I'm running OPNsense 23.1.6-amd64. I used the ACME Client to create a certificate for my administration/webui. I applied it, and it works for the most part...just this strange issue in Chrome on a Mac.

99.999% of the time, when I try to access the webui by name using Chrome on a Mac it will sit there and hang the connection start (See attached screenshot from DevTools). You can see the screenshot shows 1.5 min, but I've had it last up to 3.5 mins and sometimes 39 seconds. Now if I run this same test by IP, I don't have a single problem and can run the test over and over and over by IP and name and the results are consistent relative to the way I'm trying it. If I connect from Firefox or Safari by name it works perfectly every, single, time...no hang or delay. I've tried clearing the Chrome cache, starting a new profile, incognito mode...nothing helps. I even tried from my kids Macbooks...still the same result with chrome.

I'm at a loss

I recently moved from Untangle to opnsense.  Everything is running great but I cannot seem to figure out a good way to get alerts when new devices appear on my internal network(s).  I like to be aware of new connections so I know if someone new jumped on my wireless or connected to my LAN.  It's just for the sake of knowing and making sure it's legit and not some rogue device.  Untangle had an easy way of doing this, and I understand that opnsense is a completely different platform and I'm not necessarily looking for an as easy solution...just *a* solution...either using what's part of the platform by default or through the use of an additional features.  Either works for me, I just want to be able to get an email every time a device, not previously known or on the network, connects.  Thanks!
