Oh, and on the topic of automatically setting up ssh port forwarding as a service: OP should definitely use autossh. This will keep the connection alive if it drops, automatically restarting it as necessary. Otherwise, the first time it dies the service will stop and the user must manually restart it again. I've been doing this (autossh port forwarding) for years and it's fantastically convenient.
