Description
Hello,
I am using the following code below. I call this ConnectSSH() every 5 seconds (as a test to see how it performs)
After I let this run a night, i see that the used memory increased significantly, and it keeps rising.
After some investigation on my own, i notice that when I remove the "forwardedportlocal" object, (so I don't make such an object, and I obviously don't start it) Then there is no memory issue. The client is created, and then disposed cleanly.
I can see this happening the diagnostic tool of visual studio.
I already added portfwld.stop() and portfwld.dispose() together with of course SshClient.disconnect() and SshClient.dispose()
but that did not help.
I made a version in vb.net and also one in c#, but the results are the same.
I also Commented the connection to the database to show that this is not the issue.
I hope someone can give me some insight of what is happening, or perhaps what I am doing wrong?

Console.WriteLine("Port forwarded: {0}", portFwld.ToString());

Research direction
Start with the ConnectSSH entry point and the repeated ForwardedPortLocal creation shown in the report. Reproduce the overnight or repeated-call scenario, then trace the port-forward lifecycle and disposal behavior; done means repeated connections no longer show steadily increasing memory use.
