Creating a New Nym

Freedom® lets you create multiple nyms, each of which can be used for different online activities. You can create up to three (3) standard nyms or any number of premium nyms.

Note: Premium nyms have a fixed lifespan and must be extended when they expire. Standard nyms are extended automatically.

To create a new nym:

1.Open the Nym List and click Create a nym.

The Nym Creation Wizard appears.

2.Select a nym type (standard or premium) and click Next.

3.Type your nym's name in the Name text box.

4.Click the arrows to select your nym's icon.

5.Drag the Network Security slider to the desired level of Internet security you want to use for your nym.

This step applies only if you are creating a premium services nym.

6.Click Next.

If the nym name is unavailable, Freedom suggests a list of alternate names. Select one of the suggested names or type a new name.

After Freedom creates the nym, it displays the nym's expiry date and suggests that you create a backup nym file.

7.Click Next and follow the instructions to create the backup file, then click Finish.
