Pfsense as an NTP seerver

[TyMac]

I am trying to configure the ntp server on my pfsense router but I cannot get and client computers to connect. I choose the interface that my vlan is associated with but I cannot telnet to port 123. Do I need to configure a firewall rule?

Obviously.

More information required.  Are you trying to get to it via WAN or LAN?

but I cannot telnet to port 123

How do you figure you're going to test a UDP service with telnet???

Do I need to configure a firewall rule?

Allowing or restricting access base on rules is what a firewall is all about.

NTP is only listening on UDP.

Yes, unless you have a permissive "Default allow LAN to any rule".
