pfSense » pfSense Packages

This is a tracking issue for a significant number of changes to pfSense-pkg-ntopng.

The list of changes to the package is as follows:

• Update for PHP 8.

• Support newly required Account ID for MaxMind GeoLite2 downloads.

• Run ntopng without root privileges.

• Add option to disable setting promiscuous mode on monitored interfaces.

• Allow selection of a specific interface for the ntopng server to listen on.

• Add support for the ntopng server listening on IPv6 addresses.

• Move ntopng configuration options from the command line into a configuration file. This allows for credentials, such as those required by dump-flows, to be secured.

• Support the addition of configuration lines outside those directly supported by the pfSense ntop package UI. This allows for customization beyond the capabilities of the package, such as importing or exporting flows to another ntopng instance.

• Use the demonize capability of the redis server.

• Record in redis that the admin password has already been set. Without this, ntopng forces the change of the admin password on first access.

• Provide an option to delete ntopng data (traffic and alerts) without destroying the ntopng configuration (preferences and customizations).

• Clarify the use of the local networks setting, and remove unnecessary options. Selected/monitored networks are already considered as local by ntopng. The --local-networks option is only used for adding networks that are not already known.

• Support setting names for additional local networks.

A PR will be available shortly.
