/this/ seems like a better and more persistent option. Everyone on the ZeroTier...subnet? I guess? ...could all access the game and the rest of the internet could be firewalled off. Sounds slick.
Anyone else interested in something along these lines?

For a while I was thinking of running various games and allowing
multiple BBSes to connect (similar to a doorparty thing, but different games) and wanted to lock it down to a set of prescribed IP addresses. However, /this/ seems like a better and more persistent option.

Exactly. The more I look at this, it enables a groups with a common interest to interact, but keeps those out with the wrong interest (ie: to hack/compromise disrupt).

The ZeroTier network is a great idea, I really love it and think that
it could lead to some pretty awesome stuff in the near future, but I
don't think that using it to lock away the bbses to become something obscure and elite is the right thing to do.
Perhaps using it to "securely" transmit interbbs data or to run
interbbs games though could be useful... i'm sure there's a zillion
things that this will allow bbses to be opened up to, but I get the feeling that it might be used to hide things away too. I'm not too keen
on that bit.
I have found it personally useful to set up zerotier on my vm's at
home, and my work computer, so that I can access my vm's that don't
have a route in from outside for me, so I can monitor home stuff while
at work... extremely useful and that alone is a zerotier win for me, thanks Deon again for letting me know about it.
The only thing I can think of that seems to put a less positive spin on this generally, is that by definition BBSing is a hobby and an
enthusiasts all over as well as the curious people who've never seen before, should be able to access BBSes without any such hassle by having them locked away in a private network.
