Notebook: Accessing jupyter notebook via ssh tunneling ec2

[emptyr1]

Hi. I have jupyter notebook running on port 8888 on an aws ec2 instance. I have been trying to access jupyter notebook UI from my OSX using Dynamic port forwarding using the -D flag in the ssh command.. The AWS Blog describes this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/DeveloperGuide/emr-ssh-tunnel.html which I have been trying consistently.
I know there is one way of editing the config file and changing the c.NotebookApp.ip='*' which works but that's not what I want. Is there any other setting I need to change to make this work? Has anybody tried this? I've followed the steps in the blog, tried using foxy-proxy in chrome as well as firefox, but no luck :(

I typically set up tunnels with:

ssh -L 9999:127.0.0.1:8888 aws-host

then open 127.0.0.1:9999 on my computer, which is forwarded to 127.0.0.1:8888 on the remote machine. This has worked for me with AWS and other remote services.
