NetCatcher

NetCatcher is a handy tool for PC users who want to keep an eye on their network connections. It tracks all your network interfaces and their uptime, letting you set up automatic actions based on whether a specific adapter is active or inactive.

Monitor Your Network Like a Pro

For example, you can customize it to launch your favorite messaging app when you connect to a virtual private network (VPN). Plus, it can start automatically every time Windows boots up, so you're always ready to go!

Getting Started with NetCatcher

The setup process is pretty straightforward. Just remember that you'll need to download and install the .NET Framework, unless it's already on your PC.

User-Friendly Interface

When you first open NetCatcher, the interface might look a bit simple with just a few buttons. But don’t let that fool you! It’s clean and easy to use. As soon as you start it up, it automatically finds your network interfaces and lists them out for you.

Create Custom Actions

You can add command lines for each adapter to perform different tasks. Want to launch a program, shut down your computer, or send an email? You can set these up based on whether the interface is active or not!

Keep It Running in the Background

The cool part? NetCatcher remembers your settings when you exit. Just keep it running in the background; it minimizes to the taskbar so it won’t get in your way while you're working on other stuff. You can turn autorun on or off whenever you want.

A Small Drawback

The only downside is that there isn’t a list of possible actions for those who aren’t used to command-line commands. But overall, NetCatcher is quick and gets the job done effectively!
