I've read as much as I can handle of the website of this ZeroTier thing and I still can't fully grok it.
What's the difference between this and your own private VPN?
- y4mi 8y agoZero Tier is peer to peer.
- zimbatm 8y agoA VPN is point-to-point. You fire up the client on your laptop and connect to a server. That server is usually also acting as a bridge into a network. It gives your machine a presence into that other well defined network. ZeroTier is an overlay network. What is does it create a new encrypted network, with it's own address space and everything, on which you can connect through the controller (a default one is provided by ZeroTier). It doesn't matter where the nodes are. If it detects that two nodes are on the same LAN it's going to route the traffic directly. The overlay network is encrypted all the time, even when it goes over your LAN.
- jlgaddis 8y agoSounds kinda like DMVPN.
