This feature allows you to control whether or not your device can access devices on the local network while the VPN is on. Examples of these can be your network printer, your smart TV and any other “internet of things” device on your local network. It also impacts AirDrop and CarPlay. You can enable or disable this option through your Mozilla VPN settings.

Note that on Mozilla VPN for Android, Windows and Linux, you can access all local network devices by default and this option is not available.
