Network Engineering Toolkit for VS Code and VSCodium

Net Commander is a free, open-source VS Code extension for network troubleshooting and day-to-day ops. Run multi-target ping/traceroute (even against CIDRs), look up IANA ports + PeeringDB/ASN info, do RFC-compliant subnet math, run quick Wi-Fi surveys + capture workflows, jump via saved SSH profiles and review configs with syntax highlighting + IP tooltips all without leaving your IDE. Built to keep troubleshooting data-driven and reduce context switching.
Most of us already live inside our IDEs. But when a network issue hits, we still bounce between terminals, browser lookups, config files, SSH tools, screenshots and notes, oh yeah and don't forget context switching is where mistakes happen specially when we have dozens of windows opened.
So I built Net Commander aimed to be a free, open-source network engineering toolkit built inside VS Code, designed to keep troubleshooting data-driven and consistent.
What it includes today:
Ping + traceroute, supercharged (single host, multiple targets or entire CIDRs for convenience)
Lookups: IANA ports, ASN/public IP info, PeeringDB
Calculators: RFC-compliant CIDR + “what-if” subnet simulation
Wi-Fi quick surveys + capture workflows (for wireshark deeper analysis later)
SSH profiles for fast host jumps
Network config colorizer with inline detection + useful tooltips for private/public IPs
Root Cause Analysis checklist ready to use with platform-specific commands (Cisco, Arista, Ciena, Azure, AWS, GCP)
I’d love your feedback:
Which workflow would save you the most time inside VS Code?
What tool should I add or integrate next?
