      Having an issue with plain ol' Windows Time - i.e. when someone on a Windows box goes to click "sync now" it does not work. Hoping there's a quick fix or something I'm overlooking. On a regular "linksys" type router, same WAN service, this has zero issues - Windows syncs the time just fine.

      NTP to an internet address works just fine (and this is how I keep time in sync on Windows machines, I just have a script kick off that runs straight NTP on a regularly scheduled basis to set the time), and so the average *nix or android box has no issues.

      This has been an issue for me for a long time across multiple software revisions of Pfsense, along with different hardware configurations, and I've tried this with and without IPv6 in the mix, and doing this with a regular vanilla installation with nothing but the basic next-->next configured - all to the same effect. When I ran a packet capture on a Windows box, the error seemed to have something to do with the action around the Azure traffic manager "dns" entry for the windows time service - seemed to be denying packets. Thanks in advance!
