      I'm using the address "pool.ntp.org" for ntp server. Is it correct?

      My pfsense is on hardware.

      Do you have any solution without upgrade the pfsense for the last version?

        I've tried to adjust the timezone last week.
        My ntp status:

          Not saying that the update to current will fix your issue, but you should be current.

          pool.ntp.org is fine - you have it marked as pool.. And again what does the status ntp show.. Does it show its syncing?

          How much are you off by, few minutes, hours? Days?

          edit: Well that shows your fine.. So if your off from what you think it should be I would assume timezone problem.

          Why do you think you time is off?

            In Brazil we have the daylight saving time and when I use the "date" command on Shell, show me the right time, but in the dashboard show me an hour ahead. Current time is wrong.

              And what TZ are you set to in the general section? Brazil has what 4 different TZs

              What is the output of your date cmd, what tz does it show?

                I'm using the TZ America/Sao_Paulo.

                After typing the date command show:
                Mon Nov 11 15:28:50 -03 2019
                It's correct.

                But in the dashboard show me 16:28:50.

                        Yes, anything is wrong.

                        I guess that the better solution is upgrade the pfsense.

                          Not sure of all the changes - but its quite possible there was some change to TZ info between your version and current, etc.. I would for sure update to current... And then if we find a problem with the TZ settings we can submit the problem.

                            Also, under System > General Setup, pick a Timezone with a geographic name close to you, do not pick GMT +/- offset type zone.

                                        Sorry, I've answered wrong.

                                        Today, I'll try to change my time manually.

                                          @jimp I'm from Brazil and under System > General Setup, pick a Timezone > using "Etc/GMT +3 (3 hours BEHIND GM)" fix the problem for me. We usually use "America/Sao Paulo" and it works in other systems (TrueNas ie). I guess is something related to tzdata version used with pfSense or the way php is reading the value.
                                          It will be fixed in the 2.5 release https://forum.netgate.com/topic/158490/pfsense-php-time-is-incorrect-in-america-sao_paulo-time-zone/17
