I have a VPS server that serves an application and a set of customer facing services like images server, analytics server and search server besides the main web server, but also I have some administrative services services like a database performace monitoring server called PgHero.
that particular server is not visible to the outside world, it's there listening on port 8003 but the firewall doesn't allow connecting to that port from the outside world.
I just want me to be the only one to see it, so I bind that server port to my local machine with SSH and I can open http://localhost:8003 to see the service as if it was working on my local machine with that command
ssh -L 8003:localhost:8003 user@serverip
