A Guide About Installing ZeroTier on ASUS AC68U Router

[swanie]

Awesome solution. I was amazed at how Merlin can add this opportunity - and superkudos to you for coming up with this solution. Anyone stuck behind Starlink CGNAT this is an awesome solution.

I've only got one problem that is probably an oversight on my newbie skillet. It seems when the router reboots, ZT does not automatically start. I have to ssh in and manually enter mod probe tun, zerotier -one -d, zerotier-cli info....any thoughts on which script or setting will cause this to run after boot.?

Than,s!.

Not undermining ZT in any way as it has it’s own advantages, but if you’re stuck behind CGNAT (I am) and are after an alternative to ZT that is easy to install and configure from Merlin/amtm, you might want to consider Tailscale (you can install it via the amtm Addon Tailmon).

I believe I have placed the booting script at the top of the thread; you can find it in the script.

hello, I have a problem with installing zerotier on ax6000. After restoring factory settings, I will not be able to run Zerotier. I get the following message.

mie@GT-AX6000:/tmp/home/root# zerotier-one -d

mie@GT-AX6000:/tmp/home/root# Starting Control Plane...
Starting V6 Control Plane...

mie@GT-AX6000:/tmp/home/root# zerotier-cli info

Error connecting to the ZeroTier service: connection failed
Please check that the service is running and that TCP port 9993 can be contacted via 127.0.0.1.

Do you have any idea what's going on?

Exact same error. Trying on GT-AXE1600.

Hangs on Starting V6 Control Plane. and gives the same error if I try the zerotier-cli info command while the hang isn't finished.

no one has any idea what's wrong?

Just use Tailscale. I installed Tailscale in AMTM and it worked immediately. Tailscale seems to be the superior product, at least if getting something that immediately works out of the box is what you want.
