ZeroTier One
ZeroTier One links Windows 11 computers and other devices through virtual networks for people who need remote access to shared resources.
Operating system: Windows
Publisher: ZeroTier, Inc.
Release : ZeroTier One 1.16.2
Antivirus check: VirusTotal report
ZeroTier One lets Windows 11 users create virtual networks that span computers, servers, and other supported devices in separate locations. It can link a home lab, make work resources available remotely, support file sharing, or put players on a common network. The program is aimed at communication between devices rather than routing everyday browsing through another location.
Connect devices in different locations to one virtual network without extensive router configuration.
The Windows client adds a background service and virtual adapter, with basic controls in the system tray. Users enter a network ID to join, while administrators approve members and manage addresses and traffic rules through a web interface. It supports encrypted connections, tries to establish direct links between devices, and provides command-line tools for checking connections and managing network membership.
Features:
- Join virtual networks from the system tray
- Assign private IP addresses to network members
- Approve devices through a web management interface
- Set traffic rules by address, port, or protocol
- Inspect connections using command-line tools
- Connect supported devices across operating systems
PROS
Direct peer connections can reduce gaming latency.
Tray controls make joining networks straightforward.
CONS
Network authorization and routing settings confuse newcomers.
