unable to access web GUI and SSH is also broken

[packetsaylut]

The web sessions just hang and time out. Here's a print of the ssh attempt:


mypc:~$ ssh -l root 192.168.1.1
kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Connection closed by 192.168.1.1 port 22

I haven't logged in in a couple of months so I'm not sure if I performed an update on my last login or this just spontaneously happened.

I still have access to the console if anyone would like to walk me through troubleshooting the root cause and hopefully fixing it.

Logging in as root. Not what I'd advise but you know what you're doing.
If you can get to the console, there option 3 is to reset the root password. It might be the easiest thing to do for now to at least be able to ssh in and troubleshoot.

Thanks cookie.

I think this is related to openssl/certificates I can login via console just fine but am unable to SSH (error in earlier post) and the web console does not load. A directly connected keyboard/monitor or use of the serial is my only option.

I'm not much of a *nix sysadmin so am not sure how to troubleshoot it. Generating a new self-signed certificate might be helpful but I'm not having much luck figuring it out.

Ah, I see. It seems you setup ssh keys in the past. Now for some reason I guess you are attempting to log in with them.
You could inititate a verbose output to see if it gives an indication:
mypc:~$ ssh -vvvv -l root 192.168.1.1

Self certs are not going to help here as you can't login to opn, unless I misread that.
