      @stephenw10 said in NTP Issue:

      Just go to Diag > States in the webgui and filter by :123 to see the ntp states.

      You should see a state on the interface connected to the ntp server with no corresponding state on another interface. That will be the state opened from the firewall itself.

      It's usually pretty obvious but you likely have a bunch of ntp states so it might be more difficult to spot.

      Thanks for that, by the way. I tend to only look and remember exactly what I'm looking for in a list. I had no idea this option was available.

        That's in 2.7.2? I note the states are shown as on 'all' interfaces. Which should be fine but potentially could hide an asymmetric route. It wouldn't block ntp though.

        So it looks like two traffic to both servers. I assume they are still reported as 'unreach'?

        I would next run a pcap for that traffic and see what's actually being sent.

        If you enable all the logging in ntpd do you see any additional errors?

          Only error is the bad checksum.
          This is logging everything on the OPT2 port because that's all that port does.

                why in your server response are these all exactly the same numbers.. They should have differences.

                they are different when you talk to different outside servers.. But the answers from your internal server the numbers are exactly the same.

                that doesn't make sense.. There should be some processing time.. even if it was 0.000000001

                edit: here is my pfsense talking to my pi ntp server..

                Makes no sense the answer from your ntp server that there is no difference in those numbers..

                Also this makes no sense either.. So client talking to the ntp server, gets its answer in .000137 seconds.. So .1 of a ms.. Is your ntp server on the same VM host as your pfsense? How are you sending traffic over ethernet to some other device and getting an answer in .1 of a ms?

                Even the best of networks your going to be looking at like .5 of a ms..

                so your client (pfsense) talking to your ntp server sent a query over the wire, and got its response in 137 micro seconds.. And your ntp server took not even 1 nano second to process it? Something not right there..

                  Hmm, interesting. I understand it's probably a very good ntp server but....

                    @stephenw10 yeah something is screwy.. Did he say his other client set time off this.. But are they using actual ntp, or just a sntp/timedate sort of client? this just pulls the time at that moment - it doesn't do any sort of adjustments on the client clock to keep them in sync - and doubt it cares about these numbers.. But I know a normal ntp client uses these numbers in calculating delay, etc. Maybe those numbers being the same is throwing off the calculation so ntp doesn't accept the response?

                    All I know is it seems odd that the ntp server would have exact numbers like that.

                      Woah. This is what happens when you post when you really want to go to bed. I did a quick look for errors and totally ignored the numbers.
                      Some of the clients around the house are using SNTP because they're dumb boxes, but the main windows machines are running with a real NTP client from Meinberg and they're calculating the delay, offset and jitter with no issues. I'll do some more captures later and pay more attention. It's new car day, so I've got distractions .

                      I may have to resurrect the Pi NTP servers and see what happens when they're supplying data. About five years ago, I had five of them with various GPS input, all comparing against each other to test peering and delay interaction.
                      There are no VM's in the house at this point.

                        Yeah, no NTP servers are that good. Even the 10 gigabit ones with reflectors..
