We have been using tinc in our network appliance since 2012, but early 2015 we moved to zerotier because it's so much simpler and versatile.

Interested to hear more about your use case and why you moved from tinc to zt. Are you usually deployed behind a NAT? Do you use ZT's servers?

It is used in the VoIP market. Always behind NAT, yes. We found zerotier much easier to manage, for example it's so quick for support to join/leave networks.

Another use case is our Docker Swarm which runs completely on zerotier, most nodes are on premise but some are in the cloud to make the system publicly accessible.

To me the best feature is the easy setup.
