.SH "MESHNET"
.P
NordVPN's Meshnet is a type of virtual network that allows multiple devices to connect and communicate with one another directly, even when they are located in different parts of the world. Meshnet makes it possible for people to access resources and services on each other's devices securely and privately. It eliminates the need for firewall configurations and overcomes CGNAT limitations, assigning each device a unique Meshnet IP.
