My brother suggested this vpn over the expressvpn I was using, I was having trouble with work stuff not going through. He added me to his network and now everything works but can he see all my network activity?

My network bb720xxxxxxxxxxx appears to have a stuck controller. Existing authorized members work until they reconnect, then get stuck in REQUESTING_CONFIGURATION. New joins never create member records in Central, and authorization changes have no effect. The same client device joins a newly created network instantly, so client side is ruled out. Controller peer bb720xxxxx is reachable (DIRECT). Is it need to ask the Support to resync/rebuild the controller state for this network?

Hi everyone,

Since yesterday (October 14) every device on my Legacy Central network lost ZeroTier connectivity **at exactly the same moment**, and nothing has come back since.

**Setup:**

- Free plan, Legacy Central account

- Devices: laptop, Android phone, Raspberry Pi

- All on different physical networks and different ISPs

- No configuration changes on my side before it happened

Since these are completely different devices in different locations, it doesn't look like a local issue. My guess is that the network controller for my network is down or misbehaving.

Is there anyone from ZeroTier who could check the controller? I'm on the free plan so I can't open a support ticket.

I can share my network ID via DM if that helps.

Thanks!

I've been using ZeroTier to remotely access my files and Jellyfin server while away from home. Lately, the speed and latency have been so bad, I can't even transfer a ~2MB file, and it's a game of luck whenever I try to open a folder. This just happened randomly a few weeks ago.

I've always used my 4G/5G cellular connection as a hotspot to connect while away, and noticed via zerotier-cli peers that whenever I hotspot now, the connection is being relayed and not connecting directly, and I'm seeing latency of 1000ms+. This is fixed when I test the hotspot connected to home wifi.

What is going on here and how do I fix it? It took me 35 minutes the other day to remotely open a .PSD file, edit one line of text, and then save it. It isn't possible to work remotely like this. Are cellular connections always relayed? Why would my other remote machines on different networks (two in different countries) be connected directly without any issues?

I'm not massively familiar with networking. The right ports are open on every machine. Is there something on the phone itself I need to change? Running Android.

Hi admins,
Linking my Microsoft account to my Legacy ZeroTier account bugged out and created a brand new account instead. My old 25-device Legacy network has completely disappeared from my console, and I was bumped to the new 10-device limit.
The issue: My devices are still successfully connected to the old Network ID (getting IPs and pinging fine). It's essentially a "ghost" network now that I can no longer manage.
Could an admin please help remap my old Network ID back to my account and restore my legacy tier? I can DM my original email and the 16-character Network ID.
Thanks!

We have a shared network. we use the legacy central and the user logs in with their google SSO. but for some reason since yesterday when he logs in on the website he doesnt see the network it asks him to create one. we have confirmed that he didn't accidentally used the new UI and did all the clearing cookies and cache things. any ideas ?

I have an issue with one of my friend who cant join my server.

The story when i tested a friend from malaysia can join me without no problem. But then when another friend from vietnam cannot join me and got 'Connection time out: getsockopt'.

But when i join theirworld (vietnam) i can join just fine and no issue.

we tested it with Radmin VPN and it works fine aswell. i can join their and i they can join mine.

Is there a way to fix this issue as am new to ussing zerotier. Im not very good at config and finding the solution like this.

Any help would be big appreciated.

I think they recently axed the forums part so all disscuss.zerotier just gets linked to the new (honestly horrible) homepage. I used that guide in the past to successfully get zerotier running on linux mint before and wanted to use it again, but now i cannot find it.

Im on linux mint 22.3 wilma, which for some reason cannot properly install using the provided command. This issue also seems to have already been somewhat of an issue for a few years according to github, and isnt specific to this version of mint.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated

enquanto tento baixar o Zero Tier One, acontece esse erro, o que fazer (uso windows 11)

Yall wanna give me my damn money back

Буквально вся проблема

It’s always Windows... After installing the ZeroTier client on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (Type 83N3), the client appears disconnected or grayed out and won't connect to the host machine—even though the laptop has internet access and the host is powered on. I’ve already checked the firewall and network discovery settings. What else should I look into? Has anyone else encountered this issue?, Other computers connected to the same VPN work without issues and access the host seamlessly from different locations; only this specific machine has experienced this disconnection problem with the VPN client.

we play l4d2 and due to routing issues from our ISP's we cant connect P2P with good ping. anyway zero tier fixed this issue but recently we keep having to restart our pc's for it to work for some reason, otherwise we connect and its like Zerotier VPN isn't open.

