[Solved] ssh connection fails: no matching host key type found

Post by pythonic »

Just heads up: recent versions of OpenSSH (e.g. on Ubuntu 22.04) decline to connect to a Gargoyle router with an error message like:

Code: Select all

no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa
These OpenSSH versions have dropped default connection support for RSA based host keys so you need to use solutions like these, except use "dsa-rsa" instead of "dsa-dss".
