I used ssh -L 10002:192.168.0.30:10002 192.168.1.135 to establish port forwarding but now I need to remove it.

How do I do this?

If you are using Linux you can kill the process by:

ps aux | grep ssh

and then use

kill <id>

To kill the process.

If the kill command is not successfull you can try

kill -9 <id>

No. No. No. Please, please, please do not use kill -9 until after you've tried just kill. Many processes will have signal handlers which will clean up their use of resources, cleanly close connections and other pre-shutdown tasks. If you kill with -9, the process dies immediately without doing the cleanup. Killing without -9 will work most of the time. – Doug Harris Dec 23 '09 at 18:44

kill -9 without reason is like using a shotgun to kill a mosquito. :) – Darren Hall Dec 23 '09 at 21:24

You could use the "escape-key" (usually ~) followed by C to get a cli to your connection. You can from there remove tunnels without taking down your connection.
