There is a problem with 'OpenSSH' client not connecting while 'Putty' client does work given the same network settings. This was my finding almost 3 years ago.
Given that another client does work - there is something OpenSSH Client can do to resolve the issue. Ubuntu distributes OpenSSH client in it's core distribution. As such this is a valid issue with Ubuntu and should remain open until one of the following conditions are met: 1) The issue is fixed in OpenSSH client and connection succeeds as it does in Putty and Ubuntu releases a package that resolves it. 2) The OpenSSH package inserts a sane timeout on 'expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY' and issue's an error to the user instead of hanging for a connection, leaving a poor user experience. Inform the user that the software is not adequate in its ability tolerate uncertain MTU settings, and suggest a more robust client such as Putty. 3) Ubuntu removes OpenSSH client from its core distribution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254085 Title: ssh fails to connect to VPN host - hangs at 'expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1254085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
