I think zeroTier is meant to be easy whereas openVPN is versatile and can be configured in many ways.

One use case of a VPN is to connect two local networks together. Another is to have your traffic appear to be coming from a different geographical area.

In some cases you wouldn't want the local networks to be able to speak, like commercial VPN services, for security reasons.




Shouldn't these two cases/features have different names? They're completely different. Calling both "VPN" is wrong.
