1. A meshnet infrastructure device associated with an external meshnet device in communication with a first meshnet device and a second meshnet device in a mesh network, the meshnet infrastructure device comprising:
a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
configure the external meshnet device to receive first connection information associated with a first local area network (LAN) from the first meshnet device, and second connection information associated with a second LAN from the second meshnet device;
configure the external meshnet device to calculate a first range of first subnet internet protocol (IP) addresses associated with the first LAN based at least in part on utilizing the first connection information, and a second range of second subnet IP addresses associated with the second LAN based at least in part on utilizing the second connection information;
configure the external meshnet device to determine, based at least in part on comparing the first range and the second range, a conflict that a first subnet IP address assigned to a first LAN device in the first LAN is the same as a second subnet IP address assigned to a second LAN device in the second LAN;
configure the external meshnet device to map, based at least in part on determining the conflict, an alternate IP address to correspond with the first subnet IP address; and
configure the external meshnet device to communicate with the first LAN device based at least in part on utilizing the alternate IP address instead of utilizing the first subnet IP address.
