Moldova node upgrades tomorrow 2:30pm UTC Europe Sep 10, 2026 This is the first of the network to get 2 new protocols. Then after internal testing, will be followed by an open source desktop client release so you can access them. And of course, find out how they are going to help you. Also when Wireguard comes back up, it will have higher throughput (faster by about 10%), but also a slightly higher jitter (drop off under quick actions). It may or may not be noticeable to you. It's an experiment. This change would be good for streaming/downloading video, neutral for web browsing, likely better for pulling from nostr relays, and slightly worse for VoIP. The biggest downside would be for competitive gaming, especially first person shooters. Let me know your feedback.

Tomorrow an Upgrade to the billing/config API is happening. When, September 8 (tomorrow) 2pm UTC EU 10am EST USA During the upgrade, Your direct wireguard or proxy connections to individual nodes would be unaffected, but if you need to request a new config or get a new profile, during this timeslot it will not work. So get any configs you need now. After the upgrade, we'll be ready to begin offering the 2 new protocol choices. But each node has to be upgraded by each individual operator over the course of time. We'll communicate with you when those individual locations will be transitioning, as well as the client release that supports the new protocols. Why? These new protocols bypass firewall restrictions by hiding that it's a VPN, and can offer better speed performance than Wireguard in some situations (especially multiple user-side hops or poor bandwidth).

Great to hear my friend

As of today's update, when you delete a HydraVeil profile, it now "respawns" your cryptographic ticket. This is the equivalent to wiping your identity, as it's giving you a new mathematically unlinkable ticket, which gets you a fresh Wireguard config. Imagine it with the metaphor of getting a refund, and then buying it with Monero again.
