ZeroTier Adapter

I recently changed my ISP to Starlink, which has been great except now I can't remotely view my cameras. I stumbled across ZeroTier and decided to set it up. I followed the instruction in a youtube video (https://youtu.be/dmqrK2Fomqw) and got everything installed, but when I restart BI5 and try to change the adapter I still only have my original. So far I've been unsuccessful in finding a solution. Has anyone else had this issue?

How I have my ZeroTier setup is in BI I have the ZeroTier IP as the WAN IP, see the below screenshot and in the mobile app I also have the WAN IP set to ZeroTier IP. All LAN IPs I leave unchanged.

Hi, I am unable to click on your picture. Can you send it to me ? I am in the same situation as above. Blueiris won't see Zerotier adapter in Blueiris.

I have tried delaying the Blue Iris service to give ZeroTier time to load but I'm not sure why the adatper is not coming up still.

My working ZeroTier settings between BI5 server and android mobile:

BI5 settings/ Webserver
LAN = No change. The normal home router static IP address of the BI5 server on my LAN. It doesn't need anything more as long as the BI5 server also has a ZT IP. I note I can see the ZT IP address in "Adaptors".
WAN = Empty. There is no WAN connection now as you use the virtual ZT LAN wherever you are.

BI5 android app settings
LAN = <ZeroTier IP of BI5 server>:81
WAN = <ZeroTier IP of BI5 server>:81

I'm not sure if I need the WAN details on the android, but it works (as long as you have enabled both devices in ZT) so I will leave it alone. Maybe you do if the BI5 app figures out you are no longer on wifi and it tries to connect to WAN. IFIRC I was able to PING the mobile devices ZT IP address from the BI5 server with the mobile device using mobile data.

Let us know if that gets you sorted :D
