Unable to ssh connect to remote server with Visual Studio Code

I need to connect to a remote (linux) server using ssh from my Mac, and everything works if I just connect from my terminal. And just a few days ago, it also worked well on VSCode. Now, when trying to connect to host it's no longer working.

Here is part of the error I get:
