After upgrading some devices to a build based on OpenWRT 19.07, revision r11325-616fff2a94, once the sysupgrade finishes, trying to connect via SSH from the management VPN to devices gives me this error:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
-v output:

Connecting via LAN works.
After a while the problem goes away and I'm able to get in also via the management VPN, but may re-appear intermittently shortly afterwards.
If I reboot the device, I don't see the problem anymore.
I could ignore it but it's a bit worrying, I had not seen this behavior before on previous versions.
Is anybody else experiencing the same issue?
