There's no fundamental reason why this can't work.  I've done similar things:

> ssh -t dev.toolforge.org -L 3306:tools.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud:3306"


Sometimes it  takes a few tries to find the right ssh incantation, but port 
tunneling is definitely something that works.  One thing you might try is 
running ssh in verbose mode (ssh -v, or -vv, or -vvv to get increasingly more 
detailed logging).  A lot of it is low-level details which may not mean 
anything, but it's worth a shot to see if anything jumps out at you.

Another good debugging tool is netcat (i.e. the "nc" command).  You can set to 
listen for connections on your VPS server (on some arbitrary port) and then try 
to connect to it.  That should at least tell you if you're getting as far as 
executing a TCP handshake through your tunnel.
