Introduction:

In our ongoing commitment to maintaining a secure and reliable network, we have recently taken the precautionary measure of blocking NTP traffic across our network. This decision was made in response to a growing risk of (DDoS) attacks specifically targeting NTP servers, which can disrupt network services and compromise security.

NTP servers used:

To ensure that your servers continue to function optimally and maintain accurate time settings, we recommend configuring them to use the following NTP servers:

ntp.netforchoice.com

time.google.com

time.cloudflare.com
