It's intended to replace conventional hub-and-spoke VPNs, provide provider-neutral secure private backplane networks to multi-data-center and hybrid cloud deployments, allow remote access to embedded devices, and much more.
-ZeroTier uses a peer to peer network with managed anchor points ("supernodes"). These are operated by ZeroTier Networks, and are free to use. They provides instant "zero configuration" startup, NAT traversal assistance, relaying in cases where NAT traversal doesn't work, and a trusted root authority for looking up peer public keys (identities). The supernodes run the same open-source software as regular nodes, are geographically distributed across three continents, and have remained stable for over a year. [This blog post](http://adamierymenko.com/decentralization-i-want-to-believe/) discusses the design rationale in some detail.

ZeroTier One encrypts all traffic end-to-end with keys that only you control. Even when traffic is traversing our network we cannot decrypt it. It's not, however, a "strong privacy" tool since it would still be possible for us (or your ISP or anyone else in between) to observe "meta-data" about your traffic. If you need *that* level of anonymity, we recommend [Tor](https://www.torproject.org) or something similar. Onion routing is the only technology we're aware of that is capable of delivering that level of end-to-end privacy protection.
