All About "Connect" Feature Testing #12
Description
First of All, Thanks!
❤️ Thank you very much for participating in ZimaOS Open Test!
About "Connect"
"Connect" is a breakthrough feature that we wanted to create. We wanted it to be able to allow users to have a direct peer-to-peer connection with their ZimaOS, anytime, anywhere, with end-to-end encryption, without using a central cloud service as much as possible.
How it works
The "Connect" is established when you connect using the Zima client by scanning or entering your network ID and logging in.
Zima client will automatically handle changes in the network environment and switch the connection method automatically. This ensures that the client functions as if it were local. Includes "Open Dashboard", "PeerDrop", "Backup" and "Open In Finder/Explorer" etc.
Testing Purpose
- Ensure worldwide availability of functions
- Ensure stability over time

Other Notes
- Currently, the desktop client only supports Windows and macOS. Linux is not supported.
- The client automatically installs ZeroTier upon startup, which is normal for this testing.
- Don't share your network ID public if you don't have to. although the security risk is very low.
- If you've used ZeroTier, keep in mind that this is not the same as a normal ZeroTier network setup.
The "Connect" network controller is deployed on ZimaOS and is not managed by ZeroTier Inc (not ZeroTier Central) or others.
