Time synchronization - Hyper V Question

centuryx476 · Mar 18, 2016, 12:49 AM

Hello,
So I have a pfsense VM running in a Hyper-V BOX.

The pfsense VM is running my openVPN. SO I noticed that the latency in the Gateway for the VM was at 6409ms which is really high.

I disabled the "Time synchronization" option in the Integration Services and that resolved the problem and it is down to 0.4ms which is more normal.

My question is if I have this option disabled what negative consequences can I expect from this on the VM ?

Can this ruin the openVPN connection, could it cause a memory leak, random crashes, ect?

Thank You

Since disabling have you had any issues?

You need to either disable that, or disable NTP time sync inside the VM, judging by what other Hyper-V users have reported on that particular issue.

Nope it has been up and running since I did the disable and I have had ZERO issues.
