Thanks @holvoetn for taking the time to test on the hap ax lite, especially since you don’t intend to use it yourself.
Thanks @Larsa for your ZeroTier - a quick HOW-TO and for the link to @Amm0’s ZeroTier on Mikrotik – a rosetta stone [v7.1.1+]

It seems that ZeroTier is maybe a bit faster than OpenVPN but behind ipsec and wireguard in performance.
This is my understanding, but it could be wrong. ZeroTier is a layer 2 solution (and takes care of fragmentation of ethernet frames itself). I think it can be bridged with a local segment to make other devices “appear” local. It also has the ability to limit what else can connect. It is peer-to-peer, and the only thing the “planet” does it to relay into to the nodes to prime the peer-to-peer communication using udp hole punching. If something is preventing peer-to-peer traffic it can also relay encrypted traffic (at low data rate, with high latency). If you don’t want to use the zerotier infastructure, you can evidently set up your own “moons”, but most people will not want to do this.
