What NetSetMan is
NetSetMan saves network and system settings in profiles that users can switch between or have activated automatically. A profile can include IP addresses, gateways, DNS, WINS, network drives, routes, hosts entries, and printers. It can also store display, screensaver, wallpaper, power plan, sound, time zone, Windows Firewall, and Windows Update settings. Wi-Fi tools organize, create, delete, and connect to Wi-Fi profiles, while AutoSwitch responds to network and time conditions. The software supports running scripts and programs and includes a network scanner, connections manager, and console. Proxy settings are listed for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome; Chrome and newer Opera use Internet Explorer settings. The freeware edition is for non-commercial use and supports up to eight profiles. Domain or Windows Enterprise/Server use of that edition is limited to 14 days for testing; commercial use requires Pro. NetSetMan runs on-premises, with downloads for Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
