Cannot connect

[brolly759]

I keep getting "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" when trying to connect to the device. I get verification the tunnel has been created but I cannot seem to login. Here is the code on the node I want to connect too:

`var tunnel = require('reverse-tunnel-ssh');

// This is a very handy way to test your next webhook !

// Please set up your /etc/hosts or change the hostname befor
// running the example.

var config = {
host: 'xx.xx.xx.x',
username: 'root',
password: 'some_pass',
dstHost: '0.0.0.0', // bind to all interfaces (see hint in the readme)
dstPort: 1987,
//srcHost: '127.0.0.1', // default
//srcPort: dstPort // default is the same as dstPort
}

tunnel(config, function(error, clientConnection) {
console.log(clientConnection._forwarding);
});

require('http').createServer(function(res, res){
res.end('SSH-TUNNEL: Gate to heaven !');
}).listen(config.dstPort);

console.log('Tunnel created: http://'+config.host+':'+config.dstPort);`

If I type this directly in the terminal I can successfully connect and do a reverse SSH:
ssh -f -N -T -R22222:localhost:22 xx.xxx.xx.x

I tried 1987 and 22222 port and nothing mattered with this library code, I couldn't connect.

anything?

i found it not work too.
but you can use the ssh2 package directly:

var Client = require('ssh2').Client;
	const Socket = require('net').Socket;
	var conn = new Client();
	var remotePort = 8081;
	var remoteIP = 'xxxx';
	var remoteUser = 'ec2-user';
	conn
		.on('error', function(e) {
			console.log('ssh reverse forward error', e);
		})
		.on('ready', function() {
			console.log('Client :: ready');
			conn.forwardIn('127.0.0.1', remotePort, function(err) {
				if (err) {
					// errors.push(err);
					throw err;
				}
				console.log('Listening for connections on server on port remotePort!');
			});
		})
		.on('tcp connection', function(info, accept, reject) {
			console.log('TCP :: INCOMING CONNECTION:');
			console.dir(info);

			var srcSocket = new Socket();

			srcSocket.connect(remotePort, 'localhost', function() {
				var remote = accept();
				console.log('accept remote connection');
				srcSocket.pipe(remote).pipe(srcSocket);
			});
		})
		.connect({
			host: remoteIP,
			port: 22,
			username: remoteUser,
			privateKey: fs.readFileSync('./sh-key'),
		});
