About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

This app/service used to work flawlessly. Then an update in the last week broke everything. It constantly has to be cycled to get a connection after my phone roams from cell/wifi, half the time I can't access my remote server, and the other half it is slow slow slow slow. I've used this to access a security system over starlink without issue for over a year. Truly a fantastic service. But I'm now looking for an alternate. This is not a user/config error. They broke something in the last version

The mobile app needs some work. I love zerotier, I use it for so many things and it's supported by so many platforms, but the mobile app really needs a rethinking of it's functionality. I'd like to see the ability for always on VPN, while being connected to multiple networks at once. It's just not practical to use as is. I may as well just get my laptop out and be connected to everything all at once.

When NordVPN finally discontinues Meshnet, I'm now prepared with ZeroTier. was easy to set up and works well. Definitely the best alternative to ngrok or others. The UI could use some tweaking, but overall the best choice.
