WW.CX Time Authority · public time service

Greenwich Mean Time,
from WW.CX.

A public IPv4 NTP service from WW.CX, independently monitored from an external network. The clock at right is displayed as UTC / GMT+00:00 and is anchored to the latest external WW.CX NTP observation whenever that observation is fresh.

Public endpoints

Use WW.CX as a time source.

For important systems, use several independent time sources rather than depending on any single public server. NTS adds cryptographic authentication to supported clients; the service has completed an authenticated Internet-side acceptance test while independent external monitoring continues recurring standard-NTP observations.

The WW.CX public time service is presently disciplined by a nearby ISNIC GNSS-backed Stratum-1 reference; the externally observed served stratum is shown live. The canonical name is ntp.ww.cx. time.ww.cx is an alternate public name for the same service.

Configuration examples

Point a client at WW.CX.

Windows · quick query

Check the server without changing the system configuration:

w32tm /stripchart /computer:ntp.ww.cx /samples:5 /dataonly

chrony · standard NTP

Add WW.CX as one source among several:

server ntp.ww.cx iburst

chrony · NTS

Use the authenticated NTS endpoint:

server ntp.ww.cx iburst nts

Alternate hostname

Standard NTP is also published at:

time.ww.cx
How the clock is produced

Observed, not self-certified.

The WW.CX public time service answers NTP requests. A separate external monitor periodically queries the public endpoint. The webpage uses the observer’s measured clock offset to estimate current WW.CX time, then advances it locally with a monotonic browser timer between refreshes.

Precision note: this web clock is for convenient human display. Browser rendering, HTTP latency and observer age mean it is not a laboratory reference. Software that needs synchronized time should use NTP or NTS directly.

WW.CX Time is a best-effort public Internet time service. It is not a legal-metrology, navigation, medical, emergency, industrial-safety or other life-safety reference. Critical systems should use multiple independent sources and appropriate local holdover and monitoring.
