    SSH Tunnel

Our db is hosted on Amazon. Our web server can connect to the db. Connections to the db are not allowed outside of the web server.
Run ssh tunnel locally:

This creates a tunnel from my local machine to the web server:
ssh -N -L 3307:my-rds-db.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:3306 ec2-my-web-server.compute-1.amazonaws.com
