Why ‘Tunnel’?
In this example, tunneling is more of a relay or a proxy. I’m using my favorite remote desktop software called Rustdesk. With it, I can use its tunneling feature. That allows me to map a TCP Port on one side and I will end up on the far side of the remote PC's network.
I like this feature because during a network issue, having a lot of data and graphics redrawn on the screen, can take a while. when I use the tunneling feature, I can use my local web browser, terminal emulator or software and the tunneling acts like a vpn connection.
If this is hard to visualize, check out the short video.
