Hi, Thanks! no way 😂 you redirected me to my own post but on another forum. Unfortunately, the router in bridge mode is not an option for now. I was mainly looking for guidance on LAN/WAN/NAT rules that could be interfering without me realising it, rather than a network-level solution, or perhaps if there is some peculiarity of the NTP protocol that we were overlooking. Or a way to diagnose it. The tcpcump of the interface doesn’t say much, and this command: ```auto ntpdate -dv 0.es.pool.ntp.org ``` has this output: ```auto erver 212.227.145.233, port 123 stratum 2, precision -24, leap 00, trust 000 refid [152.78.229.49], root delay 0.036499, root dispersion 0.037933 reference time: ed2f082e.0567378f Thu, Feb 5 2026 13:14:38.021 originate timestamp: ed2f0db7.430a798f Thu, Feb 5 2026 13:38:15.261 transmit timestamp: ed2f0db6.707ebb4b Thu, Feb 5 2026 13:38:14.439 filter delay: 0.04776 0.04517 0.05122 0.04518 ---- ---- ---- ---- filter offset: +0.813946 +0.812655 +0.815561 +0.812643 ---- ---- ---- ---- delay 0.04517, dispersion 0.00067, offset +0.812655 5 Feb 13:38:14 ntpdate[42776]: step time server 172.233.111.111 offset +0.805528 sec ``` however, this other one: ```auto root@opnsense:~ # ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 0.es.pool.ntp.o .POOL. 16 p - 64 0 0.000 +0.000 0.000 1.es.pool.ntp.o .POOL. 16 p - 64 0 0.000 +0.000 0.000 2.pool.ntp.org .POOL. 16 p - 64 0 0.000 +0.000 0.000 ``` On the other hand, I’m still waiting for my ISP to respond regarding forwarding UDP port 123 inbound from my router’s WAN to OPNsense. I also checked this post [link](https://community.ntppool.org/t/time-error-0x41-clock-unsynchronized/2575/9), and I also get “ntpd exiting on signal 15 (Terminated)” 😔 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.ntppool.org/t/ntp-not-working/4236)._
