Do you have NTP enabled?
NTP servers rarely change IP addresses - use addresses instead of DNS names.
It is. I still let my recommendation stand - you should adapt your NTP configuration to use local servers, e.g. provided by your ISP. E.g. I use the official german time source by PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) everywhere. They have four public servers with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Yes. But it is a cascading failure.- Box boots with date 01-01-2012
Do you have a hardware defect ? You could simply solve it by changing a battery:https://www.duracell.com/en-us/products/lithium-coin-batteries/
My router forgets date-time if it gets shut down. I believe its either incompatibility of RTC clock hardware with FreeBSD (OS not updating RTC clock) or battery (just replaced it or just my luck.To set date back to correct one, I need to ssh into the box and issue "date" command. It would be nice to set date and time using GUI. Thanks! And it is a great project!PS: Box is Lenovo M73 (10AX) micro PC with added 2nd Eth card.
Yes. But it is a cascading failure.- Box boots with date 01-01-2012. - NTP starts and tries to DNS resolve configured servers- DNS requests go to Unbound, who tries to connect to upstream DNS servers using DoT (DNS over TLS)- Unbound fails to connect due to TLS error - difference between 2012 and 2024 years.
By "everywhere" do you as well push dhcp option 42 to your host on the network? Having them set and use those specific NTP servers you mentioned?
