> "feeling like it's not a good fit for me, and indiehosters in general."

Maintainer here so I'm gonna be biased with this hot take, but I really don't agree with this particular sentiment.

I would turn it around instead and say that most indie hosters are maybe not looking for the levels of protection a zero trust overlay network provides. That is a believable reason for me why it might be perceived as not a good fit. If you're not looking for the sort of security that OpenZiti affords the operator, it will certainly feel less of a fit than a classic VPN-like solution. It also focuses on a different paradigm wrt connectivity centered around individual services. That does mean the learning curve is absolutely steeper because it's not "just IP" and all our years of ip-based-know-how are useful, but not to make the most of the system. While one can use IP/L3/L4 just fine with OpenZiti, it's certainly not trying to be an IP-based VPN (like many of the other solutions are). That also might lead to feeling like it's not a great fit.

For the people who want the sort of security OpenZiti provides, however. It really is an easy-to-use (my bias showing) solution that plenty of indie hosters use already. :)

Not trying to sound too defensive here (a little is ok, right?) but I also appreciate the comments and feedback, thank you!
