NordVPN announced that its Meshnet feature will be discontinued on December 1, 2025. The decision was made due to low adoption rates among users, as the feature was primarily suited for business applications, such as remote desktop and file sharing, which did not align with the general consumer’s needs for a VPN.
Meshnet allowed users to create a secure tunnel between devices for accessing and sharing files remotely, without relying on third-party servers. Despite its innovative approach, it failed to gain traction as everyday users did not find significant value in it compared to personal-use features offered by NordVPN.
For those affected by the shutdown, NordVPN suggests alternatives: NordLocker for secure file storage (with 3 GB free) and ZeroTier for remote device access. This change is part of NordVPN’s strategy to focus on more popular features and streamline their offerings.
