Yuri, your writing give me confidence to do fresh install of both ntopng
and nprobe. I followed the same steps and it worked:).

In my office machine , I was restarting/starting the ntopng from the
windows service tab. This time , I started using command-line.

Or what about local-fw does it have to be turned off?


Does ordering matters? Thanks.
