> If you have access to your firewall, why not just open it up yourself?
If I want to temporarily open up my dev server so I can demo something to a client, this is beneficial because 1) it's a single line in my local terminal, not 30 clicks in a crappy router web admin and 2) it disappears as soon as I close the tunnel, I don't have to remember to undo the firewall changes.
