      Hey guys

      Is there a best practise setup/configuration for ntop on pfSense? And is the GeoLite2 DB download working? I have an license key, but in ntopng I got the issue, that ntop is running without geolocation support.

        Just upgraded to 21.05/2.5.2 and am greeted with this nifty window when logging into ntopng:
        baf5caa5-4f3a-48a9-9da4-9d1fb5adab2c-image.png
        The instructions link is this https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/blob/dev/doc/README.geolocation.md.

        Package Manager says it is:
        0.8.13_10

        And logging into ntopng says it is:
        4.2.210601 (0) - Community Edition

        EDIT: Solved
        Solution:

        1. Go to Diagnostics->ntopng Settings->Utilities->GeoLite2 DB License Key, press Update GeoLite2DB button
        2. Restart ntopng service

        You may see that the old files (pre-upgrade) are still on disk.

        Manually running fails ntopng-geoip2update.sh:

        ntopng-geoip2update.sh 
        Fetching GeoLite2-City
        fetch: https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz: No address record
        GeoLite2-City.tar.gz download failed
        

        EDIT: My MaxMind settings are in pfBlockerNG. Wrong, they are in Diagnostics->ntopng Settings->Utilities->GeoLite2 DB License Key.

        Maybe an issue with the upgrade? My MaxMind settings are in pfBlockerNG.
