Hi. I have setup a raspberry pi 3b+ server at my house. I used open media vault 5 to setup my network shares. Originally when planning the project I thought I was going to use an OS with a desktop. I was going to use TeamViewer to access the server remotely. Though as I now know. Setting up a NAS on an OS with a desktop environment is annoying.

I found a program called ZeroTier. I was wondering if this could be used to remotely access the NAS.

It did nothing for a while, and eventually threw some errors quickly on the screen. The image shows the last of it. This happens with wlan0 or eth0.
