Question
Server does not support diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 for keyexchange
I have created an Ubuntu droplet (via Laravel Forge if that matters) and am trying to remote connect to MySql using Navicat. I have installes by SSH key and am able to connect via SSH. I am also able to log into MySql on the server once I am logged in.
However when I try to remote-connect to MySql using SSH tunnel, the response I get from Navicat is
80070007: SSH Tunnel: Server does not support diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 for
keyexchange
Is there anything I am missing?

Ok, here is the solution:
- Enable the correct Kex:
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
append with these lines to ensure correct digest:
KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group1-sha1,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
Ciphers 3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,aes128-cbc,aes128-ctr,aes256-ctr
Regenerate all keys:
ssh-keygen -A
and then restart ssh service:
sudo service ssh restart
After these steps you would need to update your local known_hosts file, as the SSH key has changed. Say, your Digital Ocean droplet IP is 255.255.222.211.
Locate it in ~.ssh/known_hosts and remove the line that begins with this 255.255.222.111.
In a new shell window test you can connect to your instance!
Next time you log in you will be asked to add the host to known hosts again.
