Topic: dropbear slow ssh connection

The content of this topic has been archived on 12 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,

I am using Barrier Breaker 14.07 and dropbear version 2014.63. SSH connection to or from my dropbear router is taking around 7-8 seconds. I have read disabling reverse DNS lookup on dropbear can help, but how do I check if it is enabled or not? And how to disable it.

EDIT: I believe reverse DNS lookup is already disabled, because it is commented out in options.h...any other suggestions?

Thanks

upgrade ssh client on your machine.  OpenSSH_7.5p1 being the latest.

The discussion might have continued from here.
