    Synchronizing with an Internet time server over HTTP


    I cannot synchronize the time of my machine because the IT department blocks the related ports (I don't know why). Is there a practical way to synchronize the time over http?

    However there may be 3rd party clock you can download, but if they have blocked the ports im sure they won't let you download somthing

    Have a look on this very same question on StackOverflow:
    Public, reputable sources of time sync via HTTP to use where NTP is blocked? - Super User

    No idea if the answers actually work or if are useful (not tried myself) but at least they'll give you a few more options.

    It appears likely that your company is syncing time to an internal source. In a domain this is very important. If you are having issues with this contact your IT department.
