I haven't had any neighbors try and log on but that may be due to the fact that I don't broadcast my SSID, have MAC filtering enabled and use WPA security. When I have family and friends over who try and log-on using their laptops the program immediately notifies me of the attempt. It then allows me to tag them as friend or foe. The program also allows me to use the routers built-in security to deny any traffic not tagged as friendly or pre-approved.

Only works for Windows. I thas an annoying tendancy to need to be restarted every few days, just seems to hang. But I've been happy with it. It does all I really care about. Of course I don't really care if a neighbor gets on my network. I've applied basic WPA security, but nothing a determined attacker couldn't get through if he decided to target me rather then the open networks around me. fundamentalism, fundamentally wrong.
