there's multiple ways to make tunnels in ssh. -L is one of them (local forwarding). basically, local, remote and dynamic forwarding are possible. there's some interesting uses for the latter 2 as well so if you only know -L it might be nice to check out the other methods and how you can use those. You can for example, forward a remote localhost port of a server to your own localhost, and then have a fully encrypted channel to some internal or locally bound service. for example if some server hosts a site on it's loopback or some service is listening there which you want to interact with, then you can do it directly from your own machine instead of through an active ssh session. (for example with websites this is useful, because then you can have a graphical browser instead of links via ssh x11 forwarding or w/e)
