Hello!

I need help with a problem 😔

I have a Debian 12 system with hardening applied, where I had previously installed Bastillion. It was working correctly, but I lost my passwords.

So, I reverted my virtual machine to a previous snapshot (with the hardening already applied but without Bastillion installed) and reinstalled Bastillion.

However, after reinstalling, Bastillion is now running very slowly. Even connecting via SSH takes a long time just to log in, which wasn't the case before.

Has anyone experienced this or knows why this might be happening?

Thank you all 💐

If you pass -vvv when connecting it should shed some light on what bits it's hanging on. You can also set the sshd log verbosity to DEBUG which might give you additional information.

Unrelated: I vote for renaming this project bastillion.

Hello,

Usually a slow performance means that your DNS setup is broken. There is an easy way to check it: instruct The Bastillion (😊) to skip any DNS query:
https://ovh.github.io/the-bastion/administration/configuration/bastion_conf.html?highlight=broken#dnssupportlevel

If this fixes your problem, then you might want to have a look at your /etc/resolv.conf.

About the name, well, this is quite nice indeed, but what about Le Bastillion in this case? ;)

Thank you both very much, the key was changing the "dnsSupportLevel": 2, a "dnsSupportLevel": 0, en nano /etc/bastion/bastion.conf

solved! 🥳
