Have you tried prepending the port with colon? Like ":6222"?
It has fixed the "Error message: Success" for me, but I am now stuck at "Connecting to ..." and the client freezes.

I think I've found a solution:
If you hover over the SSH port field, it will show you extra info on port format e. g. ":port" or "server:port".
Since Remmina will create a SSH by default leading to localhost you have to set the target NX server to "localhost".

Basically apply same logic as if you were to create the tunnel by hand in a terminal.

I have tested this by connecting to VNC server through SSH.

Hi, for those just like me who didn't notice the : character the explanation above means you'll have to fill in :port instead of just the port.

I was about to write it's not working but it's actually is with :port notation.
