ssh on a vm - Address family not supported by protocol family

Question

I'm trying to SSH into a Debian Buster Virtualbox host on my macOS laptop (Mojave), but keep getting the error Address family not supported by protocol family. Not sure how this could be an IPv6 issue since I've disabled IPv6 in the /etc/hosts of the vm and my laptop.

Here's the /etc/hosts of my laptop:

127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

Here's the /etc/hosts of the vm:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       debian

Here's the /etc/ssh/sshd_config of the vm:

Port 22
AddressFamily any
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
UsePAM yes
X11Forwarding yes
PrintMotd yes
TCPKeepAlive yes
UseDNS no
AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

Here's my local vm's iptables config:

-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT

My username is the same on my laptop as on the vm. I got the IP address based on arp -a output. Here's the command I'm running and the output I get.

└─[$] <> ssh 224.0.0.251
ssh: connect to host 224.0.0.251 port 22: Address family not supported by protocol family
