Safe
Never claims more than it covers. In proxy mode it tells you exactly which apps are covered, and which aren't.
Beta Free and open source
A VPN client that tells you plainly what it's doing.
Nunya connects you through the VPN and proxy servers you already have — a link your provider sent, a subscription of hundreds, or a WireGuard config — and tests every one of them for real.
Why Nunya
Five promises, and the app keeps each of them visibly.
Fast
Every server is tested end to end. Quick Connect takes you to the fastest, the most used or the most recent.
Reliable
A server only counts as working if traffic actually gets through. The shield turns red when nothing comes out.
Secure
No account and no telemetry. Your servers stay on your device, and the engine is a verified release.
Easy
Paste a link or a subscription, scan a QR code, and connect. That's the whole setup.
A tour of the app
Everything you need day to day, and nothing pretending to be more than it is.
Adding servers
Every kind of link, in one box.
Press + and paste whatever your provider gave you. One paste can hold several things at once, and Nunya sorts them before anything is added.
- Share links:
vless://,vmess://,trojan://,wireguard:// - Subscriptions, including Xray, sing-box and Clash configurations
- WireGuard configs, QR codes from a screenshot, or a server filled in by hand
Anything Nunya can't run yet is named, with the reason — never silently dropped.
Quick Connect
Choose by what matters this time.
- Fastest — the lowest latency among servers that passed their last test, re-tested first if the result is old.
- Most used — the server that carried the most data in the last 30 days.
- Most recent — the one you were last connected to.
Each server is located by where its traffic really exits, not by its name. Relays and CDN-fronted servers are marked as such.
In the menu bar
See the connection with the window closed.
A shield in the macOS menu bar or the Linux top bar shows the state in the status colours — green connected, amber connecting, red not working, dimmed off.
On a Mac, click it for a panel with a big on/off button, Quick Connect, a search over your configs, the Proxy / VPN switch, and the ad blocker and anti-tracker.
Usage
What each server has carried, day by day.
The last 30 days and all time, a daily chart, and for a subscription each server's share — beside what your provider reports. Counted on your device only.
Sharing
Send a server to another device.
As a link or a QR code, or as a WireGuard config the official WireGuard apps can scan. A share link holds the server's credentials, so share it only with people you'd give access to.
Bypass rules
Keep chosen traffic off the tunnel.
A domain (with or without *.), an address, or a range such as 10.0.0.0/8 leaves on your normal connection. Your local network always does.
- Ad blocker & anti-trackerRefuse ad networks and the tracking built into systems, devices and apps.
- A live mapYou, your servers, and the route your connection takes — drawn locally.
- DiagnosticsThe engine log, connection state and exact config, ready for a bug report.
- Light and darkFollows your system, like this page does by default.
Two ways to connect
Switch any time from Settings or the menu-bar panel. Nunya says which one is covering you.
Proxy mode
Opens a local SOCKS and HTTP port (2080 unless you change it). Apps you point at it go through the connection.
- No password needed
- Set system proxy points your desktop at it while connected (macOS, GNOME, KDE) and puts your own setting back exactly on disconnect
- Apps that ignore the system proxy aren't covered — and Nunya tells you so
VPN mode
Carries all of the device's traffic through the tunnel. It needs system privileges, granted once through your system's own prompt.
- macOS: your administrator password, once (again after each update). Nunya must be in Applications.
- Windows: Windows' own prompt restarts Nunya as administrator.
- Linux: your password through polkit, once (again after each update), from the
.deb,.rpmor Arch package.

Privacy, without the fine print
Nunya is free software under the GPL-3.0. You can read every line of what it does.
- No account, no telemetry, no analytics. There is nothing to sign up for.
- Your data stays on your device. Servers, subscriptions and usage live in a file only your user account can read.
- A verified engine. Nunya runs a pinned release of nunya-core, checked against its published checksums, and the app and engine verify each other.
- Honest coverage. The app only says you're protected when the whole device is in the tunnel.
- Location lookups. To place servers on the map, Nunya asks public IP-location services where your servers' addresses are. The map itself is drawn inside the app.

macOS
Apple Silicon · macOS 12 or later
- Updates itself, and never restarts on its own
- A panel in the menu bar for day-to-day use
- VPN mode after one administrator prompt
Not yet signed by an Apple Developer account — see the first-launch step.
Windows
x86-64 · Windows 10 or later

