Zerotier One as a package - $100USD

pikkaachu

I'd like to see a Zerotier one package on pfsense with the controller switch activated.

a Gui under services to join/leave networks and create networks yourself.

Website: https://www.zerotier.com

Github: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne

FreeBSD Ports: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/net/zerotier/

The service has a built in http api, so calling it from the pfsense web interface should be rather easy.

Ill start bidding by chipping in $100 USD

R u suggesting this as a possible Von solution instead of openvpn and IPSec Von client? If yes interesting. Reminds me of logmein hamachi

sschueller

This would be a very cool feature especially if we can run our own controller on pfsense. I would be willing to add $50 on top.

I'll chip in another $100 !!

brandur

Count me in for 50$ USD

luckman212

Anyone else? Looks like we're up to $300 so far. Can the OP update the post title so the correct amount shows up on the list view?

I've created a package for pfSense that implements an interface to ZeroTier.

Currently it has the following functionality:

Join ZeroTier networks from GUI
Leave ZeroTier networks from GUI
View ZeroTier network status from GUI
Enable Controller function on underlying ZeroTier package

I've attached a demo video of this functionality here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/500242/pfSense_ZeroTier.m4v

This meets everyones requirements with the exception of "creating networks", ie. the controller interface. The controller interface is a complex piece and will require much more work.

Is everyone still on board with their bounty's? Anybody else wanting to contribute?

luckman212

thanks zev for doing this - I am definitely still in for the bounty, can't speak for the others. I haven't had a chance to watch the video just yet but I am going to check it out this weekend. I don't know how the payment works when it's split like this, do we just send $ via paypal individually, or put it into a escrow account or something?

luckman212

Guys?

brandur

Very nice work so far man :)
I'm still in.

Just let me know how/where etc. as I haven't payed a bounty before.

Hi, found my way here from googletron.

I'll gladly pitch in $20 USD. Sorry I can't afford more.

zevlag

Ok, I've completed the package, it functions well.

Here is a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0L_C7_LUgY

Here is how I see this happening. I will distribute the package to you manually once I have received your bounty payment. I would like to see the bounty total hit $400. This will allow me to update it once the upstream zerotier package is updated by the port maintainer as the API changes a bit in the newer versions. Once all bounty payments have been received, I will work to have this package accepted into the repo for proper distribution.

~~Arffeh - $30~~
~~brandur - $50~~
~~luckman212 - $100~~
sschueller - $50
pikkaachu - $100
–----------------
Total - $330

If you can use cash.me, no fees are charged on either side: https://cash.me/$zevlag
If you need to use paypal, if you choose friends and family there are no fees, otherwise, it's 3% fee. https://www.paypal.me/zevlag

Include your email address as a note, and I'll get you the packages ASAP.

Please report any bugs/issues you have with this.

Will do when I get home later today…

Question on this- I thought that the way it worked was the bounty was to fund the package but then it would get released "for all to enjoy" - I didn't realize it was going to be something sent out-of-band. Is that always the way it works? For a few reasons, not the least of which is to have it more easily installable via the normal package manager system.

Arffeh

Sent $30. Im sorry i cant afford more. :(

Luckman212,

I fully intend for it to be released for all to enjoy. I'm just using the staged release as a means of escrow to encourage those who have committed bounty funds to send them. I don't know what usually happens with this.

luckman212

Ok got it. Sounds fair - just sent my $100 :)

brandur

I'm having issues with the(a) transfer.
I sent you a PM.

brandur

Issue resolved and 50 USD coming your way ;)
Thanks

luckman212

Cool looks like things are moving along. Zev have you received all funds yet?

Have you guys installed the pkg yet? I haven't had the time just yet. How's it working for you?

zevlag

I've not heard from sschueller - $50 or pikkaachu - $100 yet.

Thank you everyone else for being prompt.
