Login SSH by Bitvise Tunnelier and got the error:

The SSH session has terminated with error. Reason: Error class: LocalSshDisconn, code: KeyExchangeFailed, message: FlowSshTransport: no mutually supported key exchange algorithm. Local list: diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1. Remote list: Curve25519,Curve25519@libssh,ECDH/nistp256,ECDH/nistp384,ECDH/nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256.

You must change key exchange:
change key exchange

Tick almost required algorithms saw in error message :

Curve25519,Curve25519@libssh,ECDH/nistp256,ECDH/nistp384,ECDH/nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256

change key exchange algorithms

Click OK. Done, now we can login SSH successfully.

Putty 0.63
