      @FATeknollogee Will you host your own network connector or have ZT host it?

        It's built to handle thousands of devices, no problem at all.

        Zero Tier is engineered very differently to Pertino, so although you can use them for the same end, there are some core differences.

        You just need tosetup a Zero Tier network, either hosted by them or by you, install the endpoints on a test machine and your TS, and you should be able to RDP onto it.

        It's very easy to do.

          The ZT price seems very reasonable, so I would go the ZT hosted route.

            Right, off the top of my head I don't know if this is possible through Zero Tier.

            Can you control this via the terminal server itself? Group policy for different user accounts allowed to log on or off depending on time of day?

              Do I smell a ZeroTier feature request for @adam-ierymenko ?

                Yes, at $4 you can't afford not to 🙂

                  Would love to know if they have already started on a gateway.

                    I'm sure it could be done via GP, I was kinda looking for a "cooler" way of doing it.

                      Not likely, they specifically do not want to laden ZT up with features. If you want to turn ZT on and off at specific times, it already supports that through simple scripting. ZT itself need not handle that.

                      User accounts could not be used here, remember this is a networking service, so if you turned it off, the entire terminal server would be offline.

                        Why would you want a terminal server intentionally dropping off of the network?

                          They want to stop access for over-seas consultants at certain times.

                            We already have people in the community using gateways.

                              Killing VPN access to the network is not a good way to go about that. Using AD to stop logins would be far better.

                                  Interesting that their site, at least a couple weeks ago said something to the effect of it being considered.

                                      But you are asking about installing a VPN. I'm confused.

                                        Are you thinking that ZeroTier is not a VPN? ZeroTier is a VPN, that's what it is.

                                          Currently, we use a Site to Site VPN & remote users connect using Windows VPN

                                            @scottalanmiller Probably meaning the more traditional VPN he is currently using.
