I can’t speak to that specific product and how it works, but putting ZeroTier on a router is certainly supported. In fact, if you’re trying to use ZeroTier to route between subnets, that’s how I recommend doing it. Rather than use something like Windows or Ubuntu, you can easily use either a physical router like you’re using, or one of the many great and free Linux/BSD based Network OS images (VyOS, OpenWRT, OPNsense, etc…). When you deploy ZeroTier like this, all of the additional knobs that you need to tune for routing are already done for you.

When you install it on a router, and point clients to it, it creates an easy remote access VPN solution to allow users secure access to resources or the internet…or at least as secure as you make it.

If you put it on 2 routers at different locations, you can create an easy site-to-site VPN to route internal traffic between sites…

What use case are you trying to achieve?

ZeroTier is not one-to-one replacement for provider-based VPN service.
