      There is now an ntopng package available for pfSense 2.1.4 and later. The 800lb Gorilla of network monitoring lives on.

      Works similar to the old ntop package, but with the shiny new version. Remove ntop before installing.

      Install the package, go to Diag > ntopng settings, set an admin password, pick any other options you like, then Save. Click Diag > ntopng to visit its GUI.

      It will whinge about the version being out of date, but that will be OK on the 2.2 version of the package (which should be up in an hour or two)

          I thought I was happy with ntop, but that was before I saw ntopng. :-)

              I pushed a fix for that a bit ago, it'll be OK shortly.

                Thanks Jimp!

                I had a small bounty for this ($50).Β  You want it or want me to donate it?

                  We can't take direct donations anymore. It's not quite enough for a Gold subscription or I'd say just get one of those. But you can pick up some stuff from the pfSense store with that and you'll get some swag out of it on top of us getting a cut. :-)

                      Thank you so much jimp!
                      I thought I will never see ntop on pfSense anymore.
                      I was on 2.2-ALPHA August 9 and it was not showing up under packages then I updated to the latest Aug 15 version and its still not there, any suggestions?

                      I like to fill my tub up with water, then turn the shower on and act like I'm in a submarine that's been hit!

                        It won't compile right now on 2.2, the port is broken on FreeBSD 10.x. The ntopng author is working with the port maintainer to get it corrected.

                          I'm trying to get it to compile in various ways but no success yet.

                            Thanks jimp! I appreciate your efforts!
                            Can't use v2.1.4 on my Shuttle DS437 because nics are not supported.
                            At least there's some hope :D

                                It's live now on 2.2. Works fine on my test VM anyhow. Give it a spin.

                                    Interesting. I installed this on a test machine with two physical NICs and the menu options for NTOPNG appeared under my Diagnostics menu. It showed traffic flowing from my internal NIC without any problem. I then installed it on my production system and can't see the ntopng men item under the Diagnostics menu at all! Both machines are running pfSense 2.1.4. The only real difference between both boxes is that my production system is operating a captive portal and my two internal NICs on the production system are set as VLANs sharing the same physical network card. So my first question is why isn't the Diagnostics menu showing the ntopng items? My second query is whether ntopng will work with a VLAN-tagged NIC bound to a physical NIC? I can get the ntopng page to load (port 3000), but it's monitoring only the outside network card and no other NICs are available as options.

                                    I appreciate this is an alpha release, so I won't set my hopes too high that this might be resolved soon.

                                        In deed this a 800lb Gorilla!
                                        It works and I love it. Only one thing that does not work is a GeoMap it looks like it needs to be compalied with geolocation but that's not a big deal.

                                          My geolocation seems to work.Β  It shows everything coming from my city and shows the routes to the major feeds.

                                          this new ntop is visually a complete rewrite and way over the top of what I expected.

                                            I'm assuming for geolocation you didn't need to change anything?
