Zero Tier One

What is Zero Tier One?

Zero Tier One is an application which creates a virtual network. The virtual network allows users who are not on the same network to connect and work as if they were. The software can be installed on almost any machine and operating system, allowing anyone to to connect from almost anywhere on any device. You can install Zero Tier One Here

How Do We Use It?

We use Zero Tier One to allow students that aren't in person to connect to a machine that is on the network, using remote desktop this allows them to use a computer as if they were in person. This has been a great tool for the class in a time when there's a lot of students that aren't in person.

How to Install (Windows based)

You're going to go here find your operating system. Once you have found your operating system, and it works for almost every operating system and device, you will download. Once you've downloaded it you will then install it as you would any other application.

Installing for Linux (Debian based)

Installing for Linux is a little different. (the difference between the two is that you have to have a GPG installed for the second instillation method, and that the first method is less secure but works fine for most cases)

If you're going to trust an SSL to authenticate the site, you'll open a terminal and type

curl -s https://install.zerotier.com | sudo bash

But if you don't want to trust an SSL and you have a GPG installed then you're going to still open a terminal but you're going to type instead.

curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/master/doc/contact%40zerotier.com.gpg' | gpg --import && \
if z=$(curl -s 'https://install.zerotier.com/' | gpg); then echo "$z" | sudo bash; fi
