CLI
Mac and Windows platforms have graphical interfaces that provide tray or task bar icons. All platforms have the zerotier-cli command line interface which can be used to join and leave networks and check the status of the zerotier-one service.
On Unix-like systems you may need to preface zerotier-cli commands with sudo, while on Windows you will need to use an administrator-mode command prompt.
Basic CLI usage
Get your ZeroTier address and check the service status
zerotier-cli status

Join, leave, and list networks. Remember, ZeroTier networks are 16-digit IDs that look like
8056c2e21c000001
zerotier-cli join ################
200 join OK
zerotier-cli leave ################
200 leave OK
zerotier-cli listnetworks
200 listnetworks 8056c2e21c000001 earth.zerotier.net 02:99:35:84:f9:dc OK PUBLIC 29.152.27.109/7
If you see missing authentication token and authtoken.secret not found (or readable) you're likely trying to run zerotier-cli from a non-administrative account. On macOS, Linux, or other Unix based systems, use sudo zerotier-cli. On Windows, use an Administrator Command Prompt.
