This is fantastic!
I just need it to have been running for a month (it's only been 10-12 days on my system) to populate the data registers for correct averages/scaling...

if only we had chrony for humans...Great Job. Many thanks.
I have just installed it and there is a minor bug. It is not affecting to its functionality.
It is showing ...“ v3.2.0 - Updated 2020-01-21”
But we are in 2021.

Just tested cloudflare's nts support by uncommenting the config line and here's what I got.
However, searching cloudflare's website, I found out I need to add port 1234(time.cloudflare.com:1234) to use nts support. It worked after I edited the config file.
Code:

Interesting, I didn’t think the chronyd supplied by Entware supports NTS yet. I should be available in the next update from what I have read on GitHub

it might as well not been implemented yet. Here's what the log says when I don't append the port in the comfig's file using cloudflare's server.

Yes, this chrony version does not support NTS yet. How did I know?
I read somewhere about this command "chronyc -n sources" and when executed there is no source ip of cloudflare servers when configured as the lone time server with NTS support to test. My guess is if chronyc does not support encryption it can not get an answer from the server, however, there is no obvious log to show the error.

Question -
is there a way to determine which clients on my network are (or aren't) following this timeserver from within the script?
(maybe a nice tie-in with YazDHCP?)

Command line you can run

Thank you! That does the trick...now I just have to figure out why my desktop machina isn't on the list
I think you have to setup the time/zone in your desktop. So this have to point your router IP, which is now your NTP server

yes, I believed I had done that already, but it seems to want to follow ubuntu's ntp server instead

Trust, but verify.
I'm sure I'll discover the "oops" soon enough, probably as an "oops!" itself. lol

since the 386.1 update, I'm getting all devices on my network (save a stubborn android phone) following ntpMerlin.
for some reason my desktop's IP querying chronyc clients doesn't match the client list in the Merlin GUI...is that dnsmasq? or is it an IPv6 thing?

Following on from a previous post about suspicious offset etc, followed the commands and had these outputs. Only thing I'd changed is modified servers to local ones. Are these outputs legit? Or have I cocked something up?
