Description

I was going to intall the snap of zerotier from the Ubuntu store, but when I saw the version (below) I'm wondering if it's wise to do do. It says it hasn't been updated since November of last year.

What is the timeline for updating this? Any time soon?

thanks

ZeroTier is a software-based managed Ethernet switch for planet Earth. Use
it to connect your
desktop clients, servers, phones, NAS, or even individual applications

This snap contains ZeroTier One, a service that provides ZeroTier network
connectivity and
makes joining virtual networks as easy as joining IRC or Slack channels.
Apps for Android

ZeroTier eliminates the LAN/WAN distinction and makes VPNs, tunnels,
proxies, and other kludges
arising from the inflexible nature of physical networks obsolete.
Everything is encrypted
end-to-end and traffic takes the most direct (peer to peer) path available.
