How do you plan on copying it to the other end?

I thought that stunneled ssh data was safe. However, recently I’ve read that if going through a sophisticated http/https proxy, it’s possible to be hacked by a “legitimate” mitm attack to fool an SSL client.****
Is it still possible to configure stunnel so that ssl can’t be compromised between both ends?****
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?****
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 does.****
I’m hoping someone could shed some light on this with simple suggested clientà server configs that would keep ssl uncompromised as much as possible.****
Thanks in advance!****
