ntpd.conf - google alternative
ntpd reaches out to www.google.com for time synchronizing
What is a good website I can replace google with? |
|

It's not for time syncronizing exactly. A compliant webserver will send its time in a response to a request using a Date header (per RFC 7231). The time is merely used as a sanity check against the time returned by you configured timeservers which likely have no authenticity. (If they do, you can used 'trusted' instead. See ntpd.conf(5))
You can use any HTTPS server you trust to manage their private webserver keys and server time correctly. |

I suggest going to ntp.org and looking for their server lists and how to use them.
I use {0,1,2}.ca.pool.ntp.org but those are in Canada, you probably want something closer to your location. |
