Remote Alert 1.4 Add-In for Windows Home Server

Alexander over at Kentdome Technologies has been in touch to let us know about the release of version 1.4 of their Remote Alert Add-In for Windows Home Server.

Here is what they say about Remote Alert:

Remote Alert permits WHS Administrators to monitor remote access attempts to their Windows Home Server. Any attempt to log on to the WHS via a web browser is reported in real-time using the WHS Network Health task tray icon. A record of access attempts is maintained by the WHS Console.

Features

• Real time logon activity status (successful / failed) alerts
• Real time network activity traffic monitor
• Real time connected session and resources overview
• Remote access activity history overview (basic client info: IP address & browser type)
• IP Security for IP address or entire network range blacklisting
• Powerful brute-force protection (cannot be fooled via proxies & suspends remote access but does not kill any legit sessions)
• Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack and ARP poisoning detection
• Remote access availability scheduler (i.e. suspend remote access during nighttime, does not affect HP Webshare or additional websites)
• Smart IIS Web logs parser
• Build-in self-checking update notification
