1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a first device in communication with a second device in a mesh network, an access policy associated with processing communications received from the second device;
determining, by the first device, that a first communication is received from the second device over an exclusive meshnet connection between the first device and the second device:
processing, by the first device based at least in part on the access policy, the first communication received from the second device;
determining, by the first device, a change in the access policy associated with processing communications received from the second device;
updating, by the first device, firewall settings associated with the first user device, the firewall settings indicating the change in the access policy;
determining, by the first device, that a second communication is received from the second device over the exclusive meshnet connection;
processing, by the first device based at least in part on the change in the access policy, the second communication received from the second device in real-time; and
transmitting, by the first device to the second device, access policy information indicating the change in the access policy to the second device over the exclusive meshnet connection or via a relay server.
