Can anyone compare ZeroTier to Tailscale?
- sph 4y agoI'd like an answer too. A few things I've found: * Tailscale is layer 3 and ZeroTier is layer 2, which is a significant difference for some applications. * Tailscale requires an SSO solution, ZeroTier doesn't. * Tailscale uses Wireguard, ZeroTier has its own custom protocol (correct me if I'm wrong) * Tailscale provides an automagical DNS service for all nodes, with ZeroTier you need to roll your own: you need to physically install and run it on one of your nodes. ZeroTier will automatically propagate it for you. See also: https://tailscale.com/kb/1139/tailscale-vs-zerotier/ https://tailscale.com/kb/1139/tailscale-vs-zerotier/
- Anunayj 4y agoCan someone explain what kind of difference being layer 3 v/s layer 2 mean? Does this mean with Zerotier I can deploy applications that don't use IP or something like that?
