### 2/5 — Custom planet UI removed in 1.16.0 — please restore

*2026-05-09, version 1.16.0*

I'm a long-time ZeroTier user running my own root server (custom planet). On version 1.14.2 the iOS app had a
  gear/settings icon in the top-right corner that opened a screen where I could paste my base64-encoded planet file. It
  worked reliably and was the reason I was able to use ZeroTier on iPhone at all.

  After updating to 1.16.0, that settings icon is gone. There is no visible way inside the app to import or edit a
  custom planet anymore.

  I understand from the official 1.16 release blog post that the intended new flow is to scan a QR code from
  joinzt.com/addplanet via the iPhone's system camera, which should then deep-link into the app via a universal link and
   prompt to import the planet. In practice this does not work for me on 1.16.0:

  - The system camera recognizes the URL but tapping the banner just opens the joinzt.com page in Safari; the ZeroTier
  app is never launched.
  - Scanning the same QR code from inside the ZeroTier app's own scanner does nothing — that scanner appears to only
  accept 16-hex network IDs.
  - Reinstalling the app did not restore the universal-link association.

  The result is that custom planet support, which the release notes explicitly highlight as a 1.16 feature for power
  users, is effectively unreachable on iOS. This is also reported in GitHub issue #2518, with multiple users describing
  the same regression.

  Please either:
  1. Bring back the in-app settings screen for pasting a base64 planet (as in 1.14.2), or
  2. Fix the universal-link handling so the joinzt.com QR / URL flow actually launches the app and triggers the import
  dialog.

  Until then, anyone running their own roots is stuck and cannot downgrade through the App Store. Thanks for considering
   — ZeroTier is otherwise a great product and I'd like to keep using it on iPhone.

### 3/5 — Failed to login on iOS 16.6

*2026-04-11, version 1.16.0*

Failed to login on iOS 16.6

Just a flash,then failed

It has been authorized

### 4/5 — plz add custom planet configuration

### 2/5 — ui error in iOS 26

*2025-10-28, version 1.16.0*

I meet the same problem that I can't see the setting butoom in ios26 to set my planet

### 4/5 — Wifi exceptions

*2025-10-23, version 1.16.0*

Would be great if the app allowed you to disable the connection when on a wifi that is already part of the network, negating the need for ZT.

### 2/5 — when can add moon？？？

*2025-10-12, version 1.16.0*

强烈建议增加自定义moon地址

### 3/5 — Unable to reconnect

*2025-09-17, version 1.16.0*

Performance is the biggest issue with zerotier now. Under the same high speed local network condition, wireguard can run close to the raw network performance while zerotier can only do half of that.

### 3/5 — An issue

### 4/5 — Add Network confirm button

*2024-09-17, version 1.14.0*

When I entered the Network ID,I didn’t know what to do.As a novice,please forgive my stupidity.
Can it be set as a button ？It will be much better if people can recognize it at a glance and clicked the button.

### 1/5 — please open moons setting

*2024-06-21, version 1.14.0*

please open moons setting

*2026-01-27, version 1.16.0*

Why remove the feature for custom root in latest version？

### 5/5 — Love this software

*2025-09-18, version 1.16.0*

I’ve been using ZeroTier for probably 10 years and it’s become my go to way to get access into my personal network infra as well as for my clients networks. The app is a little barebones but that can be a plus when you just want to get stuff done quickly and reliably. Great work guys and thanks

### 5/5 — almost perfect

but couldn't work with shadowrocket

### 5/5 — Worked Straight Away

*2024-08-21, version 1.14.0*

### 5/5 — need help pls

*2024-05-28, version 1.14.0*

It is necessary to be compatible with the use of custom planet. By importing or customizing planet configurations, configuration keys or planet files can be imported for implementation.

### 5/5 — Mejor app VPN virtual

*2024-04-26*

Para mí el mejor servicio de VPN virtual, hasta 25 equipos de forma gratis y velocidades aceptables. Perfecta para conectarte a servidores sin abrir puertos.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2024-01-31*

Resumen:
- Fácil de instalar.
- Fácil de configurar.
- y un cortafuegos potente y a la carta.
