About:
ZeroTier One creates a secure, peer-to-peer mesh network that connects devices across the internet as if they were on the same local area network. It uses an encrypted UDP tunnel to bypass complex firewall and NAT configurations without requiring port forwarding. This allows for seamless remote access, file sharing, and distributed computing across any number of devices globally.
Key Features:
  • Encrypted peer-to-peer mesh networking
  • NAT traversal without port forwarding
  • Virtual Ethernet switch functionality
  • Centralized web-based network management
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Secure remote access to home or office networks
  • Connecting distributed cloud servers and services
  • Enabling multiplayer gaming across different networks
  • IoT device communication and management
Alternatives:
  • Tailscale – WireGuard-based mesh VPN with similar features but different architecture
  • OpenVPN – Traditional client-server VPN requiring centralized server infrastructure
  • WireGuard – Point-to-point VPN protocol requiring manual configuration
