HowTo Use Cloud Licenses

As discussed in our spring webinar, it is now possible to use (in beta) cloud licenses with ntopng and nProbe.

This is good news for those who use containers or VMs as they do no have to pay attention to the systemId anymore. If you want …

ntop Cloud: Security Design and Architecture

In late 2023 we have announced the beginning of a new project we have called ntop Cloud. The first goal of this project is to enable ntop applications to communicate regardless of the network topology where they are deployed, This in a secure way. In essence we want to create a new network overlay that allow ntop applications to communicate and share data. Some use cases: Be notified when a ntop application is no longer active or more in general when it changes its status. Implement a public web interface …
