====Connection Issues====
Coming back to this, I had issues connecting. I set up the tunnel using the saved profile in puTTY.exe and checked to see which local port was listening (it was 5901) and not firewalled using the listening ports tab under network on resmon.exe (it said allowed, not restricted under firewall status). VNC seemed to be running fine on Bastard, and I tried connecting to localhost::1 (that is 5901 on the localhost, through the tunnel to 5902 on Bastard) using VNC Connect by RealVNC. The connection was refused.
Ignoring the SSH tunnel worked fine: Connect to 192.168.2.202::5902 using either realVNC or the TightVNC client.
The localhost port seems to be open and listening just fine:
Test-NetConnection 127.0.0.1 -p 5901
So, presumably, there must be something wrong with the tunnel itself.
