NETworkManager is a Windows desktop application for network administration and troubleshooting that unifies multiple diagnostic and remote access tools in a single interface.
The tool addresses the fragmentation of network management by consolidating separate utilities into one application. It combines remote access capabilities like Remote Desktop, SSH via PuTTY, PowerShell, and VNC with network diagnostics including IP scanning, port scanning, ping monitoring, traceroute, DNS lookup, WiFi analysis, and LLDP/CDP capture. Users organize hosts and networks into profiles that work across all features, with optional encryption for sensitive data. The application runs on Windows with a WPF-based graphical interface.
NETworkManager suits Windows-based network administrators and IT professionals who need a centralized tool for both remote access and network diagnostics. It is positioned as enterprise-ready, offering an MSI installer, signed binaries, system-wide policies for centralized configuration, and distribution through package managers. The tool supports multiple languages and customizable themes. This approach works best for teams managing Windows infrastructure who want to reduce context-switching between separate tools rather than those seeking a cross-platform solution.
The project maintains active development with regular updates and builds passing through continuous integration. Community contributions are actively solicited through translation efforts and feature request channels. The codebase is written in C# and remains under active maintenance with infrastructure supporting both stable releases and pre-release versions.
