SSH Tunnel very slow

1

I just setup an SSH Tunnel and it is very slow. On the network the ssh server is connected to has a download speed of 25 mbps and an upload speed of 4 mbps. I tested my internet speed and I'm actually getting a little faster than that. The network the computer that I'm using to connect to the ssh server is way faster so speed isn't a problem. When I try to load the site retro.hackaday.com on the network my ssh server is on loads almost instantly but when I connect to the ssh server (even on the same network) it takes several minutes to load. Why is it so slow? I'm using FireFox and the command sudo ssh -D xxx -C -N -P xxx anonymous@xxx.xxx.xxx

Edit:

Ok. So I pinged the ssh server from the local network and I got this.

So what is the ping time? – Ramhound – 2016-09-10T22:26:44.700

I'm using firefox with the command sudo ssh -D xxx -C -N -P xxx anonymous@xxx.xxx.xxx so how do I get ping time? – Greg – 2016-09-10T22:47:28.957

just, open a command prompt or terminal window, and ping the ssh server – Ramhound – 2016-09-10T23:26:33.957

Ok here's what I got. 64 bytes from 192.168.x.xxx: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=29.259 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.x.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=3.220 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.x.xxx: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=64.016 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.x.xxx: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=3.934 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.x.xxx: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=106.849 ms – Greg – 2016-09-11T00:02:07.073

Can you also provide a trace? And a ping the opposite way? – Tim – 2016-09-11T16:36:31.747

1So those ping times are not consistent which indicates a problem. Why did you feel the need to mask a intranet ip address? – Ramhound – 2016-09-11T22:35:14.447

I have the same issue. My connections over dynamic SSH SOCKS5 proxy is always slow!! I dont undertand the reasons. – Denis – 2019-03-29T03:13:08.167
