Have tor downloaded and running. Not the "Tor browser" - a nightmare in terms of privacy and invasive shit, but the CLI tor router.
The tor website is sorta convoluted (probably on purpose), but what you need is called "The Tor Expert Bundle" https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/
In Linux you can just download tor from your repos like
apt install tor
oryum install tor
-
Go to system settings and find "Proxy" (should be Network & internet > Proxy), then in section "Manual proxy setup" click on "Set up" button.
-
Turn on "Use a proxy server", in the Proxy IP address put "socks=127.0.0.1" as a value, for Port put "9050".
Not a mesh, but convenient GUI VPN client for Linux
