In most cases it's best to use pool.ntp.org to find an NTP server (or 0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, etc if you need multiple server names). The system will try finding the closest available servers for you.

The pool.ntp.org project is a big virtual cluster of timeservers providing reliable, easy to use NTP service for millions of clients. The pool is being used by hundreds of millions of systems around the world. It's the default "time server" for most of the major Linux distributions and many networked appliances (see information for vendors).

The NTP pool is a dynamic collection of networked computers that volunteer to provide highly accurate time via the Network Time Protocol to clients worldwide. The machines that are "in the pool" are part of the pool.ntp.org domain as well as of several subdomains divided by geographical zone and are distributed to NTP clients via round-robin DNS .

Mar 15, 2024 · The NTP Pool currently lists 4.7 thousand NTP servers. How does it decide what NTP servers are assigned to each client? To answer that, we started using roughly 10k RIPE Atlas probes, to send DNS queries to the NTP Pool DNS servers, and analysed how many unique IP addresses (which are the NTP servers themselves) were returned.

Sep 14, 2019 · The NTP Pool Project is a large virtual farm of servers that offers NTP service for anyone. The project consists of a DNS system that balances the load of millions of queries of time synchronization for devices all across the world (tablets, smartphones, computers, routers...).

How do I use pool.ntp.org? If you just want to synchronise your computer's clock to the network, the configuration file (for the ntpd program from the ntp.org distribution, on any supported operating system - Linux, *BSD, Windows and even some more exotic systems) is really simple:

NTP Pool Charts Helm charts to install a test or development deployment of the NTP Pool system. A number of charts we use to operate the system might be useful in other contexts as well.
