# Network protection

Using various solutions, such as firewalls or ad-blockers, to increase your network security is today a common practice. The more difficult it is for third parties to gain access to your information, the better.

While most people focus on protecting their home network, they tend to lessen their internet security measures while on the go. After all, it is more tedious to set up remotely usable software. In addition, some of the available solutions can be expensive.

By incorporating the [Meshnet private network](https://nordvpn.com/meshnet/private-network/) into your network security practices, you can link your devices together using encrypted network tunnels. This allows you to use your home network solutions remotely because the devices can easily access each other.

In this section, you can find articles with instructions on how different network protection methods can be used over Meshnet.
