      Dear,
      I have a pfSense computer installed with IP 192.168.1.1. I installed the "ntopng" package because I need to measure Internet traffic each IP of my LAN.
      ntopng settings: I have marked Enable ntopng and I entered and repeated password is requested. Then I gave SAVE. But when trying to access ntopng remains waiting and waiting until he tells me I spend too much time and the page can not be loaded. The URL that is set in the address bar is 192.168.1.1:3000, I manage pfsense with Firefox through the direction of the PC pfSense is 192.168.1.1 then it seems to use ntopng need to change port and passes this . Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you.

        This issue should be postet here https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?board=39.0

        Ensure that pfSense allow access to 192.168.1.1:3000 on the appropriate interface. Maybe you have to add a firewall rule for that.

            Since you have configured your pfSense to allow only access via https you have also to access ntop via https. So try https://192.168.1.1:3000

                    In System > Advanced > Admin Access. But this will make no difference.

                    Just seen your WAN IP is 192.168.1.1.  So have you unchecked "Block private networks" in the interface settings?

                      My WAN IP don't is 192.168.1.1, so 192.168.1.1 is my LAN IP. WAN IP and W2 IP are static IPs provide by my ISP… for LAN IP and WAN IP and W2 IP I have unchecked Block private networks

                        @gustavo4001:

                        My WAN IP don't is 192.168.1.1, so 192.168.1.1 is my LAN IP.

                        So you've set the rule for accessing pfSense on the wrong interface.
                        Open the rule and change the interface to LAN.

                                I see. So edit the rule allowing the access and enable logging.
                                Also enable logging of the default block rule in Status > System Logs > Settings.

                                Then check the firewall logs for entries relating to the access to 192.168.1.1:3000.

                                  I enabled logs for the rula and enabled logs of default block rule. No traces for 192.168.1.1 , but yes traces for rest IPs of my LAN. I think no problem of firewall, could be IIS of pfSense is stopped? I unknow I am thinking…. :-\

                                    That makes no sense. Since your are able to access the Web GUI at 192.168.1.1 from a PC you should also be able to access 192.168.1.1:3000 as long as there is no other device between the PC and pfSense which block that.

                                    Albeit if ntopng isn't working you must see the access in the firewall logs.

So I closed the browser, but when I try open now http://192.168.1.1 it wait… waut and not load!!!!!!! go by timeout... Also when display timeout automatically it change URL to https://192.168.1.1  :-[

                                        The only quick idea I have to this, you can set it back to https in the console interface.
                                        Go through the LAN address setting, set the IP and mask again. At the end of this you will be ask if you want to allow access via https.

                                          Finally I solved webConfigurator access enter by 8) Shell in console and editig /conf/config.xml , so I have put <protocol>https</protocol> so I restart and it works, by some cause it works only with with https, so I think it is root of the problem ntopng not load , it still persist
