> Can the ZeroTier client create a tunnel without root access? That's the biggest weakness of WireGuard IMO.

No idea about ZeroTier, but you should be able to use WireGuard without root access using the userspace implementation in Go[0] (that's the one used in non-rooted Android phones, Windows, and maybe the BSDs)

I tried wireguard-go and it required root to create a tunnel. I wonder if it would be possible to adapt it to forward to a local port rather than mapping directly to a network interface.
