So, I’m kind of dumb and this article helped me in a tangible way. When I work with jupyter notebooks on an ec2 (where I already have ssh access), I go into terraform or the console and add my personal ip to allowed ips in the security group, and then access the notebook via EC2_PUBLIC_IP:JUPYTER_PORT in my browser. This is annoying in particular, in addition to needing to add an IP, in that when I move from the office to home or vice versa there’s always a brain fart where I cannot access because I’m on a new ip.

After reading this article I started a port forwarding session and can access the remote notebook without issue. All it took was the ssh port forwarding. Amazing.
