SSH tunneling transports TCP over a TCP encapsulation. The adaptive rate
control may not work how you'd expect; I've had some odd issues with SSH
tunnels in the past that've turned out to be caused by TCP rate control
issues.

In any case, a MUCH better option in almost all cases will be SSL,
possibly with client certificates.
