(Excel) SSH Tunnel for Database Connection (such as ADO, ODBC, JDBC, etc.)

Demonstrates how to create an SSH tunneling client in a background thread of your application. This makes it possible to SSH tunnel database connections without the need for separate software (such as PuTTY) to be running.

'  server.

'  the SSH tunnel.  The database connection string would
'  use "localhost" for the hostname and 3316 for the port.
'  We're not going to show the database coding here,
'  because it can vary depending on the API you're using
'  (ADO, ODBC, OLE DB, etc. )

'  This is where the application's database code would go...

'  Stop the background listen/accept thread:

waitForThreadExit = True
success = tunnel.StopAccepting(waitForThreadExit)

    Debug.Print tunnel.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub

'  Close the SSH tunnel (would also kick any remaining connected clients).
