Description & Contribution
Facilitated a virtual workshop titled “Nuestros cuerpos y territorios digitales”, focused on addressing cybersecurity mechanisms to combat gender-based digital violence and sharing collective protection strategies tailored for activists and community defense.
As part of the privacy tools segment, NymVPN was introduced and featured in a live technical demonstration. The walkthrough showed participants how the application operates in practice, visually demonstrating how the connection IP changes in real time using the Nym infrastructure (via nym.com tools), thereby illustrating metadata protection and traffic routing to a live audience of around 30 attendees.
