About ZeroTier One
ZeroTier One for Android allows you to join ZeroTier virtual networks as VPN connections on your Android phone or tablet device.
ZeroTier creates peer to peer virtual Ethernet networks that work anywhere. It's used as a faster alternative to VPNs, to provide a seamless hybrid or multi-site/multi-provider cloud backplane, for remote collaboration and distributed teams, and for Internet of Things (IoT) applications to provide direct end-to-end connectivity to specialized devices.
See https://www.zerotier.com/ for more information and clients for other platforms including Linux, Macintosh, Windows, and BSD Unix. ZeroTier's core engine is open source and can be found here: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne
This app provides virtual network endpoint functionality for Android mobile devices. To join a virtual network from an Android device:
(1) Install the app, launch it, and click the "connect" button in the bottom right corner. This toggles whether or not ZeroTier is online.
(2) If you want to use cellular data, tap the wrench button (preferences) and check the appropriate box. Otherwise only WiFi data will be used and the connection will go offline when on cellular.
(3) Tap the plus sign button (join a network) in the top bar and enter the 16-digit ZeroTier network ID of the network you want to join.
There are currently two limitations, both of which will likely disappear in the future:
(1) Right now due to Android API limitations you can only join one network at a time. Joining a new network will leave the previous one. The app maintains a history of networks you've joined so it's easy to switch.
(2) The Android client currently doesn't support IPv6 addressing on networks and will ignore IPv6 address assignments. (It will, however, communicate over the IPv6 Internet with other peers if possible.)
If you encounter any bugs or serious issues please e-mail support@zerotier.com for help and we'll try to fix them as soon as we can!

I reckon that one has to restart the device for it work properly, I am still not sure about the 'add' button for me it somehow was able to recall my network settings after restart...

It seems that current version (1.2.5-3) dies quite often when it's in background, when it's dead, no controls work, the GUI is simply frozen, and all I can do is force stop it.

As with others, I am unable to join a network. I have rotated the display, and restarted the app and then phone when that didn't work. I gave 4 stars for an epic service and I'd LOVE to give 5 stars for a fully functional app! My phone is Samsung Note 4 on Android 6.0.1, thanks!

On my BLU R1 HD (Android 6.0), this works perfectly well—no problems with accessing anything else while ZeroTier One is connected. On my Samsung Galaxy S4 (Android 5.0.1) however, whenever I connect to ZeroTier one, I can't resolve any DNS queries. Previously, when I didn't have my R1 HD, I rated this app 2 stars since I thought that was the fault of the ZeroTier One team, but now, I'm inclined to think it was the fault of the Android VPN API in Android 5.0.1.

It's a great way to stay connected with my home network. I've been using it to monitor my home made IoT sensors.

This application was clearly created by the gods amongst men. It is easy to overlook the effort put into the application suite by the team, but I cannot give ZeroTier enough praise. I stumbled upon ZeroTier while looking for a Hamachi-like solution that was multiplatform, but ZeroTier turned out to be so much more than that. An open source, multiplatform, P2P VPN with web based network management that actually makes sense? I still thing it's too good to be true. ZeroTier has made my digital world smaller and bigger at the same time. Keep up the good work, guys. Don't think it goes unnoticed.

This is fantastic! Install apache guacamole on a computer on the same ZT network and then you can remotely and securely access anything from anywhere! Love it.

Once the network is added, it's great, but I cannot for the life of me get the join network button to light up for interaction on my Nexus 6. I've twisted, danced, yelled, and offered blessings to the gods and it just won't work. But, I have it on another device and it's fantastic. Have no choice but to leave mediocre review for lack of functionality on phones.

This review is only for the Android app. The service itself is fantastic! I've encountered many problems with the app. The add network button doesn't work most of the time. I have to rotate the display, long press, and hope to get it to work. The keyboard override for entering network details is awkward. I'd rather use my own keyboard since I'm already used to it. The connect / disconnect is very confusing because it doesn't show which network you are connecting to. As it stands, the app's shortcomings are disappointing considering how great the rest of the service is.

My comments pertain to the app itself and not the overall service (which is wonderful, btw). The app works very well, and I'm impressed. One bug I am having, however, is that after I leave the network and disconnect from ZeroTier from within the app, it does not kill the VPN connection in the Android operating system. In order to cut it off after every use, I have to manually go into my settings and disable the VPN connection for ZeroTier. Running Android 6.0 on Nexus 6P.

I very much like the whole concept, but actual speeds of 16-200 kb/s while I am connected to the same wifi as the server are really not practical these days. PCs connected to the same wifi get 2-5 mb/s and so do direct android connections bypassing the virtual segment, so it's something to do with the android app itself.

Join network button didn't work on my Nexus 5. Had to go into landscape for the button to trigger! Other than that, works great so far. Edit for the dev: It was not too small. It simply didn't register the click.

This is an awesome tool. One request, to show the network name in the recent history. It's hard to tell which network is which just from the ID.

The add network button seems to not be working. Not sure if it's related to using cellular data instead of wifi. The service is amazing, but the app needs more development.
