Can providers see my traffic?

Mysterium node encrypts traffic that is routed through a node therefore no traffic is visible on the provider side.

Can providers see my IP address?

Providers are able to see your IP address within the node logs without any associated traffic information.

Can users see my IP address?

When users connect to your node, your IP address becomes theirs, giving them a broader access to online services available at your geographical location.

If you have any questions please check our FAQ section or send us an e-mail ([email protected]) and we will make sure to get back to you with an answer.
