Description

In a multiwan setup, when selecting only one listening interface (eg. LAN), NTPd does not select external peers as they are stuck init INIT, it does not seem to be a general connection issue:

[2.3.4-RELEASE]/root: ntpdate -q ptbtime1.ptb.de
server 192.53.103.108, stratum 1, offset 0.006594, delay 0.05330

 news01.nierle.c .INIT.          16 u    -   64    0    0.000    0.000   0.000

Note, presstore is an internal server.

When stetting ntpd to listen on multiple interfaces, external peers are selected again:

Can you re-test this on a current release or development snapshot? Preferably a 2.5.0 snapshot.

no such issue on 2.4.5 and 2.5.0.a.20200409.0657
seems to be fixed in ntpd upstream

I've got this exact issue on 20.02-p1.
NTP is stuck in INIT if one or more interfaces are selected, in a dual wan environment.
Unselecting all interfaces and saving instantly restores NTP service.
This was working fine on 2.4.5-p1 prior to upgrading.
