Local SSH incredibly slow when internet enabled (Vagrant / Laravel Homestead)

2
votes

I've installed and setup Laravel Homestead using Vagrant and Virtualbox successfully on my Mac. However, it takes around 20 seconds to ssh in (using vagrant ssh and ssh [email protected]...) and even longer to issue commands (30s - 1m!)

The peculiar problem is that as soon as I disable my Mac's internet connection, the SSH becomes lightening quick and I can login and issue commands in milliseconds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

This sounds like VirtualBox issue rather Vagran's fault. NAT network (port forwarding in Vagrant) in VirtualBox can cause lots of weird issues. I suggest you to:

  1. Try update VirtualBox to latest version to see if this helped

  2. If problem remains, configure Vagrant to user private_network and ssh via machine's IP and not the localhost (port forwarding).
