Remote connection to ZimaOS from iPhone/iOS device

I know with ZimaOS remote connection has become easier since the OS offer a built-in function to connect from outside LAN (accessible from settings>network>remote login). Zima is also offering some clients to access as easy as possible from Mac an PC (http://findzima.com). However I haven’t completely understood if this functionality has been implemented using Zero Tier protocol or something else. For this reason I’m wondering if it’s possible to connect remotely to ZimaOS from iOS device (iPhone, iPad, etc.). If so, should I hous Zero Tier One App for IOS to access ZimaOS trough VPN or something else?

I have gotten it to work. You have to download the Zero Tier app on iOS.

Then you’ll need the 10.x.x.x IP address. But the only way I’ve found it so far is by installing the Zero Tier menu bar app on my Mac. In Managed Addresses/Routes, it lists the 10.x.x.x IP address.

Now when you enable Zero Tier on iOS, it’ll function like a VPN turning on, and then you can connect to the IP address in iOS Files, or for example in Readdle Documents. (However, I’m still having an issue where my Cube is “read only” in Files, but not in Documents.)
