Raspberry Pi Slow SSH Fix

Feb 20, 2017

If you SSH into your Raspberry Pi and have noticed a lag when typing characters into the terminal. Then the following fix may get rid of the lag (it worked for me!).

Log into your Raspberry Pi and type:

$ sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

At the bottom of the config file add:

UseDns no

Save the file, then restart sshd:

$ service ssh restart

Or better, reboot your Raspberry Pi:

$ sudo reboot

SSH’ing into your Raspberry Pi should no longer be slow after these steps. 🤞

Fin.
