          it seems they are testing it internally

          https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/issues/297

          
          @Andrew17856 Hi, I'm working on the FreeBSD port.
          
          I'm almost done with that, I'm waiting for feedback from a pair of persons who are helping me test it.
          
          I'm going to commit it as soon as I'm sure it works fine.
          
          If you want to test the FreeBSD port you can grab what I have done here:
          
          http://www.madpilot.net/~mad/ntopng_port.txz
          
          Please note that this also needs adding a user in /usr/ports/UIDs and /usr/ports/GIDs to work:
          
          > grep ntop UIDs GIDs 
          UIDs:ntopng:*:288:288::0:0:ntopng daemon user:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
          GIDs:ntopng:*:288:

              Hi All

              Is there any update on when we can expect the ntop-ng package to be released? I see there is a post about a failed install (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=113173.0) but I don't see the package in the available list on pfSense yet.

              Thanks to all for the work to make it available.

              Been using pfSense since it was 0. something Beta on various sites/configurations. Awesome to see where it has got to.

                ntopng is back in the 2.3.2 snapshot,  see https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6443

                However, the ability to install from custom package repository urls was removed in 2.3.x as far as I can tell, so I'm not aware of an easy way to install it on the current 2.3.1 release.  (Happy to be corrected on that if someone can point me in the right direction).

                  @Andrew453 Thanks for the details.

                  I see that 2.3.2 is not a stable build yet.
                  Guess I'll be waiting a little longer unless someone can correct you  :)

                  so I'm not aware of an easy way to install it on the current 2.3.1 release. (Happy to be corrected on that if someone can point me in the right direction).

                    … if you're happy to run off a development snapshot, you can specify the development branch in the update settings in pfSense, but that will update your entire system.

                      I've been following the developments very closely. There isn't any way ntopng is going to be included in 2.3.1 update 2, is there? Or will we need to wait until the stable release of 2.3.2?

                        If it proves stable enough on 2.3.2, it may be made available elsewhere. It's still being tested, though.

                          great. I think there's a lot of ppl waiting for it.

                          just because it's an excellent interface to monitor realtime bandwidth usage on the fw and I don't seem to be able to find a good alternative to it.

                            Thank you for adding this package! It is working well for me locally, but I am having issues with setting up ntopng over HTTPS via NGINX.

                            I have tried setting up a proxy_pass directive, but I cannot get past the login screen. I also tried editing the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntopng.sh file to add –http-prefix="/ntopng" to the startup strings, but unfortunately I get the same issue.

                            Can we integrate SSL certificates into ntopng or allow for native nginx https proxy through pfSense's nginx setup?

                            Thank you!

                              temporarily to fix the authentication/login issue through NGINX, I have added –disable-login '1' to the /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc file in the DNS Mode string:

                                      /* DNS Mode */
                                      if (is_numeric($ntopng_config['dns_mode']) && ($ntopng_config['dns_mode'] >= 0) && ($ntopng_config['dns_mode'] <= 3)) {
                                              $dns_mode = "--disable-login '1' --dns-mode " . escapeshellarg($ntopng_config['dns_mode']);
                                      }
                              

                              I enabled htaccess password protection via nginx.

                              Everything is working great now! Thanks!

                                  It's already in 2.3.2. If you install a 2.3.2 snapshot you can use it now (or at least once I get this fix pushed to correct the password handling)

                                  When 2.3.2 releases (probably next week) you'll have access to it.

                                    any chance of pulling in the 2.4 version of ntopng that is available in FreeBSD ports?

                                    The changelog is long, but the first 2 items alone seem enough to make it worth it:

                                    • Memory-management, stability and speed have been fundamentally improved

                                    • We have kept an eye on security and hardened the code to prevent privileges escalation and XSS

                                      After we release 2.3.2 we can look into that.

                                          Hi Guys

                                          Thanks to everyone involved in getting the ntopng package back into pfsense with version 2.3.2. Its great and works well.

                                          Could I possibly ask for one, hopefully minor, improvement?

                                          For the historical data could we specify the max period that the data is kept for eg. 30 days.
                                          This is should be supported by ntop but I can't find the option to specify the limit before I enable the Historical Data storage
                                          Ref: http://www.ntop.org/ntopng/exploring-historical-data-using-ntopng/

                                          Much appreciated.

                                            The screen shown on that page is for a MySQL database. That isn't what is in use on pfSense. Eventually the package could grow the ability to export to an external MySQL server, but it wouldn't ever be using a MySQL database on the firewall itself.
