What is a Mysterium Node?

A Mysterium node is a great way to earn passive income while helping to make the web more accessible, anonymous and decentralized. 

Nodes are devices, such as your Raspberry Pi or computer, which help power and maintain Mysterium’s VPN and proxy network.  Anyone around the world can download the software and run a node, which acts as a safe and private access point to the web. 

Individuals or businesses then pay to connect to your node, which provides them with a VPN or proxy service, access to the open internet and a secure line of communication.

Nodes are paid for the amount of traffic or bandwidth served through their device, measured in gigabytes. 

You can run Mysterium's node software on Mac, Linux, Windows, DAppNode, AVADO and Raspberry Pi. Other hardware options coming soon.

What will my node be used for?

Our business and research partners access the node network for various purposes like market research, SEO monitoring, aggregating flight prices and deals, and even cybersecurity.

We also work with VPN services so everyday people around the world may connect to your node to access local content such as streaming services, social media, Wikipedia or simply enhance their privacy. 

MystNodes does not collect any user data itself and only needs your email, IP and payout wallet address, in order to connect your node to the network.
