Once you have an existing SSH session opened using the default OpenSSH 2 client, to open a tunnel simply type <enter>~C where <enter> is the key on your computer keyboard. ~ (tilde) is the SSH’s default EscapeChar . You press <enter> first to clear the buffer, the ~ escape char and any one of a number of options.

Disable mDNS and SSDP Discovery in Google Chrome

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone. — Orson Welles.
