ZeroTier

ZeroTier, Inc. builds a software-defined networking (SDN) overlay that securely connects devices, servers, clouds, and networks anywhere in the world as if they were on the same local LAN, without the complexity of traditional VPNs, port forwarding, or firewall changes. The platform combines a peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted transport with a hosted control plane (ZeroTier Central) for network, member, organization, and access management. Developers automate ZeroTier through the hosted Central API (create and manage virtual networks, authorize members, set flow rules and IAM), the local ZeroTier One Service/Client API on each node, a Terraform provider, first-party client libraries, webhooks for real-time organization events, and a growing focus on post-quantum ("ZeroTier Quantum") secure networking.

ZeroTier publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including controller API, network API, network-member API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Networking, Software-Defined Networking, SDN, and VPN.

The ZeroTier catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

ZeroTier’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, quickstart, support, engineering blog, and 33 more developer resources.
