ZeroTier One for iOS allows you to join ZeroTier virtual networks as VPN connections on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. ZeroTier creates secure peer-to-peer virtual Ethernet networks that work anywhere. Skip the VPN hassles. Connect hybrid clouds, remote teams, and IoT devices directly with no hardware required. ZeroTier One provides virtual network endpoint functionality for iOS devices. Getting started takes seconds: Just tap '+', enter your network ID and name, and then click ‘join network.’ (Once a network is added you can also join it via the iOS VPN control panel. It will appear there as an available VPN connection.) You can only join one ZeroTier network at once due to an iOS limitation of one VPN connection per network extension app. The app allows you to add multiple networks but if you flip one to 'on' any others currently joined will disconnect. We value your feedback! If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for future improvements, please contact our support team through our website. Thanks for using ZeroTier! Clients for other platforms are available on https://www.zerotier.com/ and source code to ZeroTier's core engine can be found here: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne

If you're running a game server this app will be a must have! Send commands remotely through the RCON, be updated on what happens on the server, manage everything thanks to your mobile device. Supported Game Servers: • Minecraft; • Ark: Survival Evolved (supports the GetChat)*; • Rust**; • SRCDS Servers (Source RCON Protocol); • Counter Strike: Global Offensive; • Counter Strike: Source; • Team Fortress 2; • Insurgency; • Day of Defeat: Source; • Garry's Mod; • Half Life 2: Deathmatch; • Left 4 Dead 2; • Conan Exiles; • Reflex; What does the app offer? You will be able to manage your server sending commands remotely through the RCON just like if you were typing on the server console. This includes any command supported by the game server. After the command is typed you will see the server response, for example if you have typed "status" in a Garry's Mod server you would receive all the information regarding the server status including name, players, etc. The app supports any command supported by the game server. You will also be able to kick, ban and send broadcast messages! *The port parameter refers to the Rcon port chosen using the ?RCONPort=xxxxx? command at the server startup. **Add +rcon.web 0 at server startup or the authentication will not work. Port refers to the rcon.port value (default 28016) which can be set at the server startup, not the server port. The app has been tested on pc game servers, it is not guaranteed that it will also work for console games. For any question don't hesitate to contact the support.
