I keep on getting a error when I connect to a ssh tunnel on putty

39,727

Solution 1

For me the key was that the "Diffie-Hellman group exchange" key exchange algorithm was not implemented on the server (see Connection > SSH > KEX).

Moving this key exchange algorithm to the bottom of the list and making the algorithm "Diffie-Hellman group 14" first solved the problem for me.

Solution 2

I got a similar error on 0.63 ... upgrading to 0.67 made it go away.
