ZeroTier One, first released in 2014,{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/releases/tag/0.9.2|title = Release VERSION 0.9.2: · zerotier/ZeroTierOne| website=GitHub }} is a portable client application that provides connectivity to public or private virtual networks.

Client

The ZeroTier client is used to connect to virtual networks previously created in the ZeroTier Central web-based UI. Endpoint connections are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted. STUN and hole punching are used to establish direct connections between peers behind NAT. Direct connection route discovery is made with the help of a global network of root servers via a mechanism similar to ICE in WebRTC.

Controller

Virtual networks are created and managed using a ZeroTier controller. Management is done using an API, proprietary web-based UI ([https://my.zerotier.com ZeroTier Central]), open-source web-based.{{Citation |last=pandada8 |title=zt-panel |date=2021-08-18 |url=https://github.com/pandada8/zt-panel |access-date=2023-02-02}}{{Citation |last=key-networks |title=ztncui - ZeroTier network controller user interface |date=2023-02-02 |url=https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui |access-date=2023-02-02}}
