RE: ssh connection
I read the tutorial you are following and it sounds more or less correct (it's a lot of info to swear for every little bit of it, but I am familiar with SSH and tunneling and nothing I read there raised any red flags).
If you are testing this on your LAN behind a router, and are trying to connect to your public IP address (such as shown by whatismyip.com), this may fail due to a limitation of many routers -- even though it would work just fine if you were connecting from outside. Try to connect to the internal IP address of the computer hosting the sshd server instead, or ask someone else to test it for you.
