test the system in production before rolling it out as the default security standard for all secure key exchanges. Security audits and UI fixes Apple users haven't been left out of the current upgrade cycle. NymVPN's macOS client has received vital privacy enhancements to secure the communication between the app and its background daemon operations.

These improvements directly follow recommendations made during a Cure53 security audit completed in 2025.

Across the board, the new update patches user interface bugs related to
social logins and brings an improved server selection menu to Android users.
