Remote debugging - how to create a port proxy?

Question

I'm trying to access remote debugging port running on box A (Debian) from box B (Windows). On box A I'm running Chrome with --remote-debugging-port=9222 flag and I can see that it works correctly (I can access localhost:9222 from another browser on A). Also, I'm sure that boxes A and B are connected because I can access :80 (apache) running on box A from box B just fine. Thing I need to do now is to allow box B access :9222 on box A. I've done research on port forwarding and iptables rules but I failed to make it work.

EDIT

Machine B is Windows so I'm not sure how to use ssh there, I found an app for port-forwarding that seems to work fine. It gives me an error though: "received a connection but can't connect to host-B:9222". So it looks like 9222 is not open for outside connections. Output from netstat on A gives me:

root@template:/home/developer# netstat -nap | grep 9222
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9222      0.0.0.0:*    LISTEN      24300/user

I found my answer here. Everything comes down to this:

• open Chrome in one console: google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
• and set up a proxy in another one: ssh -L 0.0.0.0:9223:localhost:9222 localhost -N
• now you should be able to access remote debugging from another machine via http://192.168.1.123:9223/
