Setting up the Tunnel
The most common methods of setting up a tunnel are through putty or through command-line SSH.
To open an SSH tunnel via the command line, run:
ssh -L3307:127.0.0.1:3306 -p 22 -N -t -x user@myhost.com
Connecting with MySQL
You can connect to the MySQL server!
You want to choose 3307 for your local port so that it does not conflict with your existing local copy of MySQL.
mysql -u username -ppassword -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3307
