ZeroTier on MikroTik

Share on:

The TL;DR

ZeroTier is now built directly into MikroTik’s RouterOS starting with version 7, joining Ubiquiti, Teltonika Networks, OpenWrt, and OPNsense as supported ZeroTier router platforms. ZeroTier at the router level lets an entire network join a ZeroTier network with a single join command, rather than installing a client on every individual device behind it. Running ZeroTier at the router level rather than the endpoint is what turns it from a per-device tool into infrastructure an entire local network inherits automatically.

Yes, it’s finally happened, ZeroTier is now available on MikroTik routers as part of the standard RouterOS installation. This also means that ZeroTier now has a recommended hardware platform for people who want ZeroTier-enabled routers and other hardware networking devices, especially for small and medium business applications.

Per the MikroTik forum:

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

But from the next v7 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

MikroTik now joins Ubiquiti, Teltonika Networks, OpenWrt, and OPNsense on our list of supported 3rd party networking firmware and routers. If you are a networking hardware or software provider interested in integrating ZeroTier, let us know.
