If a straight port passthrough is needed, try SSL with client certs with
Stunnel:

Client certs can still be a bit of a pain to generate/configure for
first timers. Do not leave it open for unauthenticated access.
Why not use OpenSSH and key trust with a simple port forward?
A straight netcat would be a Bad Idea (TM).
