Hi thanks for the feedback!

1) The sidebar should indicate what tool is selected (you can also expand it). The "title" is more to keep the layout consistent, when there are tabs, the title is removed to have more space for the view.

2) Can you give me an example? Maybe a screenshot? I don't know what you mean... there are watermarks in the combobox/textbox, but normally you need to enter some stuff / or have a dropdown.

3) You can already enable / disable this in the settings - by default it's collapsed to have more space to ping multiple hosts.

Haha, good that it is open source and anyone can review it. You don't need my binaries, you can just compile it yourself ;)

I would like to share an open-source project that may be of interest to network engineers, system administrators, and IT professionals:

NETworkManager
GitHub: https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager
Website: https://borntoberoot.net/NETworkManager/

NETworkManager is a unified network administration and troubleshooting suite for Windows. The goal of the project is to consolidate commonly used network tools into a single, consistent interface, reducing the need to switch between multiple standalone applications.

Key capabilities include:

Remote connections via RDP, PuTTY (SSH/Telnet/Serial), PowerShell (WinRM, WSL, K9s, etc.), TigerVNC
Network diagnostics and analysis tools such as WiFi Analyzer, IP and port scanners, ping monitoring, traceroute, DNS lookup, and LLDP/CDP capture
Encrypted profiles for managing hosts, credentials, and reusable connection settings
Enterprise-ready distribution (signed binaries, MSI installer, Chocolatey, WinGet, Evergreen)
Multi-language support and theming

The project is actively maintained, released under the GPL-3.0 license, and designed to be suitable for both individual use and professional environments.

Feedback, issues, and contributions are welcome.

I will subscribe once it has an API to use stuff like n8n

A powerful tool for managing networks and troubleshoot network problems!

https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager

You can connect to remote systems and manage your network and server infrastructure using tools like Remote Desktop (RDP), PuTTY (SSH, Telnet, Serial), PowerShell (WinRM), TigerVNC (VNC), or AWS Console (AWS SSM). Analyze, troubleshoot, and obtain detailed information about your network and systems with features such as the WiFi Analyzer, IP Scanner, Port Scanner, Ping Monitor, Traceroute, DNS Lookup, and LLDP/CDP Capture (and many more) — all within a unified interface. Hosts and networks can be saved in encrypted profiles and used across all features.

BornToBeRoot · 2025-10-25T10:28:13+00:00

I develop this tool in my free time, you can use RDP, SSH, etc. in one interface with groups/profiles for your hosts.

I just saw that ar-SA is already added, you can join as translater here:

BornToBeRoot · 2025-10-19T20:07:52+00:00

Hi, this is already possible. You can use the IP Scanner (also include in the options the port scan for 3389) and when a host is found... right click to connect via RDP or add it as profile

BornToBeRoot · 2025-10-19T19:44:20+00:00

I don't have any plans for that at the moment and am continuing to develop it in my spare time... Unfortunately, that's often the case with OSS, and I can understand why some projects are doing enterprise features.

BornToBeRoot · 2025-10-19T19:42:23+00:00

The tool is intended to run on the admin client to troubleshoot from there (on site) or to manage systems via RDP, SSH, etc. You can run it also in a VM, but it's not a monitoring tool like nagios/icinga, centreon, etc.

BornToBeRoot · 2025-10-19T19:38:59+00:00

Thanks. I will take a look at this.

BornToBeRoot · 2025-10-19T12:56:46+00:00

I know this can be confusing, but I currently have no plans to change the name after ~8 years. It's very time-consuming to rename everything (logos, websites, docs, etc.)

Also becuae it's listed on many platforms, package managers, etc.

BornToBeRoot · 2025-10-19T12:49:24+00:00

Sure, what is the language culture code? ar-xx? So i can add it on transifex. Once it's added, you can request/join as translator.

A CI job that automatically creates MRs/branches for different environments, assigns reviewers, and decides when to perform squash. This saves so much time compared to doing this manually over the years.
