Cannot connect to HDP sandbox 2.6 with VNC

I followed this tutorial to set desktop for my sandbox https://github.com/hortonworks-gallery/ambari-vnc-service

I run sandbox in VirtualBox from Windows 10.

I forwarded 5901 port in VirtualBox, added it to iptables but VNC client still cannot connect - connection refused. I checked also 5801 and 5901 ports with curl locally on sandbox and I got response but these ports are not available from my Windows machine. Could you help please?

Finally I found the problem: I didn't open 5901 port from sandbox to docker.

Here is tutorial which describes in details how to do it:

Are you using VNC on your office computer ? Usually office computer have VPN network and thus Internet proxy settings. You must change VNC settings to use the same proxy.
