in feature release, after profile implementation, admin user may set option to disable that for non admin users, as well as other functions, welcome to provide a list that else you would like to control

When is this release available?

Its depends, hardly to say but presumably next year, however if you wish to make it happen sooner little donation may help to prioritise such

Out of curiosity, why is a connection manager tool offering a portscan feature in the first place?

I'm not sure why the full port scanner is included, though I can think of the use case that you might want to discover and add multiple devices at once. Never used it though

Initial idea was if you are in local network you may easy scan it and add to connection panel, so may connect once you know password, dont see an issue but firewalls can easy lock such

don't need port scanning. users can implement using external tools

Already working towards such, implementing basic of profile settings where in admin mode (currently will be local admin) some functionality can be disabled for a user mode and in feature planning implement module interface so we will have core application and then modules may extend it functionality like adding port scanner, scripter, scheduled tasks etc.

I assume @simon1tan is voting for completely ditching the Port Scanner functionality, but I'm sure @Kvarkas your solution will be great regardless of that :)

where is some people who like it and use it (my self use it quite often as auto ip on devices and change often so its hard to catch them manually so I don't completely remove it but if somebody don't like it he may disable it so users cant run it
