        Yeah, it is ntop-ng version 4, the FreeBSD package version is, confusingly, 5.0.

        Unfortunately I have no particular insight into the internal workings of ntop-ng. Development time is extremely limited right now as we push to get 22.01/2.6 released. Hopefully once that is out the door there will be more cycles to look into things like this.

          @stephenw10 Yeah, I understand that.

          But are you saying the ntopNG v4.0.0 that is installed in the pfSense ntopNG package is the same as the freeBSD ntopNG package version 5.2? Otherwise I'm a bit confused by your statement.

            The FreeBSD pkg that gets installed for the pfSense ntop-ng package is version 5.0:

            [22.01-RC][admin@6100-2.stevew.lan]/root: pkg search ntop
ntopng-5.0.d20210923,1         Network monitoring tool with command line and web interfaces
pfSense-pkg-ntopng-0.8.13_10   pfSense package ntopng

            But it reports as ntop-ng 4.0 in the ntop webgui.

              Huhh, seems a little strange that the webGUI in the ntopNG install is modified by the pfSense package manager to report v4.0.0 when it is a 5.0 daily build from september 2021.
              But if you say so :-)

                  Yes, in 2.5.2 (or 21.05).

                  In 22.01/2.6 the FreeBSD port used is v5.0.
                  The ntop-ng gui reports as ntopng Community v.4.0.0 (FreeBSD 12.3)

                        Did you enable it and set an interface(s)?

                          @stephenw10, now it works perfectly.

                          the same thing might happen to @keyser

                            Hi Steve

                            Are you sure about that. If I run a check from the commandline it reports:

                            #: ntopng --version
                            Version: 4.0.0 [Community build]
                            GIT rev: :5.0.220113

                            That seems like a packaged version of NtopNG v4.0 from github where the package version is 5.0.xx - or am I misunderstanding something? Everything in GUI, HELP->About and shell says NtopNG v4.0.0

                            Since I'm new to ntopng, I dunno how to tell the versions apart.

                            Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

                              Yeah, it's the port version which is, confusingly, at 5.
                              https://pkg00-atx.netgate.com/pfSense_v2_6_0_amd64-pfSense_v2_6_0/All/ntopng-5.0.d20210923%2C1.pkg

                              The package itself still reports 4.0.

                                So just to be clear - it really is NtopNG v4.0.0?
                                And the internal version number of the port package/work to get it running on freeBSD is 5.0.x?

                                Since it seems NtopNG 5.2 is available om freeBSD, is there any chance it could be packaged for pfSense any time soon?

                                  Well that's what the gui shows. So... it could be gui version I guess. I won't pretend to be an expert on ntop-ng!

                                  It sure looks like it's v5.0 in the port:
                                  https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commit/84c9db61e287493d33f24c5cb108908f56a801ca

                                  That's in 2.6.
