      @Cleetus-Antony oh we got 2 different threads going with different things... In one the pool is not working, and your the guy with timezone issue??

      Packet capture should be in utc.. IST is what 5.5 hours ahead of UTC?

      I am behind UTC by 5 hours in CDT.. So yeah a packet capture timestamps will be off by what timezone your in - packetcaptures are always in zulu or utc..

      You sure seem to be working?? I asked you to sniff on your wan.. your wan is 192.168.10.32? Your behind a nat?

      I see sending in that sniff - but I don't see any reply.. Not sure what you expect to happen if you don't get an answer - no ntp is not going to work if there is no answer..

        Capture.PNG Homescreen.PNG

        pfsense WAN is 192.168.10.32. I am behind a NAT of FTTH modem.

        In my capture attached the time is correct. So the pfsense is taking correct time.
        But why this correct time is not reflecting in my home screen.. also not working my rules as per the configured schedule... thats my worry.

        CDT time I mentioned earlier was just a test. Now I set with IST which is correct as per my country.

          @Cleetus-Antony Looks like your getting a reply.. What does your ntp status show?

          Yes the packet capture will show the time in UTC, ie zulu or GMT whatever you want to call it.. It will be different than your timezone.

          What do you mean your home screen?

          Is that pfsense talking to ntp servers or some client behind pfsense? As I already stated make sure no client are talking to outside ntp.. Before you showed sending ntp but no answer..

            Dear Mr. John and other Gentlemen who attended this thread,
            I put and end to this issue by assigning static IP to the WAN. Now I am gettig correct time. Looks like pfsense was polutted by the dhcp from the ISP router.

            Thank you guys for your valuable suggestions.

            Cheers..!
            Cleetus

                I read it as their was a ISP router infront of Pf Sense. That was not mentioned until now.

                    I believe I mentioned it here in some of my replies.

                      You've posted your question in the captive portal forum ...
                      Do you use a captive portal - as that would explain a lot.
                      Is your question "captive portal" related ?

                      You've also posted / changed on to a thread that dates from 2016. That extremely old, from the 16 bit times, these days were all using 64 bits systems.
                      You issue can't be the same.

                      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                        Please be informed that I am a beginner in this pfsense and first time I am using this support portal. I entered into this thread by the google search.
                        Net time I will keep in mind your points.
