Network Rules
Network rules are the core of NetScene. Each rule describes one complete network scene.
Rule Names
Use real scene names that are easy to recognize:
- Office
- Home proxy
- Client site
- Production
- Test network
Rule names appear in the menu bar and rule list.
Wi-Fi Settings
Each rule can set the Wi-Fi on or off state.
If you enter an SSID, NetScene tries to connect to that Wi-Fi when switching rules.
Use \ to separate multiple SSIDs:
Office-5G\Office-Backup\Client-WiFiThis is useful when:
- One place has primary and backup Wi-Fi.
- A company has multiple bands or access points.
- You often switch between several fixed hotspots.
Network Services
NetScene reads currently available macOS network services, such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB adapters.
Each service can configure:
- Enable or disable
- IP mode
- DNS mode
IP Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Do not change | Do not modify current IP settings when switching rules |
| DHCP | Get IP automatically via DHCP |
| Manual | Use specified IP, subnet mask, and router |
Manual IP is useful for client sites, device debugging, and dedicated fixed-network environments.
DNS Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Do not change | Do not modify DNS when switching rules |
| Automatic | Use DNS provided by the system or DHCP |
| Manual | Use DNS servers you enter |
Multiple DNS servers can be entered by line or according to the app interface prompt.
Batch Selection
The rule list supports multi-selection with Command or Shift.
After selecting multiple rules, you can directly:
- Delete
- Duplicate
This is useful for quickly organizing similar rules.
