Hello, I am wondering if I can use OpenZiti with GNS3 to simulate a Zero Trust network. If so, I would like to know if anyone has already done this before and can explain to me how.

GNS3 is a network emulator where you can emulate entire network architectures including switches, routers, hosts and other various components. And by emulator it is meant that it emulates 100% of what you'll see in the outside world, so there's no difference. Running OpenZiti inside GNS3 is no different than running it outside. If you’re just getting started, I’d recommend familiarizing yourself with GNS3 first , ho…
