a memory; and
a processor configured to execute a first client application and to be communicatively coupled to the memory, to:
receive, from a second user device in a mesh network, a first status message including information indicating data communicated by the second user device outside the mesh network is routed via the first user device by indicating (i) that the second user device is operating in the mesh network as an entry device with respect to the first user device or (ii) that the first user device is operating in the mesh network as an exit device with respect to the second user device; and
