Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A mesh network, comprising:
a first user device; and
a second user device in communication with the first user device via a meshnet connection in the mesh network, the second user device being connected to a local area network (LAN) that includes a domain name service (DNS) server, the first user device being outside the LAN, wherein
the first user device is configured to transmit, to the second user device over the meshnet connection, a meshnet query packet that includes a DNS query packet querying for domain information associated with an external device that is outside the mesh network, the DNS query packet including access information associated with the DNS server to indicate that the second user device is to utilize the DNS server in the LAN to obtain the domain information;
the second user device is configured to transmit, over a LAN connection, the DNS query packet to the DNS server, and to receive, over the LAN connection based at least in part on transmitting the DNS query packet, the domain information from the DNS server;
the second user device is configured to transmit, to the first user device over the meshnet connection, the domain information associated with the external device;
the first user device is configured to transmit, to the second user device over the meshnet connection, a meshnet initiation packet that includes a network initiation packet for communicating with the external device, the network initiation packet including the domain information; and
the second user device is configured to transmit, over a network connection, the network initiation packet to the external device based at least in part on utilizing the domain information in the network initiation packet.
