Description
NetLanvas automatically discovers, maps, and monitors every device on your network — live topology, VLAN awareness, historical snapshots, SNMP/security auditing, and alerting. Open source (Apache 2.0), runs entirely on your own hardware (Docker, Windows, or macOS). Nothing about your network ever leaves the box — and now you can verify that yourself. First 100 beta users who opt into telemetry get 6 months of Premium free.

Could you build this?
Partial While rendering the visual network canvas is straightforward, building automated Layer 2/3 physical topology discovery and reliable multi-vendor SNMP/VLAN mapping requires deep low-level networking expertise.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an agent in Go/Rust executing active discovery (LLDP, CDP, ARP table scraping, ICMP/SNMP polling) across heterogeneous switch and router firmware. The hard part is reconciling Layer 2 switch forwarding tables (CAM tables) to infer physical link topology accurately without vendor-specific bugs, coupled with a frontend topology canvas like Cytoscape.js or React Flow.
