Gateways & Routing

Route traffic through remote devices on your mesh to reach networks and services they can access

How It Works

Gateways and Routes work together as two sides of the same feature:

Gateway
A remote device that forwards traffic between networks on your behalf
Routes
Rules on your local device that send specific traffic through a gateway

Enable Network Gateway on any device to let other mesh devices route traffic through it. Then configure routes on your local device to send traffic to specific destinations through that gateway.

Route to a Remote LAN

Access devices on a remote network without installing Netrinos on each one. Route traffic to the remote subnet through a gateway device on that network.

This lets you reach NAS units, printers, cameras, and other devices that can't run Netrinos.

Note: The local and remote subnets must not conflict. If both networks use 192.168.1.0/24, routing won't work.

Route to Public Websites

Route traffic to specific websites through a gateway in another location. The gateway forwards your request, so the website sees the gateway's IP address and location.

Use cases:

  • Access banking or payment sites that block foreign IPs while traveling
  • Read news and information blocked in your current location
  • Bypass network restrictions on hotel, airport, or corporate WiFi

Setting Up

On the gateway device
Open Settings, click Setup next to Network Gateway and Routing, and enable Network Gateway.
On your local device
Enable Network Routes, enter a destination (IP range or hostname), select a gateway, and click Add.

If you can't access the gateway device directly, account admins can enable gateways by logging in at app.netrinos.com.
