This version introduces a major new feature requested by several users, both via the user survey and otherwise: TCP tunneling. If you are not able to communicate over UDP/9993, ZeroTier One will switch to TCP connections to ZeroTier's supernodes. This is always slower than UDP, but will allow you to communicate behind all but the most extremely restrictive firewalls. This TCP traffic travels over port 443 and looks like HTTPS (SSL) traffic (though it isn't), since that port is almost always open. This also fixes several minor bugs and attempts to improve the robustness of Windows tap driver management. Several users have reported spurious issues with the Windows tap device, though I was unable to reproduce any of these with clean VMs. (Tried Windows 7 and 8.1, both x86 and x64. No luck.) But I tried to beef up the tap code anyway in the hopes of catching it. It now tries a lot harder to make sure the tap is up and running. There was some significant under the hood refactoring in support of TCP, so this was a non-trivial change. I bumped the version to 0.8 to indicate that more and more features are being crossed off the list as we approach 1.0 and exit from beta. After this, the next major feature will be LAN announcement to find direct paths to peers on the same physical LAN. But assuming that 0.8.0 goes smoothly, I am going to divert attention to the web site. A new design is coming that is much cleaner, sharper, and easier to use. Thank you all for all your excellent feedback! We're well on the way to a killer product that makes conventional VPNs and other kludges obsolete. |
