# -4      Forces ssh to use IPv4 addresses only.
# -6      Forces ssh to use IPv6 addresses only.
# -C      Requests compression of all data
# -p port Port to connect to on the remote host.
# -f      Requests ssh to go to background just before command execution.
# -q      Quiet mode. Causes most warning and diagnostic messages to be suppressed.
# -N      Do not execute a remote command. This is useful for just forwarding ports.
# -D [bind_address:]port Specifies a local “dynamic” application-level port forwarding.
# -L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport Specifies that connections to the given local host are to be forwarded to the given host and hostport.
