Forcing All Devices to Use pfSense for NTP (Correction NOT NNTP)

[KOM]

Try this.  It's DNS-specific but the concepts should still apply.

May seem nitpicky but do you actually mean NTP (Network Time Protocol)?

NNTP is a much different protocol (Network News Transfer Protocol, Usenet news groups).

If NTP is what you're after, then KOM's solution is the closest you'll get.

You're dating yourself. :)

You think so?
The latest RFC update concerning NNTP is from 2006. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3977

We still don't know if OP meant NNTP or (S)NTP.

Yep, just in time for the formal declaration of Usenet's death. :)

And yet here I am, 10 years later, still sending money to Giganews on a monthly basis.  You can still find lots of obscure, cool stuff via Usenet that isn't on torrent.

Thanks for catching that… I actually do know that... just some sloppy typing..... Maybe I should start another thread?  Also forget to set the notify me check, so I didn't notice it.

The answer you got from @KOM is the same way I handle NTP redirects(and DNS for that matter).
Works just fine in my environment ;)

Thanks… Just wondering does NTP validate the source in any way, or does simply routing traffic to the internal server that I want to handle it get the job done?

Thanks… I gave this a try, and... since I want to do the same thing with DNS, so I tried to do exactly what it said in the directions, and all DNS is blocked by the default deny - so for some reason this rule isn't getting triggered. Or am I missing something (or did I find a bug)?

Hi,
I also using the redirect all DNS request to OpenDNS servers for my LAN_2 users
This is my firewall rule for my LAN_2 users.  By this I prevent them for using another DNS, Only OpenDNS in this case.
