I like Zerotier for connecting and reaching back into systems.
But and this is a big one...
I have a lot of systems that rely on having lots of connections that when your IP changes $#!+ Goes sideways.
Like for instance... My bars and restaurants rely on video services now. If your IP address is different from one device to another... You get flagged and one feed or the other stops working. So you need to get all your devices to use one Public IP as it presents to the video service provider. Big Leaf aggregates the ISPs into one IP at the data center. So you can use both feeds at once and one or the other goes out... No IP change.
In my business environment VoIP and wifi calling are a big deal. If some calls are going over one link and some over the other... If one feed "gets Shakey"... Too bad. You have to wait for the link to fail completely. Then wait for the client device to connect back to the cellular gateway and re-establish it's IPSec keys. Losing calls and so forth.
A small broadcast site where they live stream to the national provider... Yeah I need that connection to keep going live.
Etc
