Using Growl?

Hello all!

Since I cannot get the smtp notifications to work, I thought I'd try Growl. According to a video on youtube, I have to install a plugin for it to work. I do not see any plugins for PfSense.

Is anyone currently using Growl on Windows 10 PC?

If so, how do you set it up?

Thanks

Growl has a software program that needs to be installed on the computer, in addition to the settings on your pfSense box (search Google for Growl for Windows). Once you download and install the program, then enable the settings in pfSense to point to your host running the Growl software.

You may want to make sure that the host has a static IP address or DHCP reservation so that the IP address doesn't change and you stop receiving the notifications as a result.
