- lillecarl 4y agoZeroTier is definitely not based on WireGuard, it's its own custom protocol. Just thought you should know. It's their own and it used to be marketed as "a global network switch", it operates with 2400 MTU and fragments your packets when sending them (because MTU is 1500 on the internet). It also means you can send data over ZeroTier without IP addresses, broadcast and multicast should work too. However, it's not WireGuard. WireGuard operates on L3, there's no L2 headers, you can't run MPLS over it, you can't add VLAN tags to it, you route all the traffic. As long as you're not bridging yourself into the ZeroTier network there shouldn't be any issues though, but fragmenting always kills performance. TL;DR: ZeroTier is not based on WireGuard.
