Access RabbitMQ remotely

[MC]

I have created a Vagrant virtual machine using 

kensykora/windows_2012_r2_standard box, then I've installed RabbitMQ 3.5.4 (using Chocolatey: choco install rabbitmq -version 3.5.4 -y) and enabled the management rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management. So far, so good.

So I've started a remote desktop session into the virtual machine and opened a browser to http://localhost:15672/, this will show RabbitMQ login page. And that's ok. 

Last step I created a forwarded port in the Vagrantfile:

    config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 15672, host: 15673, id: "rabbitmq"

restarted the machine and everything seems OK. 

Alas, when I try to reach http://localhost:15673/ (from the host machine: note the number 3 at the end of port number) the request expire and goes time out. How can I solve this issue. How can I reach the RabbitMQ web management console (installed on the guest machine) using browser installed on the host machine. 

PS: Since I've read that guest user can't access remotely I've deleted this membership and created new user with administrative role but browser still goes timeout when I try to reach that port.

This is a Vagrant question, really. According to [1] your configuration looks fine.
Have you restarted the guest after applying it?

The fact that you wouldn't be able to log in using guest/guest on localhost
cannot affect TCP connections.
