HTTP tunneling is used to bypass firewalls and other network restrictions and an HTTP tunnel is used to create a direct network link between two locations.

A tunnel is used to ship a foreign protocol across a network that normally wouldn’t support it. You can take protocol A and wrap it or put it in a tunnel with protocol B.
