well, what i meant is forwarding to the current address the browser
connects to, so basically browsing through stunnel.

is it really that complicated to achieve that? if i configure stunnel
as a client, and make the browser send traffic to the accept address,
shouldnt stunnel encrypt the traffic with TLS and send forward to the
connect address? if thats true, shouldnt it also decrypt returning
traffic and send back to the browser?
when i configured stunnel as both client and server on the same
computer, it worked, but the browser still gave
'ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap' errors. probably because the server side
decrypted it again before it reached the website's server?

i dont necessarily need it to strip encryption, just use anything
below TLS 1.1. for example on 'https://via.hypothes.is/' i can visit
sites that would otherwise give cypher error, and they stay as https
