NTP stopped after WAN went down briefly

[134]

I restarted the ISP-provided modem (in bridge mode), Opnsense then get new WAN address as usual but NTP daemon stopped permanently and could not be manually started unless I have to reboot the firewall.

My guess is that it was listening on an interface that track WAN for IPv6 address, and somehow WAN going down caused this.

Here's the full log:

I have the same issue happening. Unfortunately, I do not know how to permanently fix it, as this happens everytime the WAN goes down. The issue is that a second process is running but it is not seen by the GUI. You can check by using

Code: [Select]

ps ax | grep ntp on the shell.
If you kill that process

Code: [Select]

killall ntpd then you are able to start the ntp from the GUI again and it is recognized as running (icon goes green). There is no reboot required.
