This doesn't actually seem to work:

ssh -N -L 8000:yahoo.com:443 aws

Given that :

ssh aws

works as expected because I've set up a ~/.ssh/config file with this alias.

The only thing that happens is the yahoo.com error page is displayed. I thought this was going to be a one liner VPN, but I was wrong.
