I faced the same issue. After three days, I realized that in my case, the problem was the /etc/ssh/sshrc file. This file executes on SSH login, and Amnezia misinterprets its output. Renaming or removing sshrc solved the issue for me.

For anyone else having this problem, if your debian has some sort of thing like a logo that shows up when you log in (debian's startup app) it will make the app think that you're doing something else

Or, in case of Hetzner, you need to change the default root password first.

I needed to switch back to bash as the default shell on my server (was using fish)

@MaxaiZer See https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1201 for an explanation on why it only works with bash

I had this problem because my bash print warning message bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

AmneziaVPN check if output of server_is_busy.sh is null

So try run bash check_server_is_busy.sh (url) and check output

If there are some wargnins - fix that
