The Wise Monkey

The Wise Monkey is a boutique open-source publisher that focuses on narrow, highly focused Windows utilities meant to remove friction from otherwise complex enterprise workflows. Its single public offering, AzureVPN-CLI, exemplifies the philosophy: a lightweight command-line wrapper that exposes the full feature set of Microsoft’s graphical Azure VPN Client through terse, scriptable instructions. System administrators use the tool to provision always-on tunnels across large fleets without clicking through GUIs, while DevOps pipelines embed it to spin up ephemeral secure connections during CI/CD stages. The publisher’s broader interest appears to lie in plumbing-layer software—small, single-purpose executables that sit between Microsoft’s official stacks and the automation engines that IT teams already run. Typical use-cases therefore revolve around headless deployment, remote diagnostics, and compliance logging, all areas where repeatable, audit-friendly CLIs trump manual wizard sequences. By open-sourcing the code on GitHub, The Wise Monkey invites community scrutiny and pull requests that keep the wrapper aligned with every new Azure VPN Client release. The Wise Monkey software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest upstream build and allowing batch installation alongside other applications.
