# OpenNTPD with OpenSSL support

OpenNTPD daemon with OpenSSL implementation & flexible configurability

See also [my blog post on fjordtek.com](https://fjordtek.com/categories/news/2020/openntpd-now-with-openssl-support/).

## Added features

- Implemented OpenSSL support. Either LibreSSL or OpenSSL can be used.

- Many previously hardcoded values are now configurable via conf file.

- Implement UDP & TCP port selection for multiple options.

- Implement custom user agent string support for constraints.

- Improved log entries interpretation.

- Updated manual.
