pgAdmin 4: How to establish a connection through an SSH tunnel/interface in Windows

I installed the latest pgAdmin 4 (v2.1) but I found out that (related thread ), for the moment, the only way to establish a connection through an SSH tunneling is using another outside process, an example in the pgAdmin's forum says: > I setup a tunnel as follows: > > ssh -f dpage(at)hostname(dot)enterprisedb(dot)com -L 5999: hostname.enterprisedb.com:5432 -N > > (...) I was running on Mac, but the same procedure should work on Linux. On Windows, there's a tunnelling app in Putty iirc, but I don't know how to use it offhand. I have found a simple PuTTY tutorial to establish a connection using an SSH Tunnel . The connection is established but it seems, when I try to connect through pgAdmin it fails or is refused (using _127.0.0.1:3306_ or _127.0.0.1:5432_ as the tunnel's destination). Why?
