ZeroTier added to RouterOS v7.1rc2

[normis]

We are happy to announce ZeroTier support for ARM architectures with enough space*.

RC2 package available here:
https://box.mikrotik.com/f/c9a303113884413bbdca/?dl=1

But from the next v7.1 release, it will be included in the release system (all packages ZIP archive).

To join a Zerotier network, it is as simple as this:

[normis@Home] /zerotier/interface> add network=YYYYYYYYY instance=zt1
[normis@Home] /zerotier>enable zt1

ZeroTier documentation can be found here: https://zerotier.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SD/pages/8454145/Getting+Started+with+ZeroTier

Devices that support this feature:

RB4011
RB3011

Audience
hAP ac³ (non LTE)

Wow, did not expect that! That’s awesome thanks !

Great Normis.
Sounds super but of course even reading the Wiki for zerotier, still lost.
I gather this is something of not much utility for the homeowner.

[normis]

Why not, you can install iPhone Zerotier client and then join your home LAN with this.

I like this strategy of having extra features available as packages if you want them.

[Hexis]

I came here just to say how awesome this is!

[usern]

Wow. This is huge.

Wonder if it will work without adding any firewall rules to accept ZeroTier master node IP addresses. AFAIK it should.

This release contains all fixes (Including Firmware fixes) of routeros-7.1beta7-arm.npk ?

Particularly regarding issue reported on SUP-44718

Think of ZeroTier as VPN with configuration on cloud.

NP16 on rc2, enable zt1 and zerotier1 comes up briefly then vanishes, my zt IP address remains in IP list attached to an ‘unknown’ interface.

Yes, And more. RC 2 is a good version, so far, stable and all known showstoppers fixed

Winbox bug. Check console

Awesome job MikroTik - i’m super excited to see this one as i’ve been using ZeroTier for a long time and had to use Ubnt routers as ZT gateways ( i feel dirty )

This is great news…can’t wait to test!

[santyx32]

Wow, Mikrotik is back to game. We just need WiFi 6 hardware to complement.

[parham]

WOW, wonderful Job all.

[Zacharias]

So it can be used as an alternative to a VPN connection ?

[sinisa]

NO THANKS!
I will manage my VPNs on my own, don’t need and don’t want any external service for that.
Wireguard is working perfectly, thank you for that. OpenVPN is still working as it used to for years (slow but reliable).

BTW, instead of adding random mostly useless stuff, why first don’t make usefull packages that were in v6, like APC UPS?

Thank you!

I will manage my VPNs on my own, don’t need and don’t want any external service for that.

It is possible (and fairly easy) to run your own ZeroTier One controllers and use that to manage your own ZeroTier networks.
There’s even an open-source web interface (that mimics my.zerotier.com) somewhere on GitHub.
That way you don’t have to rely on an “external service” and can still enjoy all (or at least most) ZeroTier awesome features.

[parham]

And OSPF works fine.
