FreeBSD / OPNsense / pfSense Development Builds

This directory contains binary development builds.

As OPNsense/pfSense support a subset of the packages available on FreeBSD, ntop packages will include only features available in all distributions (i.e. features such as Kafka will not be supported as available in FreeBSD but not in the other distributions).
ntopng will create files on your pfSense/OPNsense device to store traffic data. If you have a device with limited disk space, please configure ntopng to store only a few timeseries to disk othewise you might fill all the available disk space and make your system unstable. Please refer to the ntopng user's guide for more information about this topic.

Adding the ntop Repository

Before installing ntop packages, you need to add the official ntop repository.

FreeBSD 14 / pfSense (latest release, based on FreeBSD 14)
pkg add https://packages.ntop.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD:14:amd64/latest/ntop-1.0.pkg
FreeBSD 13 / OPNsense (latest release, based on FreeBSD 13)
pkg add https://packages.ntop.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/ntop-1.0.pkg
FreeBSD 12 / OPNsense / pfSense (latest release, based on FreeBSD 12)
pkg add https://packages.ntop.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/ntop-1.0.txz

Once the ntop repository has been added, you can run the following commands (as root) to install ntop Packages:

pkg install nprobe ntopng n2disk

IMPORTANT:

As ntopng is part of FreeBSD makes sure that you install the ntop packaged version and not the one packaged with FreeBSD (and thus obsolete).

Below you can read how to start ntopng. Similar steps are necessary for nprobe and n2disk. Do (as root):

Make sure ntopng and redis (used by ntopng) are enabled
sysrc redis_enable="YES" sysrc ntopng_enable="YES"
Make sure redis is up and running
service redis start
Finally start ntopng
service ntopng start
