We have a private network to all our routers, in which we run a internal NTP server from the office which the NTP server has public internet access to get the updated time and then the routers will hit our internal NTP server to grab the latest time,  this makes it a bit more secure then having each router open to the internet

Hi all,

I'm playing with mikrotiks for VPNs, and one of the "features" is that the RB750's we have don't hold time when they reboot. I'm planning to build them with NTP access (so if they can get internet then they can get time), but I'm also tempted to generate certs backdated to 1970 instead.

Is anyone else doing this? How do you get mikrotiks to validate certs if the clock keeps resetting on power off - is relying on NTP the answer?

Cheers

Sam
