8. A method in a mesh network, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first device from a second device via a meshnet connection in the mesh network, connection information indicating a domain name services (DNS) server associated with a local area network (LAN) to which the second device is connected, the first device being disconnected from the LAN;
transmitting, by the first device to the DNS server based at least in part on utilizing the connection information, a query to receive a subnet IP address assigned to a LAN device;
receiving, by the first device from the DNS server based at least in part on transmitting the query, the subnet IP address assigned to the LAN device;
determining, by the first device based at least in part on receiving the subnet IP address assigned to the LAN device from the DNS server, that the LAN device is connected to the LAN; and
transmitting, by the first device to the second device via the meshnet connection in the mesh network, a meshnet packet including data to be transmitted by the second device to the LAN device based at least in part on utilizing the subnet IP address assigned to the LAN device.
