MystNodes¶
Category: Bandwidth Sharing | Status: Active Website: https://mystnodes.com
Description¶
MystNodes (Mysterium Network) is a decentralized VPN and proxy network built on blockchain technology. You earn MYST tokens by running a node that provides VPN, proxy, and data scraping services to users. Requires NET_ADMIN capability and host networking for full functionality. Includes a built-in web UI for node management. Works on both residential and VPS connections.

Earnings in MYST tokens. Residential IPs earn significantly more. Node WebUI at port 4449 for management. VPS accepted. Important: after first run, set your beneficiary (settlement) wallet via the node WebUI or CLI to match your mystnodes.com account -- this links on-chain earnings to your cloud dashboard.
One node per public IP. Mysterium strictly enforces one active node per public IP address. Additional nodes on the same IP show as offline and earn nothing. Do not run on a phone if a Docker node is already running on the same network. Use separate public IPs (e.g. dual WAN, different locations) for additional nodes.
Port forwarding recommended. Forward UDP 56000-56100 to maximize earnings. Without this, nodes get "Strict NAT" status — many VPN/proxy sessions fail to connect, severely reducing income. Alternatives: enable UPnP on your router (Mysterium uses it automatically), or as last resort, use DMZ. The Docker image runs with
--net hostandNET_ADMINcapability.
