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

Vaulta keeps your most important documents — passports, deeds, wills, medical records — encrypted on your device and split across cloud storage you already own. HOW IT WORKS Every file is encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before it ever leaves. It is then split into three parts: block A goes to your first cloud, block B to your second cloud, and only a key under 1 KB stays with Vaulta. No single location holds enough to reconstruct anything. ZERO KNOWLEDGE BY DESIGN We never receive your file contents and never receive your cloud credentials. Your clouds are connected by opening their own sign-in page — we only store the folder link you paste. Even a full breach of our servers cannot reveal your documents, because we simply do not have them. YOU KEEP THE KEYS Your identity key is generated on your device and protected by a gesture code. Choose a random key or a memorable 12-word recovery phrase, and set three security questions so you can recover access if you forget your gesture. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE • Organise documents into folders and categories • Restore files on a new device by importing your key • Transfer directly between your own devices • Share a group with family or your lawyer • Emergency access lets a trusted person request your vault after a waiting period you control • One-tap reassemble works offline, without an account WHAT VAULTA IS NOT Vaulta is not another cloud drive. We do not host your documents and we cannot read them. Your files live in the storage you already trust, mathematically split so that no one party — including us — can put them back together alone.
