Thanks Jeremy for that answer. After reading it, I tcpdump the interface of the 
web browser (Safari in my case) I use to connect to ntopng on tcp/3000 and I 
found that it is the browser that need the Internet connection, isn’t it ? 
because I saw a few ssl (tcp/443) connection with Google server to fetch the 
map api information. So, my understanding now is that the server where run 
ntopng doesn’t Internet connection to work properly with geoip but the client 
browser does. Does that make sens ?
