# Traffic routing

Using pre-configured VPN servers can drastically improve your online security. However, in various cases, having access to your personal home IP address is beneficial. Alternatively, you may use a virtual private server (VPS) located in a different country with a specific IP address, which is required to access certain services.

[Meshnet’s traffic routing](https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/~/changes/Ppg3bMoVHwMks6LohjqQ/features/routing-traffic-in-meshnet) feature allows you to swiftly and securely change your [public IP address](https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/). You can turn your desktop devices into pseudo-VPN servers without any technical expertise.