Not yet code-signed — SmartScreen may ask once. Here's what to click.
Linux
Packages for the three big families
Debian / Ubuntu.deb · x86-64
Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE.rpm · x86-64
Arch / Manjaro.pkg.tar.zst · x86-64
On ARM: arm64 .deb · aarch64 .rpm
Check your download
Every release lists a SHA-256 for each file. Put SHA256SUMS next to what you downloaded, then run the line for your system. On Windows, compare the hash it prints with the one in the file.
macOS / Linux
shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missingWindows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\Nunya_<version>_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256Install, update and remove
Pick your platform. Each step is the whole step — nothing hidden behind a link.
1Install
- Download
Nunya_<version>_aarch64.dmgand open it. - Drag Nunya into Applications. It has to live there for VPN mode to work.
- Open Nunya. The beta isn't signed by an Apple Developer account yet, so macOS stops it the first time.
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and choose Open Anyway. You only do this once.
VPN mode: the first time you connect in VPN mode, Nunya explains why and macOS asks for your administrator password. The password goes to macOS; Nunya never sees it.
2Update
- Nunya looks for a new release shortly after it starts, then every hour.
- It downloads the update and checks its signature against the key built into the app.
- When it's ready, choose Restart to update. Nunya never restarts on its own, so a connection you're using isn't dropped.
Betas are offered too, unless you turn off Beta versions under Advanced → Updates. VPN mode asks for your password once more after each update. A copy older than the first self-updating version has to be replaced by hand, once.
3Remove
- Disconnect, then quit from the menu-bar shield → Quit (closing the window leaves it running).
- Drag Nunya from Applications to the Trash. VPN mode's engine lives inside the app, so it goes too.
- Optional — to remove your servers and settings as well:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.nunyavpn.appNunya puts your own proxy setting back when it disconnects. If it was quit unexpectedly while connected, check System Settings → Network → (your network) → Details → Proxies.
1Install
- Download and run
Nunya_<version>_x64-setup.exe. - The beta isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may stop it the first time: choose More info, then Run anyway.
- Follow the installer, then start Nunya from the Start menu.
VPN mode: when you first connect in VPN mode, Windows' own prompt restarts Nunya as administrator. To skip that step each time, right-click Nunya and choose Run as administrator. Use an account that is itself an administrator, so your servers come along.
2Update
- Nunya looks for a new release shortly after it starts, then every hour.
- It downloads the update and checks its signature against the key built into the app.
- When it's ready, choose Restart to update. It never restarts on its own.
Betas are offered unless you turn off Beta versions under Advanced → Updates. You can also install a newer setup .exe over the top at any time; your servers are kept.
3Remove
- Disconnect, then quit Nunya from its tray icon → Quit.
- Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find Nunya, and choose ⋯ → Uninstall (on Windows 10: Settings → Apps → Apps & features). Tick Delete the application data in the uninstaller to remove your servers too.
- Optional — to remove your servers and settings as well, in PowerShell:
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:APPDATA\com.nunyavpn.app", "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\com.nunyavpn.app" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue1Install
Download the package for your family, then from the folder it's in:
sudo apt install ./Nunya_<version>_amd64.debsudo dnf install ./Nunya-<version>-1.x86_64.rpmsudo pacman -U nunya-<version>-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstOn ARM, use the arm64.deb instead.
On ARM, use the aarch64.rpm instead. On openSUSE, use sudo zypper install with the same file.
An AUR package, nunya-bin, will follow once AUR registration reopens.
Tray icon: needs libayatana-appindicator3, and on GNOME the AppIndicator extension. Without it there's no icon, and closing the window quits Nunya.
VPN mode: needs polkit; your system asks for your password once.
2Update
On Linux your package manager updates Nunya, not the app itself. Download the newer package and install it over the old one:
sudo apt install ./Nunya_<version>_amd64.debsudo dnf install ./Nunya-<version>-1.x86_64.rpmsudo pacman -U nunya-<version>-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstYour servers and settings are kept. VPN mode asks for your password once more after each update, since the update replaces the tunnel engine.
3Remove
Disconnect and quit Nunya, then:
sudo apt remove nunyasudo dnf remove nunyasudo pacman -R nunyaOptional — to remove your servers and settings as well:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/com.nunyavpn.appIf Nunya was quit unexpectedly while it had set the system proxy, reset it under your desktop's Settings → Network → Proxy.
Questions
Does Nunya sell a VPN service?
No. Nunya is a client: it connects you through servers you already have, from your provider or your own. It has no servers, accounts or subscriptions of its own.
Why does my system warn me when I open it?
The beta isn't signed with a paid Apple Developer account or a Windows code-signing certificate yet. Check your download against SHA256SUMS, then follow the first-launch step in the install guide.
Should I use proxy mode or VPN mode?
Proxy mode needs no password and covers apps that use the system proxy — Nunya tells you which aren't covered. VPN mode covers the whole device and asks for your system's permission once. When in doubt, use VPN mode.
Something doesn't connect. Where do I look?
Open Diagnostics — the pulse icon at the bottom of the left edge. It shows the engine's log, the connection's state, and the exact configuration the server runs with. Include it when you open an issue.
How can I support Nunya?
Donations are being set up through two channels only: Buy Me a Coffee and crypto wallets. They'll be listed in the README and the app's Support panel once they're open. Anyone asking for payment in Nunya's name anywhere else is not us.
