I have old key which is binded with pfBlockerNG which works fine. I can see its accessing on maxmind webpage. But it cant download with ntopng. Does anyone has any idea what is problem with this logs?

When i try to download it with browser it works. But it seems it cant do it within plugin. I tried both keys.

Thank you in advance.

@ha11oga11o MaxMind has changed the login requirements. You should have received an email notice from MaxMind regarding this several months ago.

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

The new package is available in 24.03, but I don't know if it's available in the community edition yet. Check your System / Package Manager.

Many thnx for clarification, i manage to make it kinda working by copying two packages on shared directory by ftp and it seems its working,... at least it created database, throw usual error, shows map and word "Marker" but not actual icon on map.
I did change for pfblockerng adding ID and that works, but i did not seen it here.

So yeah, ntopng is outdated on CE and needs time for update. Im running last available ntopng 0.8.13_10, but it seems its not tweaked for this "feature".

Thank you, have nice day!

@jimp, Would it be possible to kick out the new ntopng package for community edition?

It doesn't pick back cleanly to the 2.7.2 branch, so it will either need a new PR or some other manual work to account for the differences between the branches.

Hello,
sorry for resurrecting this topic, but it seems its still on the spot since ntopng and pfSense are totally same versions.
Do you know will ntopng package be updated to accommodate this feture, if you dont know where can i ask about it?
I doubt that any dev will leave this kind of package in limbo like this, and this long. It just dont have sense to me.

Many thnx in advance.

ntopng 0.8.13_10 is not the current version.

The current version of the ntopng package, 5.6.0 issued in April of this year, supports the current Maxmind requirements.

Github commit: Update ntopng package

I am sorry,

but i cannot see that version at all on available packages screen.

What am i missing here?

Im so sorry for accusing devs.

@ha11oga11o FWIW, I don't work for Netgate, and I don't generally monitor the community version releases. As such, I'm not very knowledgeable on 2.7.2, but some quick googling shows that 2.7.2 was released in December of 2023, which was prior to the release of the updated ntopng package. I assume that the ntopng update will be included in the next community version, which appears to be 2.8.0, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can comment on that.
