⏁ ZeroTier - Securely Connecting The World's Devices With Modern Virtual Networking. ZeroTier connects everything. All of them. Everywhere.
... and apps too. What?

Our mission is to directly connect the world's devices. Radical Simplicity
Networking is too complex. Developers and IT managers spend hours, days, even weeks fighting tangled "Rube Goldberg machine" networks cobbled together from multiple switches, routers, firewalls, overlays, cloud networks, VPNs, port forwards, and ad-hoc tunnels. Here at ZeroTier we think most of this complexity amounts to a

pile of work-arounds for the inflexibility of physical networks. As systems and organizations become more fluid, mobile, and interconnected, the simple local and wide area network paradigm of traditional LANs and WANs no longer reflects reality. Today everything is wide area and everything is local... so we built that. Our solution is to use software to abstract away the wires and the walls. Our core thesis is that VPN, SDN, SD-WAN, and application peer to peer networking are the same thing. A network virtualization platform that treats the entire world as a single data center can connect everything everywhere and in the process make dozens of networking acronyms obsolete. Why? Radical Transparency
Complexity is the enemy of security. Every new system or ad-hoc workaround not only costs time but increases the opportunity for oversights, backdoors, and vulnerabilities. A single network virtualization system can be understood. It can be audited, hardened, simulated, and monitored. It can deliver the same advanced security features everywhere so your edge networks and remote workers are as secure as your cloud and your data center. Radical Freedom
We think the Internet has become too monopolized and centralized and that users should be in control of their own data. Among the many causes for this is the asymmetry in capability between servers in the cloud and devices at the edge. The cloud offers stable addressing and powerful software defined networking. Home and office networks by contrast haven't changed much since the late 1990s, and mobile devices lack any stable address where they can be reached. ZeroTier began life as a project to help decentralize the Internet. It became an enterprise networking company when we realized that the problems preventing the development of next-generation decentralized applications and services were the same as those costing millions in lost time and productivity for businesses and institutions around the world. Our origins in the Internet decentralization community will remain forever a part of ZeroTier's company DNA. We are open source and remain commited to privacy and freedom. Where?

Every Area Networking

Radically simplify your network with a virtual networking layer that works the same everywhere.

ZeroTier delivers the capabilities of VPNs, SDN, and SD-WAN with a single system. Manage all your connected resources across both local and wide area networks as if the whole world is a single data center.

About Us

Our mission is to directly connect the world's devices with powerful, easy, and secure network virtualization.

ZeroTier connects everything.

ZeroTier is a technology company dedicated to making computer networking easier, more powerful, and more secure.

People use ZeroTier to seamlessly connect laptops, desktops, phones, embedded devices, cloud resources, and apps any way they want anywhere they go. Our software transforms the entire world into a single data center.

The ZeroTier Edge

The ZeroTier Edge is an enterprise grade VPN, SD-WAN, and network virtualization device powered by open source software.

Our open source network virtualization software runs on servers, cloud VMs, desktops, laptops, phones, inside apps via our SDK, and on embedded/IoT devices. It's used by everyone from casual users to large publicly traded companies.

We decided to offer a hardware device that puts the power of our entire software stack into a convenient package that can be deployed anywhere in minutes.

The ZeroTier Edge is a plug-and-play VPN and SD-WAN appliance that provides physical ports into virtual networks. These ports work just like regular Ethernet, allowing the Edge to provide connectivity to almost any kind of device speaking any Ethernet-based protocol. Connect any Ethernet or Wi-Fi capable device to virtual networks in minutes.

The ZeroTier Edge:

Provides Physical Ports to Virtual Networks

True Ethernet Bridge Supports Any Ethernet-Capable Protocol

Multicast and Broadcast Support

Zero-Configuration One-Step Install

Simple DOTADIW (Do One Thing and Do It Well) Design

Remote Administration via Web or Central

SD-WAN Features Including Multiple WAN, Trunking, Private Links, Hot Spare

Handles Up to 1gbps Full-Duplex Encrypted ZeroTier Traffic

Our Story

In the years before this project began, two things started becoming obvious to us: networking was becoming too complex and cumbersome, and the Internet was becoming too centralized.

We wondered if these problems might be related. Could the difficulty of networking be driving centralization by making it harder to connect to a friend's computer than to a third party service? Could an easier way to manage networks protect our privacy, improve our security, preserve the Internet as a platform for open innovation, and save businesses billions by sweeping away heaps of unnecessary complexity?

If these problems were related could their solutions be related too? What would happen if we paired the peer to peer and distributed approaches to computing being pioneered by Internet decentralization afficionadoes with network virtualization and software defined networking (SDN) ideas from the enterprise networking world?

So that's what we did. We built a secure and scalable peer to peer network and then put a VXLAN-like network virtualization layer on top. Now we're using it to deliver the openness and simplicity of the original flat Internet but with the security, mobility, and manageability features today's users need.
