When we set out to create Profiles , our goal was clear: eliminate the complexity and frustration of accessing multiple NetBird accounts. We listened closely to users like home-lab enthusiasts and MSP engineers who told us stories about the challenges they faced, constantly juggling numerous setups and often getting bogged down by manual configurations. NetBird's latest update brings you Profiles, a streamlined solution to effortlessly manage and switch between multiple NetBird accounts. With a few clicks in the systray app, users can now create dedicated profiles for various environments, such as home, office, or customer networks, and instantly transition between them without the hassle of manual reconfiguration.
If you're like many of us at NetBird, managing a home lab network alongside your professional work network is a daily reality. You've probably felt the pain of switching back and forth between your personal projects and work environments, using bash scripts to replace config files, and dealing with the inevitable mistakes that come along with it. That's exactly why we built Profiles, so you can seamlessly switch between these networks in an instant, leaving more time for what you really love: diving into new tech, experimenting, and innovating.
We also heard from network engineers at managed service and security providers (MSPs/MSSPs) who faced even greater challenges. With numerous customers, each having unique networks, managing these accounts was cumbersome. Profiles solves this by providing a seamless, one-click method to switch between different customer networks, improving operational efficiency. With Profiles, technicians and network admins can offer quicker, more reliable support, resulting in happier clients and smoother daily operations.
NetBird Profiles is a solution inspired by real-world needs, simplifying the complexity of network management for everyone. View the documentation here .
