To connect to a ZeroTier virtual network as a VPN from your phone or tablet, follow these steps:
-
Download and Install ZeroTier One: Visit the Google Play Store on your Android device and search for "ZeroTier One." Download and install the app.
-
Join a Network: Open the ZeroTier One app. You will be prompted to join a network. Enter the 16-character network ID provided by your network administrator or the one you created.
-
Authorize the Connection: Once you join the network, you may need to authorize the connection. This can be done within the app or through the ZeroTier Central web interface at my.zerotier.com.
-
Configure as VPN: ZeroTier One for Android automatically sets up the network as a VPN connection. You can verify this in your device's VPN settings.
-
Check Connectivity: After joining the network, ensure that your device is connected and can communicate with other devices on the same ZeroTier network.
ZeroTier creates peer-to-peer virtual Ethernet networks that work anywhere. It's used as a faster alternative to traditional VPNs, providing seamless connectivity for hybrid or multi-site/multi-provider cloud environments, remote collaboration, distributed teams, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, offering direct end-to-end connectivity to specialized devices.
