Greetings,
The ntp project specifically requests that vendors (or open source projects) NOT use the pool.ntp.org as a shipped or default configuration in their product or project (due to a mis-behaving home router many, many years ago). Please see [[ https://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.htm | NPT Pool for Vendors ]]l for more discussion.
The solution is to apply for a vendor pool (so something like vyos.pool.ntp.org). It's still free, it just allows them to mute a run-away product, if necessary.
It's not hard to do, and I'd volunteer to do it the application for the project, but we would need an e-mail, project owner, etc. for the application.
Let me know if I can help.
