- Individual TCP ports can be forwarded using the -L and -R options. The latter involves an RFC 4254 "tcpip-forward"-type request.
- Set the ExitOnForwardFailure configuration directive to yes to reliably detect forwarding failures
- X11 can be forwarded using the -X option. This will involve "x11"-type requests.

- The remote side must have set PermitTunnel to yes or a value matching the configured TunnelDevice type
