<![CDATA[In the digital era, the need for flexible and secure network management has become increasingly critical, particularly within educational environments such as Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren). Conventional methods, such as traditional VPNs, frequently encounter access and security constraints. This study examines the implementation of Software Defined Networking (SDN)-based ZeroTier as a remote network management solution on MikroTik devices at Pondok Pesantren Al-Masthuriyah via Winbox x64. The methodology employs a case study and experimental approach comprising analysis, design, implementation, and testing phases. ZeroTier was configured as an overlay network to securely connect administrator devices and the MikroTik router. The testing results demonstrated a stable connection with an average latency of 48 ms and zero packet loss over a 24-hour period. Furthermore, the system is supported by end-to-end encryption and device authentication, which enhance security and network management efficiency. ZeroTier proves to be an effective, secure, and cost-efficient solution for remote network management in pesantren-based educational institutions.]]>
