Please consider running a NTP server in the NTP Pool
20 days ago
- The NTP Pool is in constant need of more servers due to massive global demand from various devices, including most Linux distributions, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, consumer routers, printers, and embedded devices.
- Joining is easy and requires a low-resource setup: a VPS with a shared vcore and modest bandwidth can handle millions of queries daily, with minimal CPU and bandwidth usage.
- A key warning is that it's a long-term commitment; even after removal, traffic to your server on UDP port 123 may persist for years due to hardcoded NTP client configurations in legacy devices.
