      The problem is solved

      Good to know it worked. I hope we can get this options to be default on the next antiX release.

      connmann is given the data it needs it will set time correctly.

      On antiX full, ntp package is present. This program creates a service (ntp) that is in charge of syncing the clock through the internet from time to time. If not active, you can activate it and this will make it connection manager agnostic. No need for another extra tool (connman) to do it when this is set up. As most users use antiX full, then having both ntp and connman competing to sync the time is unnecessary.

      If on antiX base, the user can configure it as you advised in another thread (I will probably be adding it to the wiki soon) if they use connman. But if they use ceni, then the connman configuration is useless. Still, I don’t think it is desirable to have it set up by default, as it raises privacy concerns to users “Is antiX phoning home? Am I being spied on?”, which is the least desirable idea for users who already have doubts on the distro because of its ideals. No need to feed the flames of the uncultured.

      I never understood DNS configurations, so I cannot recommend anything there.
