      Can I sync Pfsense time separately? Will the service break if I do that?

        Does this happen if there is a communication problem with 'TimeServers'?

        This network can only communicate with Korea.

        Currently 'Timeservers' is 0.pfsense.pool.ntp.org.

          Well I do not know if 0.pfsense.pool.ntp.org has any IPs in Korea... But my question is what is the time on pfsense.. and what is the time on your pc... They could for sure be using different time sources.. Doesn't matter - time should still be the same..

            Setting time zone to 'Asia / Seoul' is different from actual Korean time

              It looks like the graphing that is done client side is initially failing as it's trying to show a few minutes but there is actually a 9hr offset there.

              Set the timezone correctly in System > General Setup. Set at least one ntp server there it can connect to.

                'Timezone' Asia / Seoul

                Setting it to 'TimeServer' Korea NTP server does not change anything.

                Pfsense Tue Jan 28 09:17:15 KST 2020
                Korea Time Tue Jan 28 00:15:10 KST 2020

                  It can take a while to sync to NTP when the time is that far out.

                  You can set the time and date manually using the date command. That should get it close enough to sync quicker using NTP.

                    Maybe it's my server computer problem.
                    I'll check and comment on this afternoon...

                      Lets forget the timezone thing for a bit.. your time still looks to be off if that those are your pfsense and you client your viewing the web gui from... Even when in different time zones your minutes should be the same.. you have a 17:15 for minutes:seconds and 15:10 for minutes:seconds - which is right about the time your seeing in delay of info right, couple of minutes.

                        Right the graph is mostly client side generated right? I will admit to not being all that sure on that!

                        It starts out with a 9hr time difference in the data so you see almost nothing until it has enough data start scrolling and drops that first data point.

                        Seems almost certain to be relate to the client/server time difference there. More likely the server.

                            devices can be in different timezones... And still be the same time... UTC vs CST for example... Doesn't matter - the problem is your times are off more than just the timezone difference!

                              I was just uncomfortable checking the graph late.

                              Thank you for your help.

                                Well make sure you devices times line up.. Be it they are in different timezones or not.. The minutes:seconds should be the same... Hours would just be off by the different timezones. You shouldn't have to wait couple of minutes for graphs to populate.

                                  Yes, if the time is set correctly on both devices this will not be a problem. It looks like the pfSense end is ~9hrs out currently.

                                    It looks like my server computer problem.

                                    If you install it on another server computer, the time is just right and the graph is displayed immediately.

                                    Thank you for your help.

                                      Well correct the time... Not sure why this thread is still going on?

                                        In fact, not only this but there are other problems as well, so I think I need to replace the server computer...
