I setup a manual proxy for SOCKS host on my browser to forward from an SSH tunnel I have to a remote server. For some reason the traffic is not forwarding?

My terminal shows the SSH connection is open, but the traffic is not forwarding to manual proxy SOCKS host on Mozilla firefox correctly. The same configuration works on my Windows Laptop, but this configuration is using a MAC w/ Parallels and a windows installation.

Hi,

what's missing is the proxy ip. because you have ticked the manual box and you must complete this field

Thank's
