Your are using Tor for DNS queries, that is the actual DNS server is
8.8.8.8.  Tor mode is used if you are running the Tor client or the Tor
browser.  Put no-use-tor into dirmngr.conf and to get DNS debug messages
add "debug dns".

(Yes, I known, GnUPG has two many debug stuff i18n).

Any proxy, Tor software running.  You may try "disable-ipv6" or
"disable-ipv4" in your dirmngr.conf.

FWIW, "gpgconf --show-versions" gives information on the used libraries,
CPU, etc.


Shalom-Salam,
