How to install Zerotier?

[no_connection]

Since both iX and ZT are bickering and pointing fingers like children about it instead of working out a solution I have to rely on someone else figure out how to reliably get ZT on FN.
"Package ZeroTier (labeled as such) and distribute it for free in an app store or other software repository "
That would mean it can be packaged as a plugin just like any other software in there.

There is also the option to install it directly but how would that be made reliable and non breaking?

Last I heard, ZT had changed licenses to one that wasn't compatible with the BSD license, so iX removed ZT beginning with 11.3. Small loss, though; it's only with the greatest charity that FreeNAS' previous support for ZT could be described as "half-assed." Why can't it be installed in a jail like, well, pretty much anything else?

According to ZT there is no problem to integrate it to FN and it was 100% a decision from iX to pull it.
After a lot of poking cause they would not give a decent answer they finally replied that to use it in TrueNAS they would have needed a commercial license, but ZT would not respond any further when I pointed out there is no applicable option on the license page. Only a "contact us" option.
ZT says they got contacted a while back by iX and replied with some questions but iX never got back to them.

Would that add a NIC to FN and also allow bridging with a physical NIC or vlan?

I'd assume so--others are installing OpenVPN at least (and I think other VPN solutions too) in jails, and I'd expect they'd have similar requirements.

Well that is a fail.

pkg install zerotier, OTOH, seems to work perfectly.
