Anyone have experience with NymVPN? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

It's one of the VPN products I saw on fdroid, but I couldn't find payment info and it says it's experimental. Has anyone tried it and have a baseline on how it is compared to other VPNs?

Also do they have payment methods? I couldn't find them last time I looked and I'm worried it's a free VPN

Sonalder explained it very well. I just want to emphasize that it's much more private than any other vpn because its impossible for Nym to keep logs.

I also want to add to his comment that it's like Tor network but a decentralized one. As there aren't as many and as fast nodes as in Tor, it's slower. Here is the owners conversation with the Youtuber The Hated One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVtw-4Eox2E
