## Features
1. See your Wi-Fi name, BSSID, local address, gateway, and subnet.
2. Find devices connected to your local network, including automatic scans when the app opens.
3. Check whether a website or device responds with ping, even without internet access.
4. Scan popular ports, a custom range, or a single port for reachable services.
5. Look up website addresses and find device names with forward and reverse DNS.
6. Test your download and upload speed.
7. View your public IP and internet provider information.
8. Control internet access, location permission, scan ranges, ping count, and timeouts.
Vernet helps you spot possible connection and security concerns. It does not
replace a professional security audit, but it gives you useful findings to
review, such as devices and services that are reachable on your network.

## How to install
Vernet is available for Linux, Windows and macOS. Linux and Windows builds come in both **x64** and **arm64**.
| Platform | Architectures | Install from |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | x64, arm64 | [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/vernet) or [GitHub releases](https://github.com/osociety/vernet/releases/latest) |
| Windows | x64, arm64 | [Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N1170N3PHMM) or [GitHub releases](https://github.com/osociety/vernet/releases/latest) |
| macOS | Apple silicon and Intel | [GitHub releases](https://github.com/osociety/vernet/releases/latest) |
Not sure which architecture you have? On Linux, run `uname -m`: `x86_64` means x64 and `aarch64` means arm64. On Windows, open **Settings > System > About** and check "System type".
### Instructions for Linux
#### Option 1: Snap Store (recommended)
```bash
sudo snap install vernet --beta
```
Then connect the network permissions once, so the app can discover devices:
```bash
sudo snap connect vernet:network-observe
sudo snap connect vernet:network-manager-observe
```
`snap install` picks the right build for your architecture (x64 or arm64) automatically.
