I have been using MySql Workbench successfully last week, but this morning, it systematically fails to open a SSH tunnel.
I have checked the logs and found the following:
16:46:47 [INF][ SSH tunnel]: Existing SSH tunnel not found, opening new one
16:46:54 [INF][ SSH tunnel]: Opening SSH tunnel to 192.168.200.254

Yet, when I try to connect from a terminal, the SSH connection works fine. Any idea how to solve this issue?
Findings:
It seems like there might be a bug with version 6.3.9. I re-installed MySql Workbench with the following (I am on Ubuntu):
# The following will remove mysql too
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql*
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
# Then reboot your PC
# Re-install MySql Workbench from the Ubuntu software application