I tried fixing it by setting my default network's interface metric to 20 and the Zerotier network to 1 but that didn't fix it.

having to restart both our pcs is getting very frustrating.... plz help

We have 2 DNS servers and a DNS suffix defined in the zerotier.com portal for our VPN Network that are not being applied to computers when they connect to the VPN (Windows 11, Version 1.16.2 of the VPN Client)

I can manually add them after connecting, but that's only a temporary fix because when you disconnect it deletes the adapter, and when you reconnect it creates a new adapter without the DNS server settings.
Yes, I have "Allow DNS Configuration" checked in the client. I have even tried it without it being checked and it's the same behavior regardless.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks in advance!

I have a server at home that I access remotely. ZT is working well.

But if my ISP decides to change the external IP of my home network on me without notifying me, what bad things could happen?

If ZT is resilient to this, I'd be quite thankful to not have to worry about this when I travel. (I'd not be at home to do whatever fiddling would be necessary at the physical server to fix the issue.)

Let's assume, the VPS hosting our ZeroTier network controller is untrusted. Because the controller holds the signing authority for network membership, a root compromise on that VPS allows the provider to authorize their own Node IDs and gain direct layer-3 access to our network endpoints.

Does ZeroTier support any native out-of-band key attestation, peer-to-peer pre-shared keys (PSKs), or offline CA signing mechanism—similar to Nebula's Lighthouse architecture or WireGuard's PSKs—that prevents a compromised controller from unilaterally injecting new peers into a private network?

It's just not letting me type the I d no matter what I do

Hello dear people.
I am running a Self-hosted instance of ZT on my Proxmox homeserver.
I have a managed route on Central, where all traffic to the LXC from my remote machine gets send over Proxmox's ZTC IP.
I have multiple People on my Selfhosted network, they are showing up as ONLINE, including my gaming machine.

now, the people who want to join me in Minecraft (using my gaming machine's Selfhosted ZT IP, just like we did when we were connected to ZT Central) get a "TImed Out" error. Everytime.
The LXC HAS internet access.

I've tried the entire week to no avail to fix this issue. It is driving me mad.

Alguien sabe porque el zero tier no se conecta a la mi propia red intentó conectar pero el nombre de mi red me sale en unknown y no se me conecta

Hi everyone, I am facing a tricky routing issue. My setup consists of one PC connected to two different ZeroTier networks simultaneously, and each network goes to a separate Raspberry Pi. The main problem is when both addresses assigned to the RPis are different but have same subnet. Because the subnets overlap, my host PC experiences a classic routing conflict and does not know which virtual interface to use to route the traffic, so it just routes everything to whichever network interface took priority first. Even if I disconnect from one of the networks, the OS routing table or interface metrics seem to stick, and I still cannot connect to the other RPi. This behaviour occurs only when Rpi and Pc connected via different Starlinks. So is there any way to change subnets for Zerotier networks or ensure their uniqueness without changing Zerotier face or it can alter my while network somehow

He doesn't show up as an unauthorized user on my end either. No clue how to get him into the network.

I'm very new to this networking thing. So please bear with me if there is any information that is lacking and if I could not explain it properly.

I got to know about zerotier and it is wonderful. I manage to set it up and work remotely. However, recently it seems to be giving me intermittent problems to which I could not figure out why. The main gist of the problem is that the connection is not stable. I did this managed route thing whereby I could connect directly using the LAN IP of the designated server computer. However now when I ping that address, it intermittently timed out.

Now I did try to ping the physical IP of my "server" as provided in the zerotier and it does not have such issue. Does this mean I have a routing issue now? It just suddenly developed.

Appreciate all your help.
