NETworkManager is available in three different versions:
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Setup (MSI Installer) | Recommended for most users. Installs system-wide and requires administrator privileges. Settings and profiles are stored in ~\Documents\NETworkManager. Suitable for centralized deployment via Intune, SCCM, etc. |
| Portable (ZIP Archive) | Run without installation — ideal for a USB stick or network share. Settings and profiles are stored next to the executable. To upgrade, copy the Profiles and Settings directories to the new version. |
| Archive (ZIP Archive) | Similar to Portable, but stores settings and profiles in ~\Documents\NETworkManager. Useful for custom deployment scenarios (e.g. Terminal Server). |
System requirements
- Windows 10 / Server x64 (22H2 or later)
- .NET Desktop Runtime 10.0 (LTS) - x64
Silent install
Install the Setup (MSI) silently using the following command:
.\NETworkManager_{VERSION}_Setup.msi /quiet /norestart
Enterprise Deployment / Policies
NETworkManager supports system-wide policies that allow administrators to enforce specific settings for all users on a machine — for example, disabling the automatic update check at startup. Policies are defined in a config.json file placed in the application installation directory and can be deployed via Group Policy, Intune, SCCM, or any other configuration management tool.
See the System-Wide Policies documentation for details on available policy options and how to configure them.

Pre-release
Pre-release versions with the latest features and bug fixes are (sometimes) available for testing on GitHub Releases.
You can help to improve the software by testing pre-release versions and reporting bugs via GitHub Issues.

Code Signing Policy
NETworkManager uses free code signing services from SignPath.io and a free code signing certificate provided by the SignPath Foundation to sign all official binaries and installers, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of your downloads.
The binaries and installers are built on AppVeyor directly from the GitHub repository. After each build, the artifacts are automatically sent to SignPath.io via webhook, where they are signed following manual approval by the maintainer. Once signed, the binaries are uploaded to the GitHub releases page.
Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters. NETworkManager will not transfer any information to other networked systems unless specifically requested by the user or the person installing or operating it.
NETworManager has integrated some optional third-party services to enhance functionality. You can choose to enable or disable these services at the first startup or later in the settings:
- api.github.com - Check for application updates.
- ipify.org - Retrieve the public IP address used by the client.
- ip-api.com - Retrieve network information (e.g., geolocation, ISP, DNS resolver) used by the client.
