To the main point, I have very very very secure server which has influxdb installed and working , it is installed on Red Hat version

I want to be able to do the following:

Is there a way to be able to establish a connectivity from my Local PC to the influxDB ?

Hi there!

Yes, if you have SSH access, you can tunnel your way in.

The following should work, but if not; let me know.

ssh -N -L 9999:127.0.0.1:9999 secureboxip

Then browse to http://127.0.0.1:9999

in my Work PC, it gives me the follow " Unable to negotiate with [ip
address] port 22: no matching key exchange method found. their offer:
diffle-hellman-group1-shal "

in my Local Pc to my VM channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection
refused

Sounds to me like you have an outdated version of either the SSH client or
server (or possibly even both) here.

what should i do ?

Update both the server’s SSH daemon, and the work and local PCs’ (it sounds
like these are two different machines?) SSH clients to current versions and try
again.

Hi and thanks for the reply

let me reprhase it in a better way

I am using my Desktop PC windows ( My own laptop) and i am trying to make a remote access to my Ubunte Server ( VM which is hosts in my laptop) VM ip address is 10.10.10.100

My desktop pc ssh version is OpenSSH_7.4p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2j 26 Sep 2016
OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3, OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017

and from My Work desktop which is OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5
and Secure Server which is redhat is OpenSSH_7.4p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips

Do i need to upgrade any of those?

Kindly, help

From that information, it sounds as though the problem is the configuration
(not the version) of SSH between the client and the server.

The error message “no matching key exchange method found. their offer: diffle-
hellman-group1-sha1” makes me think the server has been configured with a
highly-specific key exchange method, so you need to ensure that your client
will offer that method too.

Try following the guidance at ssh - How to enable diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange on Debian 8.0? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
(note - do not do what the person asking the question has tried, because this
explains how to configure the server for this method, whereas the first answer
provided explains how to change it on the client which is what you want).

Regards,

Antony.
