I'm not sure what the advantages of integrating ZeroTier & Guacamole might
be?

Speaking from a networking perspective (I am CCIE # 1143)..   you can
already implement Guacamole with NGINX etc and a Certificate from the likes
of LetsEncrypt to have HTTPS encrypted connection to the Guacamole Server
and RDP is encrypted to the end-server whether that is Windows or XRDP on
Linux.

ZeroTier would give you a Layer 2 or Layer 3 VPN capability but what
exactly would you need that for in regards to remote desktop capability
unless it was for other personal or enterprise purposes besides the remote
desktop use?

Just curious.
