Publisher's Description of Stunnel

" SSL tunneling proxy. an SSL encryption wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. "
- From Michal Trojnara
A multiplatform SSL tunneling proxy.
The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server.
It can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP2, POP3, and IMAP servers without any changes in the programs' code.
Stunnel uses OpenSSL libraries for cryptography, so it supports whatever cryptographic algorithms you compiled into your library.
The obsolete 3.x branch is no longer maintained. Use stunnel3 perl script as a drop-in replacement for backward compatibility.
Can I use stunnel to communicate across a firewall?>b?
As long as the tcp traffic is allowed to traverse your firewall, absolutely.
You're most likely to convince your firewall administrator to allow secure traffic from inside to outside. In fact, if your firewall is doing NAT, you can probably stunnel out from your machine to an internet machine without any firewall re-configuration.
Can I use stunnel to securely connect two subnets across the Internet?
Absolutely. There are two options:
* Use tappipe
* Run PPP over a regular stunnel connection
