I am very satisfied with ZeroTier one. There is no need for regular maintenance. User friendly interface for configuring networks and users. Free plan offer everything small business and home user need. Great speed while accessing local network.

Pros

ZeroTier one is very easy to use software for VPN access. Most important thing for small business and home users there is a free plan for up to 10 users. Software is completely compatible with Windows, IOS, Android and Linux OS. It can be used with various hardware routers to gain access to the whole local network. Most important feature why I am using ZeroTier is there is no need for opening ports on router. Administration is on ZeroTier site. ZeroTier is easy to configure on Mikrotik router. This VPN solution gives great speed comparing to traditional VPN systems.

Cons

It can be complicated to configure routing in between ZeroTier network and physical's LAN. Official support documentation does not cover all of the issues. I am using Mikrotik forums to solve the problem. ZeroTier is not compatible with all Mikrotik routers. Limiting factor is CPU support.

Tailscale is not compatible with Mikrotik router. Accessing to the whole local network was mandatory for VPN

Pros

Es un software muy potente para la creación de redes virtuales privadas.

Cons

Se desconectan los hosts en ocasiones, aunque vuelve a reconectar rápidamente. También me he encontrado que no inicia el servicio en ocasiones.

Pros

I liked the service provided by this company. it solves the problem of transferring DATA, providing access of over office pc to one another computer, etc. all over the world at very least cost and easy manner.

Cons

The user interface may be improved if it provides members added option in different tab after signing, else it's pretty good also if provide virtual name for Different IPs it most useful.

I have been using it for less than six months, but it has become indispensable in my work. With this, I don't have much need to upload my personal stuff to any cloud.

Pros

I can access my computer at home from my phone at the office and from my own office computer. It is easy to configure and install. You do not need the help of a special technician. It is a true remote access VPN.

Cons

Nothing, it serves its purpose. Perhaps they can have a more attractive graphical interface. However this does not detract from this product.

Me ha simplicado los procesos de comunicación entre mis servidores y estaciones.

Pros

Lo versatil y amigable que es la aplicación, lo estable que se mantiene; no se pierde comunicación entre equipos y por supuesto es muy segura.

Cons

Todo me gusta, no tengo ninguna queja de la aplicación y su estabilidad.

Reasons for choosing ZeroTier One

Por recomendación de otro usuario de ustedes, pero lo que deseo es poder crecer con este sistema, pero no tengo alguien con asistencia en español. Además me parece justo que deberiamos aportar algo para poder compensar toda la ayuda que da esta aplicación en su versión gratuita.

After 3 years of using it, I can't conceive of any project that doesn't include Zerotier.

Pros

Easy implementation on Linux, Windows and Android. You can create your own self-hosted networks, without resorting to the provider's platform. The free version is modest, you can have 25 nodes (workstations, servers, smartphones) and have everything on a local network with a segment of IPs that adapt to the network requirements. Additionally, you can create 3 networks completely segmented and disconnected from the others. Latency is much lower when nodes can communicate with each other. It has a very active community, product development and ability to patch issues is very good.

Cons

It does not have a graphical interface for self-hosting. But if you can install the self-hosted service, you can manage or program a graphical interface for your organization.

Reasons for choosing ZeroTier One

The ability to use the product and support the needs of each project.

I've used Zerotier to link remote PCs to file shares, databases, license servers, and more. It's my first choice when a customer needs specific remote access to one machine across the public internet.

Pros

Zerotier solves the secure connection over public network problem in a way that VPN does not. For direct machine-to-machine connections, it is simple and reliable.

Cons

I wish setting up my own "moon" were a little easier. Having to go to the main web site to make networking changes is not as private as I would like.

Crazy easy to set up using their online service. Great for connecting multiple remote machines to the same "network".

Weird licensing. "Free" tier is only for non-commercial.
