I am having issue with SSH Port Forward in version 2025.2.16.0, when fallback to version 2025.1.41.0, the same config is working without issue.

@k526816 A fix has been made for the dynamic forwarding. It will be available in the next release.
Thanks for the details, they were quite helpful. Although I'm pretty sure the bug is fixed, I was unable to reproduce the same conditions in my lab, so let us know how it turns out for you.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
To better understand the issue you're experiencing could you please share a few more details about your configuration and workflow?
The easiest way to share your session settings is to right-click the entry, select Clipboard, and choose Copy Entry. Please remember to any sensitive information before sharing.
Also, could you let us know which data source you're using?
We’ll be happy to look into this further with the additional details.
Best regards,

Sure, i will try to explain.
Below is the port forwarding config in version 2025.1.41.0 and as you can see in the red box highlighted , there are two listening when the port forwarding is enable

Below is the port forwarding config in version 2025.2.16.0 and as you can see in the red box highlighted , there are only one listening when the port forwarding is enable. The local port forwarding is missing and on top of that the dynamic port forwarding is actually not working as well.

Hi @k526816
For the missing local port forwarding, I have found a possible cause for this bug and a fix has been made that will be available in the next release.
On the other hand, I've been unable to reproduce your problems, so I will need more details to fix the dynamic forwarding. What I understand is that no connection is successful going through the dynamic port forwarding, am I correct? If so, what is connecting to it? (another entry from RDM, an external application?) and what proxy protocol is it setup to use? (SOCKS4, SOCKS4a or SOCKS5?)

Hi,
>> For the missing local port forwarding, I have found a possible cause for this bug and a fix has been made that will be available in the next release.
For the record, the Local Port Forwarding, the is IPv6 that I am dealing with and it seems to not parse the IPv6 correctly.
>> What I understand is that no connection is successful going through the dynamic port forwarding, am I correct?
There are logs indicating connection open and closed but the page is not loading.
The xxx.yyy.local is a masked domain and it will be resolved to ipv6 address.
I have even try to use IP directly instead of hostname, still no luck.

Yes, another entry from RDM (edge browser entry) with --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:50001" settings

SOCKS5 only
Hey @k526816,
In addition to Denis’s questions, could you please confirm whether there are any special characters used in the Host of your Port Forward entry?
Also, if possible, an export of your session (without including your credentials) would be very helpful for further troubleshooting.
Thanks in advance!
