      During this night from saturday to sunday, my geographical region changed the local time from EST to DST.

      My NTP servers are set to my country but the passage from EST to DST does not seem to be forced.

      Is there a way to enable automatic time change ?

        It changed for me, on both pfsense and computer behind it. Don't forget, NTP provides UTC and it's up to the client to provide the offset from it. On Linux, data is downloaded to provide the DST dates and I expect the same happens on FreeBSD.

        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          Strange because all my devices get their NTP time from my pfSense. And, while my Windows for instance, adjusted to DST, pfSense itself did not.
