Using the ZeroTier application instead of port forwarding

ZeroTier setup

This guide will help you create a Skyrim Together Reborn server, using the ZeroTier software.

The wonderful thing about ZeroTier is that it can connect people without the need for port forwarding. This is essentially the same as how Hamachi or Radmin works.

Before we begin installing and configuring ZeroTier, we must first configure the server. We will locate and launch SkyrimTogetherServer.exe, and the guide will walk you through the various configuration options and what they do.

It's critical that you've followed the guide so far, so that we're on the same page. Otherwise, you'll have to figure out the paths for yourself. If you've followed this guide so far, you can take the same paths I do, making everything easier.
