Adding external Meshnet devices on Android

Learn how to allow other NordVPN users' devices to access your device within Meshnet on Android.

To add an external device to your Meshnet:

1. In your NordVPN app, tap the Meshnet tab and then select Manage devices.

2. Tap the Link external device button.

3. Enter the email address of the NordVPN user you're inviting to have access to your Meshnet.

4. Select the permissions you want to grant to the owner's device.

5. Tap Send invitation.

Tip

You can cancel the invitation you’ve sent while it is still pending by going to Manage devices > Invitations > Sent and tapping Cancel.

The invited user will find your invitation in their NordVPN app. To accept, they need to navigate to Manage devices > Invitations > Received, select the invitation, and tap Accept invitation.

Once the invitee accepts the invitation, their device joins your external devices list.

If the invited user has NordVPN installed on multiple devices, they need to accept the invitation on each device individually.

Note

The invitation remains active even after the other user accepts it so that they have time to accept the same invitation on each of their devices.

If not canceled sooner, invitations expire within 72 hours from the time of sending.
