Stunnel could listen on its local port *only* when the peer server is listening on its corresponding server socket. So if there is no serve on the other side, there should not be local listening socket. Does not that make sense?

Stunnel listens for connection request from the client(s) and connects
to the server on behalf of the client(s).  How will a client ever be
able to connect through Stunnel again if Stunnel closes the listening
socket?
