equinux VPN Tracker 8.1.1 - Manual (Page 30)

Network Scanner
The Network Scanner in VPN Tracker Pro lets you explore the
remote network of your VPN, assist users and easily locate
hosts and services.
Scanning Networks
To scan a network, your Mac must be connected to the network via VPN.
‣ Select the VPN in the sidebar and connect the VPN.
‣ Open the Scanner tab.
‣ Click the Scan button to scan the network using a selection of the most
popular network services.
If you are connected to a VPN where all network traffic is sent through the
VPN (Host to Everywhere), VPN Tracker will ask you to specify the network that
you would like to scan.
Depending on the size of the network and your Internet connection, the scan
may take a while to complete. You can continue working with VPN Tracker
while a scan is in progress. You’ll see a notification when the scan is complete.
To be able to use the Network Scanner when you’re physically at
the remote network and no VPN is needed, set up
→ Direct Link
Detection for your VPN connection.
Customizing Network and Services
By default, the Network Scanner scans
for a selection of the most popular net-
work services.
‣ To select different services, click the
gear icon and check or uncheck the
services that you would like VPN
Tracker to scan.
‣ To turn OS detection on or off, use
the checkbox at the top of the set-
tings.
‣ To check/uncheck all services, hold
down the Option key while clicking a
checkbox.
‣ To restore the default selection of
services and networks, click the “De-
faults” button at the top of the set-
tings.
OS Detection
The Network Scanner can detect the type of host (e.g. OS X, Windows,
Linux, Network Equipment, Printers) from the services that are available on
that host.
OS detection requires certain services to be included in the scan. If you un-
check a service that is required for OS detection, OS detection will be un-
checked as well.
At the bottom of the settings, you can
change the network that is being scanned.
Select one of the remote networks of the
VPN, or enter a custom range or IP address.
The more addresses a scan includes, the
longer it will take.
