SSH tunnel from Windows

My SSH tunnel from Windows is not working. To connect I have now tried MobaXterm, Anaconda, and Windows Power Shell. I tried the following things:

  1. Without the script on MobaXterm: ssh -f -D localhost:54321 smomw247@nesh-fe.rz.uni-kiel.de sleep 15 ...some waiting ... back to prompt ... chrome-browser --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:54321" no matter whether using "chromium" oder "chrome" --> "command not found"

  2. With the script for Windows on MobaXterm (Git bash is installed)

./run_chromium_through_ssh_tunnel_WINDOWS.sh smomw247@nesh-fe.rz.uni-kiel.de http://127.0.0.1:8889/?token=29ed9b500bfb49264316558faa963416586781409b70ce92

Note: I had to set the variable 'browser' manually in this script as MobaXterm adds '/drives' in front of all paths.

A chrome window is opening but with the message "Die Website ist nicht erreichbar 127.0.0.1 hat die Verbindung abgelehnt."

And in der MobaXterm prompt I get:

[5384:8604:0626/191730.302:ERROR:cache_util_win.cc(21)] Unable to move the cache: Zugriff verweigert (0x5) [5384:8604:0626/191730.303:ERROR:cache_util.cc(139)] Unable to move cache folder C:\Users\areintges\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ShaderCache\GPUCache to C:\Users\areintges\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ShaderCache\old_GPUCache_000 [5384:8604:0626/191730.303:ERROR:disk_cache.cc(184)] Unable to create cache [5384:8604:0626/191730.303:ERROR:shader_disk_cache.cc(606)] Shader Cache Creation failed: -2 Wird in einer aktuellen Browsersitzung ge▒ffnet.

  1. Without script in Anaconda ssh -f -D localhost:54321 smomw247@nesh-fe.rz.uni-kiel.de sleep 15 I enter my password, then the session hangs.

  2. With the script for Windows on Anaconda and Windows Power Shell: bash run_chromium_through_ssh_tunnel_WINDOWS.sh smomw247@nesh-fe.rz.uni-kiel.de http://127.0.0.1:8889/?token=29ed9b500bfb49264316558faa963416586781409b70ce92 I get this:

Can anybody help? My approach no. 2 seemed most promising to me.
