ZeroTier provides software-defined networking (SDN) solutions that let people create secure, private networks over the internet without relying on traditional hardware like routers and switches. It works by running client software on devices to form a virtual network fabric, securely routing traffic between remote sites, data centers, and endpoints through a centralized network stack. This makes it easier to connect devices and systems anywhere, supporting use cases like remote work, IoT management, and secure communications, with a freemium model that scales from individuals to enterprises. Unlike many networking products that depend on physical hardware and complex setups, ZeroTier focuses on software-based networking that can be deployed quickly across diverse environments. Its goal is to help users connect devices securely and efficiently across multiple locations by providing flexible, scalable private networks and enterprise-grade options.
