_direct_tcpip_ex() will ask the server to connect to the specified
port, and the way I understand the code the returned channel is what
you'd use for talking to the remote server.

Ie. the channel is the TCP/IP connection.

If you want to tunnel or proxy to let another local application use
this channel, you have to create the socket and so on in the client.

Does this answer your question? What is your goal with this tunnel?
