Hey all. I'm new here; some of the ZeroTier folks told me this existed. I made a Reddit post asking for some input; otherwise, I'd like to see some input from here too. Also always looking for resources to share with folks on troubleshooting IT issues.
I won't post on Reddit. Just not my cup of tea.
You can check the ZeroTier tag here.
https://www.mangolassi.it/tags/zerotier@adam-ierymenko used to post here a bit.

@JaredBusch Yeah, he's the one that told me about it. I'm enjoying picking his brain about stuff.
As for myself, I throw myself head-first into open-source projects, debugging stuff, and being happy if stuff works! :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Since COVID, I use ZeroTier at various clients to enable remote RDP in a secure way with flow rules (see post in tag link).
Prior to that I also used it to allow remote access to file shares by IP address. I keep the ZT IP excluded from DNS. Windows is just too stupid most of the time.
I sometimes will put ZT on a PBX if the customer wants me to do a lot of maintenance, but is not able to forward SSH in some secure fashion.

@scottalanmiller I was more active on it 20 years ago, when I first got into IT. Then drifted around other forums before becoming an active Reddit user 10 years ago. I even had my own dial-up BBS in High School, when those were fading out.

@JaredBusch A PBX? Like Asterisk?

Lots of PBX people here.

@JaredBusch Since Asterisk runs on Linux directly, you'd think you could provision an ed25519 key & have port 22 open in ip/nf tables?
-
@scottalanmiller There's a place I used to work at that I talked into getting an Asterisk system. I should point them here!

That's normal. But there are some systems where they don't want to setup things just for me or they already have other things and it is just easier to let the ZT network flow over 443.
Even then, I use my ed25519 key though

For sure! FreePBX, VitalPBX, TrixBox, Elastix, XiVo, FusionPBX (not Asterisk)... all kinds of telephony peeps here. Including some of the vendors themselves, and some of the carriers, like Skyetel.

@JaredBusch Sounds like one of those "I don't want to mess with the firewall" situations.

Quite common.

I am currently using ZT to Route between my various networks, like a Site-to-Site VPN. It can be a pain to set up, but once it's up and going, it's great!
