ssh tunnel ability (sshd_config)

I am trying to configure ESXi's host sshd_config file and added  "GatewayPorts yes" to enable port-forwarding

After that, I restarted ssh and used the auto-backup.sh script to save my changes.

 

My goal ist to access my SSH-VMs via the ESXI Host through SSH, hence

 

ssh -L 9999:MYVMHOSTNAME:22 -N MYESXIHOSTNAME

 

doesn't let me connect to the local 9999 port

 

however this works:

ssh -L 9999:MYESXIHOSTNAME(or localhost):443 -N MYESXIHOSTNAME // ESXI Web-Interface Example

 

Is there anything I miss, such as firewall stuff or even sshd_config changes to make the ESXI Host connect to other hosts at all?

 

Any help is apreciated, thank you.

 

PS.: My ESXI Host and all my VMs in it, are connected to the same "router", hence they are accessible through each hostname or specified ip-address.

(I have a Oracle Linux VM and I can use SSH-Tunneling just fine by connecting from the VM to my ESXI Host via SSH)
