<p class="MsoNormal">I’m going to take a wild guess here; which I’m sure I’m probably wrong. But, could I just install stunnel; and, let it create automatically a self-signed (stunnel.pem) certificate file… then just copy that file to the stunnel install on
the other end? That way both sides are already aware of each other’s public keys; and, wouldn’t be vulnerable during the initial unencrypted handshake?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sure I’m probably way off; and, there’s more I need to do in stunnel’s configuration to further ensure the SSL won’t be compromised.. such as the stunnel “verify” setting. I’m not sure which setting to have it; and, what it actually
