That's interesting, and I completely agree. However, my comment was about whether the default OpenBSD install sends any data to any private US companies. NTP queries are a form of data :).
Also, if it ever became profitable for some reason to give incorrect NTP results, then I doubt Google et al would continue to do so.
- owenmarshall 6y agoOpenBSD doesn’t send NTP queries to those sources - with the exception of Cloudflare’s NTP pool. It uses TLS timestamps to constrain the possible time values. This prevents spoofed NTP packets from changing the time. https://man.openbsd.org/ntpd.conf.5 https://man.openbsd.org/ntpd.conf.5 https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/etc/ntpd.conf https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/etc/ntpd.conf
