Windows & macOS (Exit Node Launcher)

  • The Exit Node Launcher updates automatically in the background.

  • The software checks for new versions and upgrades itself within minutes.

⚠️ If you are on an older version of the Launcher, you may need to download and install the newest version manually.
πŸ‘‰ Download the latest installer here.

Android (MystNodes app)

Updating works the same as installing the app the first time.

  • Download the latest MystNodes_provider.apk.

  • Open the file and confirm the Update prompt.

  • Wait for the installation to finish.

You can also always find the latest version on mystnodes.com.


Linux (Ubuntu / Debian)

There are two ways to update your node depending on how it was installed.

Option A: APT (recommended if installed via repository)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install myst

Option B: Manual DEB update (if repository fails)


Raspberry Pi

SSH into your Raspberry Pi:

ssh myst@<ip-of-your-raspberry>

Default password: mystberry

Then follow the same update steps as Linux:


Docker

Before updating:

  • Make sure your data is in persistent storage (like myst-data).

  • (Optional) Back up your keys.

Update steps:

docker pull mysteriumnetwork/myst 
docker rm -f myst

Then follow the Docker node guide to start a new container.

(Optional) free up space by removing unused images:

docker image prune

Automatic updates
