Also – with the latest versions – does the hierarchical configuration of ntopng 
still work the same way with the ZMQ interfaces as was described in 2018?

Hi,

If ntopng only have access to tunneled traffic, there is no much that can be 
done. OpenVPN traffic is encrypted. But if you have access to the machine 
running OpenVPN - Sec.Bridge.Dev I guess - then the traffic can be before it 
enters the tunnel. I believe Sec.Bridge.Dev will have a tunXXX interface. You 
should try and run ntopng on that interface with -i tunXX.

Hi – so, I’ve run into an issue with ghost networks.  I can see the ghost 
networks.  That’s fine.  My situation is that I am using an OpenVPN based layer 
2 over layer 3 tunnel between security devices.

Devices:
Cameras: 2
Management Laptop: 1
Security Edge Devices 3
Security Bridge Device: 1 (this device runs ntopng)

Diagram is basically:

Camera1<>Sec.Edg.Dev1<-> Sec.Bridge.Dev <->Sec.Edg.Dev2<-> Camera2
                                                             
<->Sec.Edg.Dev3<->Laptop

Cameras and laptop have device IP addresses in 192.168.x.0/24

Edge devices make a secure tunnel on 172.31.X.0/24
192.168.X.0 is a ghost network.
Ntopng on bridge device records traffic on the bridge network (for example 
interface br50), as well as other interfaces on the bridge device (this is a 
Debian 9 VM that communicates over a network to the edge devices – which may be 
geographically dispersed.)


The issue is that anything on the “bridge” interface and a ghost network device 
– I only see the broadcast and multicast traffic of those devices.  I believe 
the 3.x ntopng and the 4.1 ntopng (before the big change) – recorded the 
unicast traffic of the ghost devices (I’ve been using ntopng since 2017 – and 
while I no longer have any older code versions running – I believe I was seeing 
unicast traffic from a camera to a laptop (through the bridge).

What happened?  What can be done?  Am I doing anything wrong?     (traffic flow 
is from laptop to camera – through the bridge device – I should be able to see 
the http/https traffic between the laptop and camera – but I do not.)
