A more in depth look at ZeroTier

ZeroTier VS VPN and A Look At The Data Stream With Wireshark

[SomeGuyInSandy]

The last week and a half has been a blast. We went from Zero work at home people to over a dozen. Hardware, software, and voice system. Everything works, and I have happy management & users. Totar win.

Thanks so so much!!!.
I meant to look at this last year and never really got round to it and it drifted from memory.


But as I had a few challenges I needed to solve after seeing this video this morning I decided to check this out


This solved a huge problem for me and just wanted to comment and say thanks and can appreciate the work you are currently doing to help provide this solutions for people who require remote access in this Corona Virus crisis.


Really like the channel and content.

Zerotier is awesome, I use it everyday, however I am moving to my own hosted solution, I want my own network in my own control and not relying on anyone in anyway.

[akurenda]

Tom, can you do a tutorial on how to expose your entire LAN to Zero Tier? For instance, installing Zero Tier on one server on the network and exposing an entire subnet/vlan to it?

[mrmongo]

Terrific for home schooling, where a parent/teacher can interact with/monitor students and their activities.

[jecolonusa]

Good Choice for network games :), tks for the info

[peihengzhang]

I really appreaciate your video. It worked for me.

[maxd]

Hmm, learned something new. But I prefer OpenVPN. My concern is if their cloud service goes down, you loose remote access to your machines. Great vid as always,

Looks interesting but I have a question. I have a remote ham radio station connected with Starlink (Natted, no public IP). I need to not only just look at and interact with the desktop, but run programs locally which connect to devices on the remote LAN - I need to "see" all of the remote IP's. And, I have to receive broadcasts from one of the devices so that I can connect to it. Will ZeroTier do this?

[garylovesbeer]

Was wondering when this one would be posted. Thank you. Great job.

[coolyou]

Which makes me wonder how this can be combined with pfsense ... sort of virtual interface connected to zerotier network ... this would open up a whole lot of new options ... great video, keep on doing .... Thanks

[fbifido]

Can you show how to do the bridge mode?
can they add a zerotier-dns to the network-id we create?
can we use static ip-address, can we set access rules, like only allow access from this zerotier-ip?

[MrSoulMonk]

I have watched several of your videos and I highly admire and thank you for the tremendous quality and effort you put forth in each video. I have become a lot wiser and more informed by watching your videos. Here's to many more years of learning from your expertise.

Hi, You say to enable RDP, but I have read: "First security rule of RDP—it is absolutely unacceptable to leave RDP exposed on the Internet for access—no matter how much endpoint and systems hardening is performed. The risks of such exposure are far too high. RDP is meant to be used only across a local area network (LAN)"

So with the method described in this video am I exposing RDP to the internet?

[x-uz]

You could also make another video about Apache Guacamole as an RDP gateway.

[BarryArendt]

Excellent video Tom worked like a champ thank you.

[AnthonyCKelly]

I just did this today for one of our HR people.

[dptoledo]

Thanks for the video. Can you pretty please explain how to install and config zerotier on a freenas 11.3 jail since it doesn't support zerotier nativaly

[royitoroy]

Thanks for the good video!!... I am looking for the solution to remotely connect to my private network (windows) with my shared folders and my printers, it is not just remote desktop, could you tell me what solution I could use for that ... I have gsnat, no I have access to port-forwarding or DMZ en the modem/router

[tyrannical]

What's the maximum FPS when done this way when direct? Also what's the MB per second set to?
