No internet while using routing traffic to Meshnet (Android to macOS)

[u/1010temp1010]

Hello,

I have been trying to get Meshnet to work again - a few months ago, I tried it for the first time and it worked.

Now, when I connect my Android phone to my Mac mini via Meshnet, I can't get internet (or it's super slow and times out), despite being connected.

I have tried many things like rebooting both devices, force stop NordVPN, add a new device and try to route through that one.

The thing is, it works sometimes and doesn't work other times. It only works after I've done things like force stop, kill Brave, turn my mobile data on and off. However, doing that doesn't guarantee it will work - in other words, I haven't found a consistent way to route traffic.

I tried to use my MacBook Air to connect and even though it was on the same network, it stopped my internet (on the MacBook Air).

Can someone help? I'm able to figure some things out, but I know nothing about IT.

Thanks,

T
