Title: [HELP] Weird SSH Issue: Server Freezing on Login - Can Someone Shine a Light?

"Hey guys, hoping someone can help me out here. I've got a VPS running Ubuntu and I've been noticing that my SSH sessions are freezing on login almost every time. Specifically, I'm connecting using a specific key pair, and it just hangs on 'debug1: Authenticating to...' - no errors or anything, just a blank screen."

"Dude, this sounds frustrating! Have you checked the server logs to see if there are any error messages popping up when you try to login? I'd also try disabling any plugins or scripts before login to see if they're causing the issue."

"Hey OP, I've had similar issues in the past and found that it's usually due to SSH keys not being generated correctly or some config issue. Can you try generating a new SSH key pair and see if that resolves the issue? Also, what's your server setup like - are you running any resource-intensive processes?"

"Dude, I had a similar issue with my AWS setup a month ago. Turns out it was due to the SSH client not liking the default cipher. Try checking your client settings and see if you can switch to a more secure cipher, might just resolve the issue."

"Dude, have you checked your server's logs? I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a permission problem with my SSH keys. Make sure your keys are properly configured and not causing any conflicts"

"Hey guys, I had a similar issue a while back and it turned out to be a permissions problem with my SSH keys. I think you should try checking the permissions on both your private and public keys to make sure they're set correctly. Also, double-check your server logs for any relevant error messages."
