Hello,

You can use Stefan’s build if you are on x86_64:

  https://people.ipfire.org/~stevee/fireinfo_python3_x86_64.tar.gz

He was even very smart and renamed the “sendprofile” command into “sendprofile3” so that you can run both versions and compare.

I didn’t upload a binary version here because I do not want to encourage to download and extract tarballs as root on the firewall. But it should be fine on a development system :)
