Is there a GUI ssh client I can use? On Windows I use putty. I constantly have to use SSH tunneling and I know it can be done in the commandline but I prefer to use GUI client.
There's scarcely a difference, is there? I mean, you have to have a terminal emulator running. Anyway, if you install kssh, it integrates with Konsole to add an SSH session definition and supplies a helper dialog that makes it easy to specify all the SSH options (the one part where a GUI is meaningful, I suppose). Kssh also remembers the sessions you've connected and all the settings you used to make them (it even knows all the distinct user names you used to connect to each host), freeing you from having to re-enter all those details each time. The other difference when creating a Konsole session (using kssh) that directly establishes an SSH connection is that you don't have a superfluous shell sitting around just waiting for the SSH process to terminate.
