Connecting several hundreds IoT (raspberry pi's) devices with a VPN
My plan is to set up an EC2 instance and host a VPN, considering options like Netmaker, OpenVPN, or Tailscale. The goal is to connect these devices to the VPN, enabling SSH access from any connected node. This method seems cost-effective(Considering I want to use 100s of devices and potentially 1000s) and straightforward, requiring a simple setup with a sudo apt command on the Raspberry Pi.

Remote access to a NAS from another location?
I'm wondering if there are any alternative approaches to achieve this. Is something like Netmaker or Tailscale feasible enough? If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

SD-WAN and SASE Solutions
While we've encountered some challenges and worked with vendors like Cisco to find solutions, I'm curious about recommendations for SD-WAN providers that are well-suited for SASE users. This includes not only Zscaler but also other options like Netmaker, Palo Alto, Cloudflare, Cisco, and Forcepoint.

Only allowing my home network to access all my EC2 Instances?
Now, my main question is how I can link my DDNS host endpoint with my EC2 instances, allowing only my home network to access them. I've come across a variety of suggestions, such as Netmaker, OpenVPN, Tailscale etc. but I'm curious to hear your opinions on these solutions.

Is there a way to bind ZeroTier with the Android Blue Iris app?
EDIT - I'm tired and cross-eyed after a bunch of internet searching and rabbit holes... A supposed ZeroTier dev said on April 25, 2023 that this would be addressed in a future release of the app in this thread: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/1952. On August 10th, another engineer said that they are waiting for a car to be delivered.

Lost the ZeroTier network interface in Debian - How do I restore this?
Sounds like your install is hosed in some way. This is beyond my knowledge, you should take this to the Zerotier forum (they barely monitor Reddit, as the automated comment said). Or search GitHub, eg this guy might be having the same issue as you: https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/1856
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Netmaker and ZeroTier you can also consider the following projects:
tailscale - The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.
Nebula - A scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security
headscale - An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server
netbird - Connect your devices into a single secure private WireGuard®-based mesh network with SSO/MFA and simple access controls.
firezone - Open-source VPN server and egress firewall for Linux built on WireGuard. Firezone is easy to set up (all dependencies are bundled thanks to Chef Omnibus), secure, performant, and self hostable.
cloudflared - Cloudflare Tunnel client (formerly Argo Tunnel)
Bypass_CGNAT - Wireguard setup to bypass CGNAT with a VPS
innernet - A private network system that uses WireGuard under the hood.
