ZeroTier Setup

ZeroTier is a virtual overlay network that can allow you to connect any nodes on the global Internet. You can use it to create VPN.

TIP

ZeroTier is not a VPN solution. VPN is just one of the solution you can adopt in its overlay network topology

# install zero-tier one
curl -s https://install.zerotier.com | sudo bash
