Thanks!

This advice has shown me how to connect directly to an old OpenSSH server again
(not Dropbear), instead of via intermediate hops on intermediate servers :)

However after reading [1] I decided a safer kex is diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
(group14 instead of group1).

Mentioning this in case it's also an option for old Dropbear/OpenWRT users.
