Slow SSH Authentication

I tried to replicate my Debian servers setting on it:

/etc/ssh/ssh_config

    SendEnv LANG LC_*
    HashKnownHosts yes
    GSSAPIAuthentication yes

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
UsePAM yes
X11Forwarding yes
PrintMotd no

And nope, same delay

I basically did a copy/paste of this settings and nope: Problem with ssh server on rocky 8.5

I did shut the VM down to make there is no network conflict even so I mentioned I don’t believe this is a network issue and as expected, same thing.
