PhpStorm not receiving Xdebug from Vagrant machine

Question

I've a Vagrant VM for dev with xdebug installed and I want to connect it to PhpStorm.

In my xdebug.ini I have this:

zend_extension=xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_connect_back = 0
xdebug.idekey = "vagrant"
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_host=192.168.56.1
xdebug.remote_port=9001
xdebug.remote_log=/tmp/xdebug.log

But it doesn't work. I did some debug and I check that in my host machine the 9001 port was open, and it is:

phpstorm  311 jose   41u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b107d1be65      0t0  TCP *:9001 (LISTEN)
phpstorm  311 jose   42u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b1056e5245      0t0  TCP *:10137 (LISTEN)
phpstorm  311 jose  143u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b10ae27e65      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:6942 (LISTEN)
phpstorm  311 jose  168u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b107cd875d      0t0  TCP *:20080 (LISTEN)
phpstorm  311 jose  342u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b110c70245      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:63342 (LISTEN)
JuniperSe 497 jose   10u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b10696675d      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:3333 (LISTEN)
VBoxHeadl 726 jose   24u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b1086e6b3d      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:2222 (LISTEN)
VBoxHeadl 726 jose   25u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b10fe1d435      0t0  TCP *:33060 (LISTEN)
VBoxHeadl 726 jose   26u  IPv4 0x2b62c0b108709435      0t0  TCP *:8088 (LISTEN)

But from Vagrant the 9001 port is not accessible:

nc -z -v -w5 192.168.56.1 9001
nc: connect to 192.168.56.1 port 9001 (tcp) timed out: Operation now in progress

And that's the same for all PhpStorm ports. But I can access 8088 or 33060

nc -z -v -w5 192.168.56.1 8088
Connection to 192.168.56.1 8088 port [tcp/omniorb] succeeded!

I've checked the option to accept external connections in PhpStorm for xdebug. I'm using Mac OS.

Ok, very silly problem. I had the external connections blocked for phpstorm, I changed that in System Preferences > Security > Firewall, on the list of apps I searched phpstorm and allow external connections
