I have previously had some issue with MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keys so I have temporarily set host + to allow all connections open x windows locally (I am aware of the security flaw).
Now when I launch an application on the remote machine it seems to launch successfully without any errors but won't appear on my local machine, when I echo $DISPLAY it isn't set to localhost. Seems incredibly weird, where are my x windows sent to? How do I fix this?
Here is my debug:
$ firefox
debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 3 win 65536 max 16384
debug1: client_request_x11: request from *serverip* 55412
debug1: channel 3: new [x11]
debug1: confirm x11
The server is only available from my bosses IP so I have to proxy through him every time, maybe that's the issue. Do I have any other alternatives.
