Just downloaded Amnezia VPN from the amnezia.org and tried to authenticate via key pair. As a result I'm getting the following error:

I could authenticate using the same credentials by using WSL, the difference is that ssh command requests private key password and amnezia vpn does not.

Amnezia can't connect not with private key neither with public. But all ssh-clients and tool succesfully authenticated. Fix problem pls. Password auth is not good.

Private keys encrypted with password is not supported.
If you are experiencing problems with authentication via keys try to convert your keys into PEM format using ssh-keygen utility.
ssh-keygen -p -P "" -N "" -m pem -f path_you_private_key
Do backup of your private key or convert a copy - ssh-keygen will replace file.

Please provide more information about your private key - what is key format you using? I need to know just header of your key - like "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----". Don't send whole key.

yeah. my mistake was i not add header to input field. with header all works fine

Issue fixed since 1.5.3
