      @Sigsegv Fetch still works. you just need to modify the execution of the command and put quotes around the url to fetch.

      I made the same changes as mentioned above but these two lines were edited in the following way:

              mwexec("{$fetchcmd} -o {$output_dir}/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz -T 5 \"{$geolite_city}\"");
              mwexec("{$fetchcmd} -o {$output_dir}/GeoLite2-ASN.tar.gz -T 5 \"{$geoip_asnum}\"");
      

      then it should work.

        OK cool. Really, my point of posting was that the patch provided no longer works, therefore, I came up with a workaround using curl.

        I'm happy to modify the patch to fix the escape sequence.

          @Sigsegv Didn't mean to imply what you posted wasn't helpful. Apologies if it came out that way. I was stuck with things still not working even after making your suggested curl command changes. Then realized I hadn't changed the output directory variable to include the file name like you had. In troubleshooting why it was not working I ended up figuring out why the fetch command was not working originally. Figured i'd share my findings.

          If i had copied your changes exactly all would have worked perfectly.

            No worries my friend! I was more concerned that I had posted something that was not correct and would mess up someone's system other than my own!

            Thanks for the reply!

                        Hello Guys,

                        By me the GeoIP is not really working with the fix on this thread. What am i dooing wrong? i did this one.

                        mwexec("{$fetchcmd} -o {$output_dir}/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz -T 5 "{$geolite_city}"");
                        mwexec("{$fetchcmd} -o {$output_dir}/GeoLite2-ASN.tar.gz -T 5 "{$geoip_asnum}"");

                        and:

                        $geolite_city = "https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-City&license_key=xxxxxhidexxxxxxxxxxxx=tar.gz";
                        $geoip_asnum = "https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-ASN&license_key=xxxxxxxxhidexxxxxxxxx&suffix=tar.gz";

                          @erbalo the last update of plugin already fixed this. You need remove all patches, reinstall plugin and enter your maxmind api key in ntopng settings. Read comment of @viktor_g

                              @erbalo this notification about update in ntopng can't be applied to pfsense, as this update must be done by mainteiner of ntopng pfsense package.

                              After you entered license and saved config you click on update geoip database button? Doesn't know why you say that is not working when all fine, no issues. You can ssh to pfsense and check files modification dates if you not sure that you have latest databases or provide other details or proofs, not only words 'it not working'. Community can't help in such way.
