ZeroTier creates secure, programmable network overlays that connect devices, infrastructure, and applications anywhere.
ZeroTier replaces physical network boundaries with cryptographic identity and secure peer‑to‑peer connectivity.
Each network member is identified, authenticated, and connected using four core mechanisms:
Each network member is identified, authenticated, and connected using four core mechanisms.
ZeroTier combines lightweight software agents, a secure peer‑to‑peer networking layer, and a flexible control plane to create a distributed networking platform.
Every device that joins a ZeroTier network runs a lightweight software agent.
This agent installs as a background service and creates a virtual network interface on the host system.
Agents run across servers, desktops, mobile devices, routers, and embedded systems
The ZeroTier data layer forms a secure peer‑to‑peer overlay network.
Devices communicate directly whenever possible, establishing encrypted connections between nodes across the internet.
The control layer defines how networks behave.
Administrators use it to manage:
Control information is distributed to nodes, which enforce policy locally.
ZeroTier Central provides the management interface for configuring and operating networks.
From Central, administrators can:
Organizations can also run self‑hosted controllers when they require full infrastructure control.
ZeroTier Quantum is managed directly through command-line tools and APIs, giving operators full control over network configuration and behavior.
From these interfaces, teams can:
All configuration is distributed as cryptographically signed objects and enforced locally by each node.
ZeroTier networks operate as secure virtual overlays on top of existing infrastructure.
Connectivity is defined through identity and policy rather than physical topology.
Deploy networks in minutes using a lightweight client.
Peer‑to‑peer connectivity removes single points of failure.
All traffic is authenticated and encrypted by default.
ZeroTier powers secure connectivity for organizations operating in the world's most demanding environments.
ZeroTier enables modern distributed networking across environments.
Create private virtual networks that span cloud providers, data centers, and devices.
Connect infrastructure across multiple cloud providers without complex routing or VPN configuration.
Securely connect thousands of devices, servers, or embedded systems into unified networks.
Define network behavior through programmable policy tied to node identity.
Support both Ethernet bridging and routed IP networking for flexible infrastructure integration.
Control networks via APIs and automation to integrate with modern infrastructure workflows.
The networking platform trusted by millions of devices worldwide.
Simple to deploy. Infinitely flexible. Built for developers, operators, and distributed systems.
The networking platform trusted by millions of devices worldwide.
Built for environments where security, sovereignty, and resilience are non‑negotiable.
ZeroTier One allows organizations and developers to create secure virtual networks that connect devices and infrastructure anywhere.
Networks can be deployed in minutes and scale globally with no specialized networking hardware needed.
