- 3.Turn on Meshnet.
Once you enable Meshnet on your other devices, they should connect automatically.
Meshnet allows you to add up to 10 devices that use the same NordVPN account.
To view a list of your Meshnet devices, run the following command:

- 1.Log in to your Nord account dashboard.
- 2.Navigate to NordVPN.
- 3.Under Meshnet, select See your devices:

If you want to unlink your device from Meshnet, you can use either the CLI (command-line interface) or the GUI method, as explained below.
Enter the following command, where
<device>
is the device’s Nord name or Meshnet IP address:nordvpn meshnet peer remove <device>
Example
