Locale the line: "/usr/local/bin/ntopng -d /var/db/ntopng -G /var/run/ntopng.pid -s -e -community &".Find section: "# Create DB dir before starting, in case it was removed.This is done by running the command: vi /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc This is done my modifying ntopng.inc from the pfSense ntop package. This is done by running the command: pkg add ħ: Install the latest NtopNG build for FreeBSD12/pfSense by running the command: pkg install ntopngĨ: We then need to make sure NtopNG is launched in community edition and not expecting a license file.

This is done by running the command: pkg remove -f ndpiĥ: Clean up the left over files from the old package. This is done by running the command: pkg remove -f ntopngĤ: Remove the legacy ndpi package that was installed by the pfSense package. The first guide is how to update Intel/AMD64 based devices to the current latest build provided by :ġ: Install the pfSense "ntopng" package (0.8.13_10) that is available in the package managerĢ: SSH to your pfSense, and open a Command Shell (option 8)ģ: Remove ONLY the buggy NtopNG v5.0.xxx package that was installed by the pfSense package. So I figured out a standardized way to change the NtopNG version used in the pfSense package. So after investigating further I found out that the 0.8.13_10 package is merely a wrapper that provides the pfSense interface part of having a standard NtopNG install run as a launched process Daemon. Both are buggy as he**, and in dire need of version updates.Īfter a bit of investigation I found out that NtopNG can run both as a Service and as a launched process Daemon - the latter being the way pfSense packages provides "services". The current pfSense NtopNG package (0.8.13_10) contains an old v5.0 NtopNG build for pfSense 2.6/22.01 and a v4.0 build for older pfSense versions and ARM64/aarch64 based appliances.daily publish the current NtopNG build for freeBSD/pfSense to their own repository - AMD64 only, so it's easy to get the most current version for x86-64 based devices.But it relies on installing it as a service which is not supported or maintained across pfSense updates. actually has a guide on how to install a current NtopNG on pfSense.Turned out that was a lot easier than I thought, so I decided to write this short guide to help people get a current NtopNG version on pfSense. after a lot of frustrations with the current - buggy - NtopNG package for pfSense (Which is very seldomly updated), I decided to investigate how NtopNG actually works on pfSense - with the hope of being able to update to a current NtopNG v5.3 build.
