I have my FritzBox 7590 set to use time.cloudflare.com as its NTP server. However I've noticed these in the logs - and the server 80.240.216.155 seems to be in Russia.

 

Could anyone please check their device to see if this is happening for you too?

I checked my "all" logs, I can't see any mention of "time server" or "NTP" in the logs since then.

 

On my 7590 I have set "ntp.snap.net.nz" as my NTP server. It's under Home Network -> Network -> Network Settings -> Additional.

Mines set same as Timmmays'

 

Only time entry is

 

09.06.20 22:20:57 The system time was updated successfully by time server 202.37.101.1.

Over 7 months ago, nothing about time server since, though it has the correct time.

Looks like Russia has made it into the fritz.

Guess you should take it out back... Maybe vf will offer you a deco...

pool.ntp returns random server IPs every hour so that could explain the Russia one. Why did the FritzBox tried the pool.ntp server is the question then - perhaps a default in their firmware when they couldn't connect to the server I have specified in the configuration?

 

I have noticed my desktop having problems with resolution - even with different DNS, so I have restarted the FritzBox this morning.

FritzBox is a German product. It should just work 😋

Not all Russians are evil just because of their government. ;-)
And I assume the Russian NTP server just works as well. And if not, my stratum-1 NTP server contributes already as part of the project. ;-)

Don't let all clients link to the NTP server it drops you when asked to often. Usually only the router should take the time from it and the clients should use the FritzBox base address within your network for further distribution.

I see ns2.snap.net.nz (202.37.101.2) was used as time server on my Fritz. Not sure if that is default or not?

 

No Russian NTP ips.

I think if the specified NTP server fails for any reason the Fritz will fallback to NTP.org

I will test this later when my desktop is on again.
