    Try forwarding to "127.0.0.1:3306" rather than "localhost:3306".

    OpenSSH is IPv6-aware and it might be trying to connect via IPv6
    while your application is only listening on IPv4. Using a numeric
    IPv4 loopback address will (should?) make it connect via IPv4. You can
    also restart your sshd with "-4" to make is use IPv4 only.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
