The tunnel connects a local ''port'' to a remote port on a specific machine. Once the tunnel is set up, a client program can comnnect to the local port, and the tunnel takes care of connecting that to the remote destination.

-Note that where ever is written ''%%<your desktop name>%%'' this might be replaced with our Remote Windows Desktop Server pool: ''%%remote.strw.leidenuniv.nl%%'' or ''%%remote.physics.leidenuniv.nl%%''
