## Set up the RaspiBlitz for remote connections with ZeroTier
ZeroTier is a VPN service which is an easy option to connect remotely when neither port forwarding nor using Tor is possible (e.g. iOS on a remote network)
The drawback is that it requires installing a trusted (open-source) package which gives access to your private network.
Steps to install:
* Create a my.zerotier.com account and a network
* Go to https://my.zerotier.com/login and register.
Use a STRONG PASSWORD as anyone with your credentials will have access to your private network.
* Click `Create a network` then record your `Network ID`.
* Install ZeroTier on the RaspiBlitz (more details on https://www.zerotier.com/download.shtml):
```
$ curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/master/doc/contact%40zerotier.com.gpg' | gpg --import && \
if z=$(curl -s 'https://install.zerotier.com/' | gpg); then echo "$z" | sudo bash; fi
```
* Then run:
`$ sudo zerotier-cli join [the network ID you previously recorded]`
* Install ZeroTier on your other devices: iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. Use the same `network ID` you recorded before.
* Open https://my.zerotier.com `Networks` menu and accept the new devices pending approval.
* On the Raspiblitz modify the lnd.conf manually:
`$ sudo nano /mnt/hdd/lnd/lnd.conf`
add the line:
```
tlsextraip=172.X
```
CTRL+O and ENTER to save, CTRL+X to exit
Restart LND and unlock:
`$ sudo systemctl restart lnd`
`$ lncli unlock`
* Renew the TLS certificates either from the EXPORT menu or run:
`$ ./config.scripts/lnd.newtlscert.sh`
After setting up and activating ZeroTier on my Android phone successfully tested:
* ZeusLN using the IP 172.x.x.x and port 8080
* RTL from the outside on my 172.x.x.x:3000 address
* Termius to connect with ssh to admin@172.x.x.x
---
* To uninstall run:
```bash
$ sudo systemctl stop zerotier-one
$ sudo apt remove zerotier-one
$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/zerotier-one
```
