SSH exchange identification: Connection closed by remote host [Solved]
If you will face this problem when connecting through ssh:
SSH exchange identification: Connection closed by remote host.
Maybe your server was under a brute force attack.
To solve this problem in an easy way you could install denyhosts.
On Centos server yum install denyhosts.
Edit /etc/hosts.allow and insert the IP that you never want to block.
Edit /etc/denyhosts.conf and check your distribution default conf.
After that, simply start denyhosts
service denyshosts start
Stay tuned.
