Description

This is my setup:

machine A (w/ X server, chisel client) --> machine B (X11Forwarding Yes)

On A, I ran chisel.exe client --keepalive 19s http://machineB 0.0.0.0:5422:0.0.0.0:22, then ssh -Y -p 5422 machineA, export DISPLAY=:0, export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1. When I ran any gui app, I got the error message like the server IP could not be found.
Is there anyway to fix it?
Thanks.

Research direction

The report only provides a Windows chisel client command and an SSH/X11 setup, with no repository file or test named. Start by reproducing the machine A-to-B topology and checking tunnel and SSH X11-forwarding behavior; done means determining whether GUI forwarding works through chisel or documenting the limitation.
