2 different VM. I tried with different ports and same issue.

Here is sshd_config

AllowAgentForwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
GatewayPorts yes

[ayalu]

OK here is the answer :
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41451/how-can-i-set-up-a-remote-port-forward-on-port-80-to-my-localhost-with-the-help

Only root can foward privileged ports.

Thank you for you support and great product !!
