IP Switch 1.0.3

What's new

• Clearer update notice. When IP Switch finds a new version at startup, a bar fixed at the top of the window, on every page, offers Update now or Later. The Settings icon shows a dot until you update.
• If the app is only in the notification area, a Windows notification announces the update; click it to open the window.
• The startup check now runs a few seconds after the window appears, so the notice shows up in the app instead of going to the tray.

Updating

• From 1.0.1 or 1.0.2: Settings → About → Check now → Update now.
• From 1.0.0: download it once by hand.

Download

IPSwitch.exe — a single portable executable (~3.2 MB) for Windows 10 (1903+) and 11. Checksum: IPSwitch.exe.sha256, attached below.

IP Switch 1.0.2

Fixes

• Profile shortcuts survive moving the executable. When you open IP Switch from a new location, the desktop shortcuts created with Create desktop shortcut that pointed to the old location are updated automatically, and the app tells you how many it fixed. Shortcuts to another copy that still exists are left alone. The Start with Windows task was already repaired the same way.

Updating

• From 1.0.1: Settings → About → Check now → Update now. IP Switch downloads this version, verifies its SHA-256 and restarts.
• From 1.0.0: download it once by hand. That version can only notify about updates.

IP Switch 1.0.1

What's new

• One-click updates. Settings → About → Check now → Update now downloads the new version, verifies its SHA-256, replaces the executable and restarts. Starting with this version you won't need to download IP Switch by hand again.
• Additional gateways. Profiles can now include extra default gateways, each with its own metric, just like the advanced TCP/IP settings in Windows (Advanced section of the editor).
• Wider editor. The profile editor uses two columns, so it fits small screens.
• Window size that fits the screen. The main window opens at a size suited to your screen, can be made smaller and remembers its last size and position.
• Clearer active profile. An "Active" badge next to the name replaces the check mark that overlapped the profile color.

Fixes

• Opening IPSwitch.exe while the app is running in the tray brings it to the front instead of asking for administrator rights again. Desktop shortcuts (--apply) don't prompt either while the app is running.
• Start with Windows is reliable: the task no longer stops after 72 hours, also runs on battery and repairs itself if you move the executable.
• The tray icon's right-click menu now has the Windows 11 look.

Download

IPSwitch.exe — a single portable executable (~3.2 MB) for Windows 10 (1903+) and 11. Checksum: IPSwitch.exe.sha256, attached below.

Coming from 1.0.0: download this version once by hand (1.0.0 can only notify). From now on, updates install from the app.

IP Switch 1.0.0

First public release of IP Switch, a portable IPv4 network profile manager for Windows 10/11.

Download

IPSwitch.exe — single portable executable (~3.3 MB). No installation: .NET Framework 4.8 is already part of Windows 10 (1903+) and Windows 11. Run it and accept the UAC prompt (changing the IP configuration requires administrator rights).

Checksum: IPSwitch.exe.sha256 (SHA-256), attached below.

Highlights

• Profiles per adapter: static IP or DHCP, mask, gateway with metric, DNS, additional IP addresses, color and notes.
• Safe apply: connectivity check after every change with an automatic rollback countdown.
• Apply anywhere: main window, compact view, tray panel, global hotkeys, automatically per WiFi network, command line (--apply "Name") and desktop shortcuts.
• Adapter tools: renew DHCP, restart, enable/disable, hide, flush DNS, open the Windows WiFi panel.
• Native look: Fluent design with Mica, light/dark/system theme, English and Spanish.
• Portable and private: data in %AppData%\IPSwitch, single instance, no telemetry.

See the README (español) and the changelog.

Windows SmartScreen may warn because the executable is not code-signed: choose More info → Run anyway, and verify the download against IPSwitch.exe.sha256 if you want to be sure.
