      If you can talk to them then your reach should be 377..

      And your offsets are so large not going to adjust anyway.. Set the time on the pfsense box to be somewhere close to start with.

      Your connectivity is just broken from those jitter values..

          Is is possible to remove all your firewall and NAT rules - and put in place the default pass all rule on LAN ?

            Well your not really talking to them... So the reach will go up as you get back answers.. it tells you how many out of the last 8 queries you got answers for... Normal is 377.. 7 means HORRIBLE!!! You could do the math to match up which ones got an answer..

            7 would mean only the last 3 have gotten an answer
            00000111

            377
            11111111
            would mean you got answers for the last 8 queries.

            What are your reaches now? When they are 377 and stay there you have a stable connection to the ntp servers.

                  well if you can not resolve - then no nobody would be in the list..

                  Not sure why you are worried about ntp.. Does the wan get an IP from your isp - is it public or rfc1918.. What does the quality graph show? Can pfsense ping say 8.8.8.8 from the diag, ping tool?

                    I am glad you all help me with this.

                    Pfsense deliver NTP as a funktion so. I think that should work when it come with the box. Time is important. If not correct time with your hardware to getting trubbel in the end with other. Like when you deliver active directory for one example. It seams DHCP is also in need of time. But the thing is that I want it to work and function correctly before I move on. Not like to have failing funktionalitet in the network. Btw I feel some responses loss in web GUI when time is not Correct. Sometime it frozen for a minute.

                    With that sad.

                    I call my ISP to get a IP adress that's are derectly to the internet. If I didn't do that I don't get a fake ip that's not directly to internet and gets some limitations.

                    I did some more testing in ssh when I update time manually.

                    Have no idea why it say like this.

                    I have sett correct location and that is Sweden Stockholm in web GUI. And when I ping 8.8.8.8

                    [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/root: ping 8.8.8.8
                    PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes

                    And i get back all NTP servers in the list now. And that are 377 now. Start Frome 7 and get higher more I waited. But still saying unreachable 😭

                    I did remove all NAT rules and open up WAN for everything to see if it working better.

                    LAN is already open as defoult.

                          Lets freaking forget ntp for the time being..

                          You show a block on your lan for dhcp that 0.0.0.0:68 are you not running dhcp server on your lan on pfsense?

                          If you enable dhcp server on pfsense lan - then there would be hidden rules to allow that traffic - since your seeing blocked, then you don't have it enabled?

                          There should be ZERO rules on your wan!!! unless you want a specific port forward..

                          Your ntp seems to be working from you latest screen shot, see the 377 reach. But your offset is still HUGE.. Do you have a timezone issue.. What do you have timezone set in the gui too? Make sure its correct and then reboot pfsense.

                          simple date cmd will show you time, date and zone

                            Default to what ? A Linux based system ? A pure FreeBSD install ? Maybe.
                            This is pfSense, based on the FreeBSD kernel OS.

                            Check /var/etc/ntpd.conf ^^

                            This file is build by pfSense (GUI settings) just before pfSense start the time demaon.
