Time mismatch issue during daylight saving transition in Iran affecting reality protocol verification in NekoBox
Hello NekoBox Team,
I am facing an issue with your application related to device time synchronization. In Iran, the government did not observe the daylight saving time transition this spring, resulting in the time being stuck in 'winter mode'. This has caused some Android devices to have incorrect times when set to automatic mode, forcing users to update their device time manually.
This has subsequently impacted the reality protocol verification feature within the NekoBox app, which appears to fail under these conditions.
I have found a potential workaround using the Sing-Box Core's NTP support. I created a custom JSON client configuration that when applied to Sing-Box Core, effectively resolves the time discrepancy issue. However, when applying the same configuration to NekoBox, it fails to work.
Here is the configuration:
{
"dns": {
"rules": [],
"servers": [
{
"address": "https://8.8.8.8/dns-query",
"address_resolver": "dns-local",
"detour": "direct",
"strategy": "",
"tag": "dns-remote"
},
{
"address": "underlying://0.0.0.0",
"address_resolver": "dns-local",
"detour": "direct",
"strategy": "",
"tag": "dns-direct"
},
{
"address": "underlying://0.0.0.0",
"detour": "direct",
"tag": "dns-local"
}
]
},
"ntp": {
"enabled": true,
"server": "time.apple.com",
"server_port": 123,
"detour": "direct"
},
"inbounds": [
{
"domain_strategy": "",
"listen": "127.0.0.1",
"listen_port": 7890,
"sniff": true,
"sniff_override_destination": false,
"tag": "mixed-in",
"type": "mixed"
}
],
"log": {
"level": "info"
},
"outbounds": [
{
"domain_strategy": "",
"flow": "",
"server": "185.139.7.249",
"server_port": 443,
"tag": "proxy",
"tls": {
"enabled": true,
"reality": {

},
{

},
{
"tag": "block",
"type": "block"
},
{
"tag": "dns-out",
"type": "dns"
}
],
"route": {
"final": "proxy",
"rules": [
{
"outbound": "dns-out",
"protocol": "dns"
}
]
}
}
It seems that NekoBox doesn't process or handle the configuration in the same way as Sing-Box Core.
I would appreciate your assistance in addressing this issue, as it's impacting the usability of your application in environments where time synchronization is manually managed. If the application could support an NTP-based solution similar to Sing-Box Core, that would be ideal.
Thank you for your time and looking forward to your response.
Please note that I've omitted my proxy configuration details from the logs for security reasons. Be assured that my configuration works perfectly when the automatic time setting is enabled. Therefore, the configuration is fine.
