Question
Slow SSH on Home Network
- Posted February 24, 2014
I’m having issues connecting to my droplet via SSH using my home network.
I’m using OSX and the terminal to connect to the server. Often hangs - or when does connect it’s extremely slow.
However if I connect using my phone and an ssh client over 4G I get good speeds.
I read this could be a dns issue so I updated my dns to google - but still the same connection issues. Anyone got any ideas?

Found out this was a router issue. Replaced the router last night and works perfectly. <br> <br>
You can debug the SSH connections with your ‘ssh’ client with these 3 debug modes: <br>a. ‘ssh -v user@IP’ - Returns debugging at ‘debug1’ level <br>b. ‘ssh -vv user@IP’ - Returns debugging at ‘debug2’ level <br>c. ‘ssh -vvv user@IP’ - Returns debugging at ‘debug3’ level <br> <br>Try each debuging mode one at a time. You’ll see which step in the SSH connection takes time or fail.
I am having the same exact issue.
Both. I often cannot even connect because it times out.
Is the connection handshake slow or is it the connection once completed that is slow?
