ThinkVantage Access Connection alternative?

0

I've used Access Connection with my previous Thinkpad laptop, but now I own a non-lenovo pc. Is there any good alternative to manage and automatically switch network profiles?

Thanks

Just FYI, I believe you can still use Lenovo Access Connections. You can download it from Lenovo's website. Just Google it. – David – 2010-11-24T14:59:49.053

If your OS is Windows, have a look at netsetman.

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad, and I dropped Access Connections in favor of netsetman. I find it lighter and more intuitive. The free version comes with the ability to configure up to 6 different network profiles, using any of your network devices - more than enough for me. The paid version is unlimited.

Access Connections has some automated VPN configuration tools (which I never used) - I don't think netsetman can match this feature.

I'm trying NetSetMan, and seems good enough.

Since I need proxy configuration, I bought the pro, but alas it's missing ability to configure proxy authentication.

Also VPN would be a great addition, but I can live without.

BWT, since I need only one profile with proxy authentication, I'm going to fake it creating a local proxy with http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/
