I have 2 VPS in DigitalOcean. I was able to SSH into them with password before today. But now, when I try to SSH with my machine which is Kali Linux, after type the password, I get this response:

packet_write_wait: Connection to X.X.X.X port 22: Broken pipe

I tried to add SSH key of my machine (I am not sure did it right) but no success. I know the problem is in Kali because I can SSH into with my other machine which is Windows.

What can be the problem?

linux ssh kali-linux

share

  I'm having the same problem when trying to push code to Gitlab over SSH. It only started happening a couple of days ago. I fixed it by using Git over HTTPS, but I don't know what the cause of the problem is. Hopefully, someone will be able to figure it out. For the record, I'm using Manjaro Linux with all the latest updates installed. – Cromulent Sep 6 '18 at 13:30

  I suspected from some configuration or environment variables on my machine after checking ssh logs. The connection is actually opening but closed immediately after. So I thought give it a change to connect using something differentthan regular terminal. I tried yakuake but no succes. Then I tried Putty and that worked. However I have still no idea of the main cause of the problem – Eren Koçak Sep 7 '18 at 20:26

I had the exact same problem in Kali and Parrot distros and have been looking for a solution for quit some time.

I was able to fix it by adding this to my ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config file:

IPQoS reliability

I hope this helps for you also...
