Reset ZeroTier Node Address
How to clear or reset your ZeroTier address
If you would like to clear or reset ZeroTier's address on a device (the 10-digit address node ID) or you have cloned a device and you want to prevent it from using the same address, follow these steps in order:
Step 1. Stop the service
On Windows
On Windows this is done with the service manager. (Open the Start Menu and start typing "service")
On macOS
On macOS you can open a terminal and use
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.zerotier.one.plist
On Linux
This is usually
sudo systemctl stop zerotier-one
or
sudo service zerotier-one stop
Step 2. Delete the files identity.public and identity.secret from ZeroTier's working directory
- On Windows this is usually
\ProgramData\ZeroTier\One
- On Mac this is
/Library/Application Support/ZeroTier/One
in your terminal, type open/Library/Application Support/ZeroTier/One
to open the folder in Finder. - On Linux this is usually
/var/lib/zerotier-one
Step 3. Restart the service
On Windows
Starting via the service manager on Windows
On Mac
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.zerotier.one.plist
On Linux
sudo systemctl start zerotier-one
or
sudo service zerotier-one start
When started without identities ZeroTier will generate new ones. You will need to authorize this new identity on any networks.
