      I have used ntopng in the past and really enjoyed its function....
      however, on a new install of PfSense comunity ed 2.72, I enter my MaxMind key into the GeoLite2 DB License Key box. I save and click on "Update GeoLite2 DB button with no errors.

      I then goto the ntopng page, log in, and am informed it is running without GeoIP.

      What needs to be done to get the GeoIP function to work?

      Thanks for any assistance...

        @detox MaxMind changed the login requirements. You should have received an email notice from MaxMind regarding this several months ago.

        There is a new version of pfSense-pkg-ntopng that handles the new MaxMind requirements. It came out with 24.03 in the Plus version, but I'm not sure about the community version.

          @dennypage Thank you for the response....

          Does anyone know if the GeoIP in Ntopng works in the PfSense Community Ed?

            @detox To be clear, what I meant was that I don't know if the new pfSense-pkg-ntopng version is in the pfSense community repo yet. You should check in System / Package Manager.

            GeoIP will not work until a new version of pfSense-pkg-ntopng is installed because the old version does not provide the Login ID. [MaxMind now requires a Login ID as well as the License Key. There are several posts discussing this in the forum.]
