Support reverse tunnel

context

I am trying to access adb in local machine from my remote server. To do that, I tried something like ssh -R ${remote_port}:localhost:${local_port} remote_address which opened a reverse port forwarding from my server and local machine so that I was able to access local attached devices in my remote server terminal. However, rather than using remote ssh tunnel everytime, I want to automate everything in vscode extension

Problem

It looks reverse port is a known issue. Wondering when that will be resolved? (https://code.visualstudio.com/api/advanced-topics/remote-extensions#known-issues)

I tried to use vscode.workspace.openTunnel (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode/master/src/vs/vscode.proposed.d.ts) api but it only supports a forward tunnel. Can we support reverse tunnel in this api?

Hoping this can solve my problem of connecting GDB client in the remote workspace to GDB server running on my local machine.
