# How is NetSenX deployed?

You choose: connect one agent to a SPAN or TAP port to watch a whole network segment, or install the agent on the hosts you want to monitor. The agent runs as a system service on Linux and macOS; on Linux the installer accepts only a package signed with the NetSenX release key, and macOS agents are set up together with NetSenX support. The dashboard is a service hosted in the EU; an on-premises option is available on the Enterprise plan.
