Installing as a Windows Service

  1. Go to the NSSM official website [https://nssm.cc/download] to download NSSM and extract it to a local directory.
  2. Download the command-line version of easytier-core.exe, remember the installation directory, such as D:\Software\Easytier\cli\easytier-core.exe.
  3. Register it as a Windows service, naming it easytier_service:
    • nssm.exe install easytier_service D:\Software\Easytier\cli\easytier-core.exe --ipv4 10.144.144.2 --network-name abc --network-secret abc -e tcp://public.easytier.top:11010
  4. Run services.msc, locate the easytier_service service, enable it, and set it to start with a delay.
  5. To remove the service: nssm.exe remove easytier_service.
  6. Note that after registering as a service, the program (referring to easytier-core.exe) cannot be modified, deleted, or moved. Otherwise, it needs to be removed for re-registration or modifying the Windows registry.
  7. For convenient execution of easytier-cli.exe to view connection status, you can place it in C:\Users\Administrator (Administrator being your Windows username). Simply open cmd or PowerShell and execute, for example: easytier-cli.exe peer.
