      I'm having the problem where my pfsense device (installed on watchguard xtm 5 series) is majorly out of sync. On system start it's saying the date is:

      March 24th on the startup message
      March 24th on the device itself (home screen)
      June 7th on the logs when I enter a correct/incorrect password

      What I've tried:
      Factory resets
      Changing NTP servers
      Literally hundreds of restarts
      Looking at google extensively (nothing helped)

      Any assistance?

        1: Boot offset could be your Bios (hw) clock being wrong.
        Check & Correct

        2: Investigate the NTP peers
        Diagnostics -> Command prompt
        Run the command : ntpq -p
