Routing traffic from Android TV

Learn how to handle Meshnet’s traffic routing feature on Android TV.

Before you begin

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.
