What NetSetMan is
NetSetMan is Windows software for saving network and system settings in profiles, then switching profiles instantly or activating them automatically. A profile can hold IP addresses, gateways, DNS, WINS, network drives, routes, hosts entries, printers, and other settings. Profiles can also include 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 can respond to network and time conditions. The software can run scripts and programs and includes a network scanner, connections manager, and console. Proxy settings cover Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome; Chrome and newer Opera use Internet Explorer settings. NetSetMan is on-premises software, with setup, update, and portable options for Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The free edition supports up to eight profiles for non-commercial use. Commercial use requires Pro, and freeware use in a network domain or with Windows Enterprise or Server is limited to a 14-day test period.
