AllowTcpForwarding

2024-11-04

I need to understand how ssh port forwarding works so I can get Beekeeper working on SamTheMachine.
I think the first thing I need to understand is how to see if it's already active.
This tells me that it's something you do on the remote host, not the local machine.
...but if that's the case, then it's not what's preventing Beekeeper from connecting -- because I can connect from another machine to the same db server via a tunnel configured the same way.
- If it needs to be set up on the remote (which I don't think I ever did, for any of the machines I'm using), it's already been done.
- So the problem must be a local config issue.
...but I need to determine for certain that it's not an issue with ssh tunneling, so I can be sure I'm not wasting my time exploring the vast desert plain of other options.
Information in trouble-tickets on the Beekeeper Studio github repository suggest that it may be a problem with the current version of BK.
