Description
ssh -L defaults to exposing the tunnel locally on localhost. If a chisel server is providing access to a port on its localhost, it seems like having the client keep its end of the tunnel on localhost is a safe default. As a user coming from ssh tunnelling, this not being the case was an unexpected difference.
