To be fair, ZeroTier isn't just "some tool". It has a solid reputation. The founder (api) is actually here in the thread.

What about Zerotier 2.0 btw? Was supposed to surface before summer, but seems to have stalled. Might actually be relevant as more people are working from home now.

2.0 is still in the works, but took far longer than we hoped. We have back-ported some of its features to the 1.x branch and have a 1.6.0 beta (tagged 1.5.0) out now. 1.6.0 should be late this month. We are pushing for 2.0 by EOY.

2.0 is a major re-architecting for performance and versatility with a rewrite of the CLI and service layer (not core protocol). If we had 100% of our time to dedicate only to engineering we could have shipped it by now, but biz and other things got in the way.

Thanks for the update and thank you for working on this! Looking forward to the upcoming releases!

That’s good to know. That being said: it’s not clear what role it’s playing (to me, it may be extremely obvious to anybody who knows what ZeroTier actually is), and it’s not clear why it’s being shelled out to rather than consumed via some Python API.
