kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer. Connection works on other NIC/subnet

I re-installed a VM (CentOS7) and now I get this error. The VM has two adapters that are on different subnets.
Funny enough ssh worked fine on one subnet after fixing the expected MITM warning.

ssh -v shows:

I've tried

  • Rebooting
  • removing the known_hosts file
  • checked /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the client (no deviation from maintainer version)
  • checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server (no deviation from maintainer version)
  • stopping the firewalld
  • checked permissions on .ssh/ and authorized_keys
  • checked blacklist and whitelist (nothing there, only comments) (hosts.deny|hosts.allow)

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but the client is running arch linux

So, again to clarify
The server has two ip addresses 172.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x ssh works for 172.x.x.x but does not for 192.x.x.x

1Does the server have an /etc/hosts.deny file? – user1686 – 2019-07-24T08:33:16.620

Yes, I did (I was still editing my post. You were really quick ;-) – oneindelijk – 2019-07-24T08:36:56.927
