Hello,

I am not sure to understand.
The previous conclusion was that the firewall did not let me go through.
Now, I have:

It does not looks like that the connection with the time server is established.
However, it says:
NTP synchronized: yes

On the other side, the machine is 10 s beyond http://www.worldtimeserver.com/

To see what chronyd is doing, run "chronyc -n sources" as the root
user. Don't rely on what netstat is telling you.

Here's what I see:

[root@prophead ~]# chronyc -n sources
210 Number of sources = 4
MS Name/IP address         Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample
===============================================================================
^* 132.163.4.101 1 10 377 316 +5458us[+5379us] +/- 32ms ^- 104.41.150.68 2 10 357 806 -8917us[-8979us] +/- 91ms ^+ 192.155.90.13 2 10 377 912 -12ms[ -12ms] +/- 67ms ^- 198.211.106.151 2 9 377 486 -12ms[ -12ms] +/- 81ms

From the chrony docs, the first two columns ("M" and "S") mean:

'M'
     This indicates the mode of the source.  '^' means a server, '='
     means a peer and '#' indicates a locally connected reference clock.

'S'
     This column indicates the state of the sources.  '*' indicates the
     source to which 'chronyd' is currently synchronised.  '+' indicates
     acceptable sources which are combined with the selected source.
     '-' indicates acceptable sources which are excluded by the
     combining algorithm.  '?' indicates sources to which connectivity
     has been lost or whose packets don't pass all tests.  'x' indicates
     a clock which 'chronyd' thinks is is a falseticker (i.e.  its time
     is inconsistent with a majority of other sources).  '~' indicates a
     source whose time appears to have too much variability.  The '?'
     condition is also shown at start-up, until at least 3 samples have
     been gathered from it.


In my case, they're all servers ("M" all show "^") and I'm currently sync'd to 132.163.4.101 (the "*" under "S"). The second and fourth
servers listed are "acceptable sources" but excluded based on the
combining algorithms. The third item is acceptable on its own.

Another useful version is "chronyc activity":

[root@prophead ~]# chronyc activity
200 OK
4 sources online
0 sources offline
0 sources doing burst (return to online)
0 sources doing burst (return to offline)
0 sources with unknown address

So I see four sources online and available.

As others have said, if you're in a university setting it is entirely
possible that they want you to use THEIR NTP servers, not ones wild on
the net. They may very well block UDP port 123 on their firewalls so your best bet is to ask the admins which NTP servers are available to
you.

On my corporate firewall, I block NTP for most of my users, but I have
NTP services running on my DNS cache servers. That's what the people
behind my firewall get access to (and what's configured to be returned
on DHCP requests from them).

Here, the results of some commands:

That looks different: here's mine.

[john@HP_Box ~]$ netstat -a | grep ntp

[john@HP_Box ~]$ netstat -a | grep 323

udp6       0      0 localhost:323           [::]:*
plus a few irrelevant responses.

but ...grep 123 shows nothing that looks relevant.

Quoting from the faq:

Perhaps you have a firewall set up in a way that blocks packets on port
323/udp.  You need to amend the firewall configuration in this case.

ntp is UDP port 123 as is shown in your output. By default, netstat
will translate port numbers to services found in your /etc/services
file. If you want to verify it, try "netstat -apn | grep :123" and you
should see something on that port:

[root@prophead ~]# netstat -pna | grep :123
...
udp        0      0 192.168.1.50:58156      104.41.150.68:123
ESTABLISHED 841/chronyd
...

So you can see that chronyd is connected to 104.41.150.68 via UDP port 123.

Thanks Rick.  On my system, ( which does have a working chrony setup)  I
see:
