    <p>I think your problem is the password.  Stunnel works fine as a
      service in Windows Server 2012R2, but there is no connection I am
      aware of between an interactive session and the service program. 
      You might try modifying the start up command to include piping in
      the password from a file (which, of course, defeats the purpose of
      the password) to see if that is the issue.</p>
    <p>I have found the delayed start option on the service sometimes
      works better to more sure any needed network services like dhcp
      are up and running before stunnel.</p>
    <p>Good luck.</p>
