PhpStorm and Remote XDebug not working

Question

I've followed multiple tutorials to set up XDebug with PhpStorm but it seems like
I'm not lucky with it at all. No matter what I try, it's always stuck with
Waiting for incoming connection with ide key 'PHPSTORM'
But when I reload the page with CTRL + R I can see for a split second connected.
However, then it switches back to "Waiting.."
I've tried the XDebug Chrome Plugin and the PHPStorm XDebug Generator Bookmarks
aswell as enabling "Start listening for PHP Debug Connections" in PHPStorm.
I'm Using NginX with php5-fpm and tried tcpdump 9089.
As said, for a split second it dumps it. But then it's lost again..

Can someone please help me?

My php.ini config :

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so"
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9089
xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profilter_output_dir="/tmp/xdebug.log"
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM

My PHPStorm Settings :

[ PHP Server Settings[2]

EDIT : I have NO IDEA why, but removing xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
and replacing it with xdebug.remote_host=my.ip.add.ess made it work?!
As I've read the docs I had the understanding that the first setting is for implicit requests
while the later one is for an explicit ip request..

My xdebug behaves similarly if I try to debug a PHP script rather than a full project (classes, functions etc), perhaps bare that in mind as to where you put your breakpoints. Secondly, have you tried using xdebug.remote_host = ... instead of remote_connect_back? — Ankh

As I'm using a laravel project I've set a breakpoint where I'm fetching data from the database. And no, I didn't try remote_host as I've read that xdebug.remote_connect_back=1 is the 'same', just for all incoming connections instead of a specific IP — Krenor

Please collect and provide xdebug logs for such unsuccessful debug session: xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#remote_log — LazyOne

"I have NO IDEA why, but removing..." Possibly wrong IP was automatically detected (you have to look into xdebg log for that) or your firewall was blocking connections on that IP (e.g. because it belongs to different subnetwork/firewall profile) — LazyOne

Give the following setting a try, sounds funny but just copy past the entire block instead of typing them in (believe you me that helped a couple of colleague of mine)

xdebug.remote_host=10.0.2.2
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.show_exception_trace=0
xdebug.show_local_vars=0
xdebug.var_display_max_data=10000
xdebug.var_display_max_depth=20
xdebug.max_nesting_level=200

p.s.

I assume you have the extinction file is exists in your guest machine (Virtual Machine) since you said it will stops at the breakpoint for split of sound

Also i assume your browser is sending the correct "PHPSTORM"
