    Hello,

    I'm trying to find a stolen laptop using it's WiFi MAC address. I have a network with a few (free) WiFi APs, for which pfSense handles the DHCP. Is there any way pfSense can alert me if a certain MAC address connects to the local network?

    Thank you.

        Thank you. This, combined with a mail forwarding rule solved my problem.
