8. A method in a mesh network including a first meshnet device in communication with a second meshnet device, the first meshnet device being connected to a first local area network (LAN), the method comprising:
configuring the first meshnet device to receive, from the second meshnet device via a meshnet connection between the first meshnet device and the second meshnet device, an initiation network packet to be transmitted by the first meshnet device to a first LAN device connected to the LAN, the initiation network packet indicating a first subnet IP address as a destination address;
configuring the first meshnet device to compare the first subnet IP address with a stored subnet IP address that is stored in the memory in correlation with the second meshnet device, the correlation indicating whether the second meshnet device may access the first LAN device; and
configuring the first meshnet device to selectively transmit the initiation network packet to the first LAN device based at least in part on a result of comparing the first subnet IP address with the stored subnet IP address.
