GEOIP Google Maps

[schuc]

This is on a Protectli FW4B running OpnSense 21.7.4 and Suricata 6.0.3_3.

I would like to see a Google map of connections between OpnSense systems and remote locations.  From what I have read, this cannot be done within OpnSense itself, but it can be done in the ntopng package added into OpnSense.  I have already created the Maxmind key and set that up as an alias in OpnSense in case that comes into play.

I have installed the ntopng package and it appears to be working fine except for showing any kind of a google map for connections.  In ntopng if igb1(LAN) is selected, then a 'Maps' menu appears and the only item in it is 'Hosts'.  If System is selected, there is no Maps menu on the left.

Shouldn't Maps->Hosts show a Google Map with connection lines so I can see which countries there are connections with?

Thanks for any guidance on how to get Google Maps setup to show connection maps.

Does this help...?

Thanks for your reply @benyamin.  Looking at that thread, there is a link to https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/blob/dev/doc/README.geolocation.md and the first step says:

Install package ntopng-data which pulls in MaxMind downloader geoipupdate as dependency

I do not have 'ntopng-data' in my package list in OpnSense.  Do you see that as an available package in your list?

Even though the package is missing from my OpnSense list, I tried to bring the files over manually.  I am not able to curl the files in for some reason.  I am logged into a local admin account and using sudo says I'm not in the sudo list.

If you look at this part of the readme, it says to manually download the files from your MaxMind account page.

It says to grab ASN and City, but I note the OPNsense post says to grab Country too.

Just do that on a PC then use SFTP, SCP, or similar to copy them to OPNsense.

If you cannot sudo then check Sudo settings at System: Settings: Administration > Authentication or maybe consider adding your user to the wheel group.
