Help access ZeroTier self-hosted controller from outside
Hi I installed a self-hosted controller (ZtNet) one a server at my home, and installed ZeroTier clients on various devices at home.
I have two issues :
-
I can’t connect to my self-hosted controller using ZeroTier network because it doesn’t have a ZeroTier IP, I can only connect to it from inside of my LAN through its « normal » IP adress
-
I can ping and ssh into one of my servers from my University network, however I can’t ping or ssh into the other.
Both of the servers are connected to the ZT network. I tried pinging from my Mac and iPhone from the WiFi and it doesn’t work, using 5G works.
I have configured a VM to route traffic to my home subnet so I can reach devices not running a client, but a the moment of the test I disabled the option on my Mac (I unchecked Default Route Override).
What am I doing wrong ?

Just open the port for the controller if you don't want to read the "boring" docs.
Edit. Read what are planets/moons and what is their difference to controllers and why controller doesn't have ZT interface and IP and it should be accessible from outside.
Step 5 is what I did to allow me to access my ztnc. It's configured in a Ubuntu VM. I have ztncui from keynetworks for my hosted controller on the same VM.
