Connection closed by remote host

Help

Hey, my pi-holes web interface is reachable, but over SSH I can no longer connect.

I get Connection closed by 192.168.0.10

Rebooting the pi through the web interface didn't help...

any tips?

I don't know really.
Hook up an hdmi cable and double check to see if ssh is enabled.
Or vnc??

there is nothing pi-hole does in terms of SSH this can happen for a number of reasons the easiest being a locked down ssh interface. your best bet is if it is a rPi use an HDMI as mentioned above

Check /var/log/auth.log and see if there are any entries and explanations as to why the connection was closed. Could be a number of things, but mostly not Pi-hole related.

And check sudo iptables -L to see if there's a rule that may have snuck in somewhere.
