Solved ZeroTier 1.6.0 spiking bandwidth

[JaredBusch]

Does anyone else have ZeroTier 1.6.0 rolled out? It was jsut pushed to chocolatey on Sunday.

It is killing one of my clients.

The EdgeMax graph doesn't look bad, because I only have 3 devices with the ZeroTier service running at the moment. But watch the network usage in Task Manager..

The monthly UNMS graph only updates every 8 hours. so it will be a while before you see it "normal" on this, but you can see when it went to hell.

It does not seem to be affecting the Linux versions. Only Windows.

Looks like they found it. @adam-ierymenko's team seems solid.

@JaredBusch I have a single ZeroTier on Windows that I just realized hasn't been updated since I first installed it. I'll get it updated and see how it acts.

For some reason, it would not downgrade like normal within chocolatey

So I did an uninstall, reinstall of version 1.4.6, then pinned version 1.4.6 so it will not upgrade when the daily task fires that uprgades all packages.

choco uninstall zerotier-one -y 
choco install zerotier-one --version=1.4.6 -y
choco pin add -n=zerotier-one

Of course I did it all via ScreenConnect.

This is what a pin does:
