FreeBSD / OPNsense / pfSense Development Builds

This directory contains binary development builds.

Adding the ntop Repository

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

• 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

• FreeBSD 11 / pfSense (past release, based on FreeBSD 11)

  pkg add https://packages.ntop.org/FreeBSD/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/ntop-1.0.txz

Installing ntop Packages

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).

Running ntop Packages

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

1. Make sure ntopng and redis (used by ntopng) are enabled

   sysrc redis_enable="YES" sysrc ntopng_enable="YES"

2. Make sure redis is up and running

   service redis start

3. Finally start ntopng

   service ntopng start
