Using Scan Results
Connect to Services
You can connect to a service right from the Network Scanner, or open the app
associated with this service on your Mac.
‣ Display the scan results ”By Address” or “By Service”.
‣ On the right side, click the “Connect” or “Open” for the service or host that
you would like to connect to.
Add to Secure Desktop
‣ To add a service to Secure Desktop, click the button for the service that
you would like to add to Secure Desktop.
‣ Choose “Add to Secure Desktop” and select the Secure Desktop that you
want the service to be added to.
‣ You can also drag a service to your Secure Desktop in the sidebar.
Customizing Scan Results
Renaming Hosts
Renaming hosts in the Network Scanner list makes it easy to locate your most
important computers and network devices.
‣ Display the scan results ”By Address”.
‣ Right click the host you want to rename.
‣ Choose ”Rename” and enter a name.
Automatic Hostname Lookup
VPN Tracker can automatically look up the host names for IP addresses in
the Network Scanner. All you need is a
→ Remote DNS server for your VPN
that can provide host names for the IP addresses that are being scanned
(reverse DNS lookup). Make sure the checkbox “Use for reverse lookup of IP
addresses in remote networks” (Basic > DNS) is checked.
Setting a Custom Icon for a Host
‣ Display the scan results ”By Address”.
‣ Right click the host you want to change the icon for.
‣ Click ”Choose Icon…” to set a custom icon for this host.
Change the OS Detection Group
The Network Scanner can automatically detect the kind of host – whether it’s
a Mac running OS X, a PC running Windows or Linux, or a printer or network
equipment. OS detection uses the services on a host to determine the most
likely type of host.
In some cases, OS detection might put a host into a different group than what
it actually is. You can change the group if a host is not detected correctly.
‣ Display the scan results ”By Address”
‣ Right click the host whose group you want to change.
‣ Select the new group from the “Group” menu.
Resetting Scan Results
‣ Click ”Reset Scan Results” in order to clear the results. Customized host
names, icons, and groups will not be modified – if the host is encountered
again in a future scan, the customization will be applied.
‣ Hold down the Option key while clicking ”Reset Scan Results” in order to
also reset all customization (names, icons, and groups).
Scanner Preferences
You can configure the Network Scanner’s performance and aggressiveness,
and enable or disable Web Preview loading in
→ Scanner Preferences.
