In the video, Tinkernut (2019). SSH Tunneling showed that there are lots of things you can
do with SSH, and tunneling is one of them. The video provided an example of how a seaport
with many boats arranges its docks according to berth numbers in a real-world scenario.

The boat's assigned berth number shows where it should go to deliver its packages to the
designated berth number when it wants to dock. According to Tinkernut, depending on the
data being transferred, a basic networking port and the example from real life are comparable.
Additionally, networking protocols designate a unique port number for every shipment and
specify the delivery location for the data.

Three examples of SSH Tunneling are provided in the video, and while Tinkernut used the
Command Line Interface to remain limited to Windows, Mac, and Linux OS, the video offers
the opportunity to experiment with the tunneling concept similar to the Putty website. Local
port forwarding comes first, followed by dynamic port forwarding and reverse tunneling in
order of priority. All of the SSH tunneling examples in the video are demonstrated with a
specific scenario.

You must first type SSH -L, then the new port you want to use, the name of the computer you
want to remote into, open the remote desktop application, and finally type localhost followed
by the port number you choose to perform a local port forwarding.
