How do I connect NordVPN to the HG569b router

The context does not provide specific instructions for connecting NordVPN directly to the Spark HG659b router. However, it explains that you can use NordVPN with Meshnet to connect multiple devices without logging into your router. Therefore, instead of configuring NordVPN on the HG659b router, you can install and use NordVPN directly on each device and enable Meshnet to connect them as if they were on the same network.
