#### Securely connect any device, anywhere.

ZeroTier is a software-based managed Ethernet switch for planet Earth. Use it to connect your
desktop clients, servers, phones, NAS, or even individual applications (using our SDK).

This snap contains ZeroTier One, a service that provides ZeroTier network connectivity and
makes joining virtual networks as easy as joining IRC or Slack channels. Apps for Android
and iOS are available for free in the Google Play and Apple app stores.

ZeroTier eliminates the LAN/WAN distinction and makes VPNs, tunnels, proxies, and other kludges
arising from the inflexible nature of physical networks obsolete. Everything is encrypted
end-to-end and traffic takes the most direct (peer to peer) path available.

Install (be sure to use sudo)

sudo snap install zerotier

Join your network

sudo zerotier join <nwid>
sudo zerotier status

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install zerotier

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.
