 * does this plugin allow to connect remotely to databases using ssh tunneling (
   im with cloudways, they dont allow remote db connections, but do allow ssh tunneling).
 * if not, is anyone aware of means to remote connect wordpress through ssh tunnel?

 * Why wouldn’t it? It would just see the tunnel as another socket listening on 
   localhost. It has no concept of whether it’s another local DB server or a tunnel.

 * yeah, got it working – you are absolutely right – here is the reference to the
   terminal command to create the tunnel. its a bit slow but works fine! [https://technosailor.com/2013/03/15/tutorial-developing-locally-on-wordpress-with-remote-database-over-ssh/](https://technosailor.com/2013/03/15/tutorial-developing-locally-on-wordpress-with-remote-database-over-ssh/)
