Why I Love ZeroTier

It's like having my own LAN stretched across the whole planet — no port forwarding, no firewalls to beg access from, just direct secure connections.


Holepunching Done Right

  • NAT traversal just works
  • End-to-end encryption
  • Local IPs across all machines
  • Control plane can be self-hosted

No cloud dependency if you don't want it.


My Setup

  • MPD in the garage
  • Beatify extensions on mobile
  • Desktops and laptops all meshed
  • Kids' entities with parental control
  • DDP + MongoDB over ZeroTier

Everything can reach everything — but only what I allow.


Why It Matters

ZeroTier allows total topology control. I define the mesh. I don’t trust ISPs, I don’t trust routers, I don’t trust cloud VPN providers. I trust math and code.


Sovereignty starts with the network layer.
ZeroTier is where mine begins.
