Great software, thanks a lot. Monitoring home network made simple this is great. One great addition will be a mail alert when a new device is detected on the network ( just a mail sent through SMTP with the device IP, mac address and name ).

Email alert is a great idea. +1

It would be based on an UNKNOWN mac coming online. Obviously, we don't want email spam as laptops and printers get turned on/off etc.

Gmail only provides SSL-secured SNMP service, which isn't currently supported.

Use your ISP's SMTP server that should allow unencrypted sessions on port 25.

For Gmail, you need to install OpenSSL and then configure it to use a secure connection.

Google accepts connections on port 587. It could be useful to add a field for the port number (25 by default).

Just place it after the host name separated by a colon, e.g. smtp.gmail.com:587

Hi !

I am now under Fedora 21, and I have installed WiFiGuard. Everything works flawlessly except the mail alerts.
I have OpenSSL installed, and I have tried the trick of putting ":587" after the Outlook's SMTP address in the mail alert configuration box in WiFiGuard, but it still doesn't work.
What could be wrong?

What have you chosen under the Connection drop-down list? Please post a screen shot.

Hi Andrew !

The connection drop-down list is grayed out so I can't change anything. It shows the regular option.

This could be because WiFi Guard was not able to find OpenSSL. It looks for libssl.so and libcrypto.so, not version specific.

On my test Ubuntu installation it was fixed either by installing openssl-dev or making a couple of symbolic links:

sudo ln -s libssl.so.1.0.0 libssl.so
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.0 libcrypto.so

Hope this helps.

I installed openssl-devel, and now the connection drop-down list isn't grayed out any more. But it still doesn't work, whatever I choose for option, wifiguard hangs when I try to make a mail test,and I have to kill and restart it.

The options are : "Regular", "Secure to regular port (STARTTLS)", and "Secure to dedicated port (TLS)". None of them work

I don't know in this case, sorry. Probably you are using incorrect e-mail parameters? It works for me for gmail on Fedora 21
