ZeroTier is fantastic software. I'm often surprised I don't hear about it more. Its great to hear they are embracing Go; that might make it more accessible for

  We are embracing Go for the higher level service controls but the core is staying C++ for now. Still can't beat C/C++ when you want to sling packets very very fast. (ZeroTier founder and main author here)

    Thanks for what you do. I’ve enjoyed using ZeroTier for my personal LAN to allow my homelab to serve small services (Plex, Minecraft server, dev dbs etc) as well as planning on rolling it out to my small team as a VPN alternative. The traditional VPN was expensive, awful slow, and it’s IP was frequently blocked on various sites, making some work impossible to complete without disabling the VPN. The network ZeroTier is allowing me to design is remarkably specific to our needs. As a cloud-only company traditional firewalls don’t really fit, but virtual networks give us that same level of control. The open source, self host-able code you provide is very confidence-inspiring for a security product. I’ve always been curious as to how much it costs to run your hosted free tier because the limits are quite generous. On a personal note, ZeroTier allowed me to work from my LAN remotely which gave me the ability to be with my father in person during the last few weeks of his life without missing work and getting in a financial pickle. So... thanks!
