X11 server

[deeppurple114]

Hi, I know this subject may probably talked here a lot but sadly I still not figure it. I used to work with SecureCRT on Windows 11 and connected to my VDI session (Linux Machine), I enable x11 forwarding to open X apps like virt-manager or xclock. (to enable X server on Windows I use X410 app), it's actually was very easy and worked like magic. Now I moved to MacBook M1 Pro with Ventura OS and installed SecureCRT. as I understand MacOS should to support X11 via XQuartz app. I installed it and actually able to work it once but not any more. my main issue is understand what my localhost (x11) server ip to config on SecureCRT. (I remember on windows it's was - 127.0.0.1:10.0 or something similar). if I opening XQuartz and configure xclock inside it and open MacOS terminal xclock it's working.

can someone please suggest me how to continue from here?

Not sure exactly, but I am using XQuartz and my display is just ":0"

$ echo $DISPLAY
:0

and my "self address" is 127.0.0.1

This was on my Mac itself. If you want to connect, I believe you need to ssh, you may ssh to yourself and stay in the same window with "ssh 127.0.0.1". To ssh to a remote machine you need to "ssh -e Cmdfile" where the Cmdfile would contain the command, something like "ssh -q -Y <ipaddr> -e none". You find man pages for xterm and ssh.
