mullvad: Enable LAN access while VPN is on.
$ mullvad lan set allow
try on your machine

The command "mullvad lan set allow" is used in the context of the Mullvad VPN application on a local area network (LAN).

Mullvad is a virtual private network (VPN) service that allows users to establish secure and encrypted connections over the internet. This command specifically refers to configuring the VPN settings related to LAN connectivity.

When executed, the "mullvad lan set allow" command enables or allows LAN access while using the Mullvad VPN. By default, when you connect to a VPN, your device's LAN access may be restricted or blocked to prevent potential security risks. However, there may be situations where you need to access devices or services on your local network while using the VPN.

By using this command and setting it to "allow," Mullvad VPN will allow LAN access, enabling you to connect to devices, printers, servers, or other resources within your local network. This feature can be useful if you need to access files or devices on your LAN while still benefitting from the VPN's security and privacy features.
