ZeroTier

• I recently got a mini host for the office, thinking it would be convenient to configure an environment and have occasional access at home. I temporarily deployed internal network penetration using frp – specifying port forwarding, which requires a public server with a connection quality dependent on its bandwidth. Instead, I experimented with a fresh Zerotier virtual LAN, similar to a VPN, where I created a virtual network card locally and all machines joined it into a single virtual network.

What is ZeroTier

ZeroTier is a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solution that allows users to create secure virtual networks between devices in different geographic locations. Through ZeroTier, you can easily connect multiple computers, servers, and devices into a virtual, encrypted network – as if they were on the same local network. This helps developers and IT professionals securely share data and resources across different locations without complex network setups or VPN configurations.
