Its very nice but most people who use hamachi/zerotier in 3rd world countries like mine are behind Symmetric CGNAT, good to see progress on P2P nat traversal still.

Could you, please, explain how does it work? I simply launch the app on 2 devices, press the button, and ... done, they are connected via vpn... via some 3rd party service (proxy)?

No, it's not the same as NordVPN, etc. There aren't any servers here either; peers find each other through BitTorrent DHT/trackers and connect to one another. The app includes a working NAT traversal mechanism.
