10 ssh tells you straight forward what the issue is: Within the key exchange
11 at the begin of the communication there was no way to establish a
12 connection between the server and the client, probably because the client
13 has a more secure setup than the server. This happens mostly due to old ssh
14 versions serverside.

16 You can find solutions pretty fast by just searching for "Their offer: <key
17 exchange offers>", e.g. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/340844/
18 how-to-enable-diffie-hellman-group1-sha1-key-exchange-on-debian-8-0
19
20 (Please enable legacy and possible less secure key exchange formats and
21 ciphers only per server and not globally - and if possible upgrade the SSH
22 server version.)

25 That is indeed perfectly fine; you might want to hide the IP address in the
26 future aswell ;-)
