      I would even be okay with a package that is only available with Netgate appliances.

      That's a cool idea - it would be a great value-add and another good incentive for people to buy Netgate appliances vs some cheap crap from Alibaba.

        Would also be a way to add "SD-WAN" functionality.

        Not that SD-WAN has any real technical definition, but in the router market, it seems to often refer to creating multiple secured links between different routers with the ability to use QOS rules to prioritize traffic within those links. ZT has the potential to check both of those boxes.

          It looks like some progress is being made.

            Team,

            I'm quite happy to roll up another $250 to get this done. There is no question of the value of this integration. I've been using OPNsense just because the integration is already there but would much prefer the reliability of PFSense.

              I would love to see this also.

              Unfortunately, unless Netgate gets behind it, I don't see it ever happening. At the moment, it does not appear that Netgate has any interest.

                @ Reboot IT we are doing some R&D for this to work on the latest 2.4.5 p1 version.
                Trying to make a package using a full version of BSD. Looking for a tool that will simplify this process.
                Wanted to add, we are not asking for any donations as we are trying to learn and use it to its max potential.
                Suggestions are welcomed.

                      I’m pining for this as well. Would be much better than my current OpenVPN setup. Would be nice if Netgate took a break from Wiregard while the dust settles on that situation and adopted ZT as a first class citizen of pfS.

                          @coreybrett this really isn’t a good way to make me feel positive.

                              @jwt My apologies, I’m not attempting to upset anyone.
                              A lot of us would really like to see support for ZT.
                              It could bring a lot to the table for pfS.

                                  Where are we at with this?

                                  Im currently using OpenVPN but looking for another cloud connector based VPN and ZeroTier was looking really good until i saw it was not supported.

                                  Any other suggestions? Im behind CGNAT so net a cloud connector type scenario.

                                  Thanks

                                    @deanfourie said in Zerotier One as a package - $100USD:

                                    Where are we at with this?

                                    To run on pfSense to provide LAN-wide addressing? Pretty much nowhere I'm afraid. If you need it to run on the router it's supported by Mikrotik and OPNSense, but not pfSense.

                                    Of course you can still run it on individual devices behind a pfSense router and it works like a dream.....

                                      @deanfourie I got far enough that you could connect and bridge your LAN to ZT. I haven't had time to dedicate to working on it anymore. The biggest issue is during an upgrade the package is removed which will lead to mismatched interfaces requiring reassignment at the console level.

                                      I was trying to get it to at least safely uninstall and remove the interfaces before an upgrade to avoid this.

                                        So just for anyone who may have missed it.... While there's no news on the ZeroTier front, Netgate have now launched a package for Tailscale (a service providing similar functionality to ZeroTier) on pfSense that is very easy to set up and works very nicely.
