VMwaire is an independent, single-page mirror that provides direct download links for VMware Workstation Pro and VMware Fusion. The installer files are hosted on GitHub Releases; we do not host the binaries and we do not store user accounts. The only server-side code we run is a single endpoint that records anonymous usage events, described in full below.
When you visit this site, we record the following on our own server: your IP address, the user-agent string sent by your browser, the referer header (the page that linked you here, if any), and the timestamp of each event. We also record three kinds of click events: page view (one per page load), tile click (which of the three home-screen launcher tiles you clicked), and download initiated (with the operating-system variant selected). Events are stored in a file on the server.
We do not set cookies. We do not use third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Cloudflare Web Analytics). The download buttons link directly to the installer files on GitHub Releases; when you click one, your browser connects to GitHub to fetch the file. That request is governed by GitHub's privacy policy, not ours.
We use the collected data to understand which guides on this site are useful, which download variants visitors actually click, and to detect abuse (e.g. bot traffic). We do not sell the data and we do not share it with third parties. The administrator of this site can view aggregate statistics in a private dashboard.
Events are retained for ninety (90) days after collection and then deleted from the server. You can request earlier deletion of records associated with your IP by contacting us.
This site sets no cookies of its own. Following an external link to support.broadcom.com is governed by Broadcom's privacy policy.
The download buttons link directly to installer files hosted on GitHub Releases. We also link out to Broadcom and VMware properties for documentation and product information. We are not responsible for content or data handling on those sites.
