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.
