To start using traffic routing, make sure that the device you want to route traffic through meets the following criteria:
The NordVPN app is running, and the Meshnet feature is enabled in the app.
The device is connected to your Meshnet.
The Traffic routing through your device permission is granted for your client device. To learn more, see Traffic routing permissions.
Note
You can add devices to your Meshnet in two ways, depending on device ownership:
To add your own device, just enable Meshnet on that device. See Using Meshnet on Android TV for details.
To add an external device, send an invitation via the NordVPN app with the owner's email. Ensure the invitation is accepted. See Adding external Meshnet devices on Android TV.
To start routing traffic on Android TV, follow these steps:
Open NordVPN and navigate to the Meshnet tab.
Under Traffic routing, select the device you want to route traffic through.
Upon establishing the connection, the host device's card will change color to green. Additionally, the card's title will change from "Connect" to "Disconnect".
Additionally, in the upper-left corner, you will see a green "Routing traffic via Meshnet" status accompanied by the host device's Nord name and your new IP address.
To stop traffic routing, you can use the following methods:
On the Home tab, select the Routing via Meshnet card.
On the Meshnet tab, under Traffic routing, select the host device's card.
