Trying to connect to a Dropbear SSH server may give the "** WARNING: connection is not using a post-quantum key exchange algorithm." warning. This might be a false positive, as this Github issue suggests: https://github.com/jtesta/ssh-audit/issues/375
The culprit is the kexguess2@matt.ucc.asn.au pseudo algorithm.
Just in case you (or my future self) stumble upon this.
