(GL-MT6000) Zerotier was working, but suddenly stopped working with no changes on my side

I had activated ZeroTier when I first got the router, and I was able to access my LAN devices from my phone when I was away from home. This was exactly what I wanted. My LAN is 192.168.2.0/24.

At some point recently, it stopped working - not sure exactly when, but when I tried to access it, it just didn't work. I've tried everything I can think of to resolve, and read lots of posts here, but I'm completely stuck.

Firmware is updated. I have performed a factory reset of the device and reconfigured everything the same way (I believe). Zerotier Central shows my devices, and gives them an IP address, and both devices (router and phone) connect to ZeroTier. I can ping the zerotier addresses of the 2 devices (phone can ping router, and vice versa), but the phone cannot access the LAN. It cannot ping or connect to any other device on the LAN, except for the router via the zerotier IP address. ie. No connection to 192.168.2.1 (router webpage).

I have access to SSH on the router. I can attach any config files or screenshots if needed.

It looks like the router isn't allowing packets from zerotier through to the LAN, but I can't figure out why. The configuration seems ok to me but I'm a bit out of my depth with network stuff this deep.


You need to add the routes in Zerotier center:


D: 192.168.2.0/24, VIA: The router Zerotier IP, like 192.168.196.194

Thank you so much, it works!

I'm certain I had tried adding that route previously, but maybe I messed something up. Either way, thank you for the quick response.
