How do I set up tunneling in MobaXterm similar to my current PuTTY setup?

Question

Here's what I do with PuTTY:

PuTTY settings, Connection > SSH > Tunnels:
source = 8000
destination = 0.0.0.0:8000

And then after I ssh into ServerA (a unix jump server in this instance), I use the following command to log into ServerB:

$ ssh serverB -L 8000:0.0.0.0:8000

Then I run the source command for the Django virtual environment, then the following runserver command:

$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

And then I am able to access the website on my local machine via http://127.0.0.1:8000.

How do I set up this kind of thing in MobaXterm? I can't figure it out; its Tunneling options are much more confusing, and everything I try fails to work.

For MobaXterm, open the MobaSSHtunnel and select "Local port forwarding"

Enter the following information:

Forwarded port - the port on your browser that you will use to access the Django site on your local machine (example: 1234 so that you can access the website on localhost:1234)

SSH server - the IP address of your remote server

SSH login - your username on the remote server

SSH port - the port on the SSH server that you use (usually 22).

Remote server - the address of the Django site on the remote server (127.0.0.1 on your case)

Remote port - the port of the Django site on the remote server (8000 on your case)

In this example, I access the Django site on localhost:1234 on my browser:

If you use an SSH key for logging in, you can add a key after you have saved the tunnel.

To add SSH key, press the key on the "Settings":

Afterward, you can open the Django app on your own browser at localhost:1234! :)
