Setting up Stunnel on Server AND Clients
G'Day all, I'm having trouble understanding how to incorporate Stunnel into a client/server environment. There is a application running on the server which receives and sends data to various clients. The clients also have a communications application running. None of the apps (on both server and clients) support any form of encryption. So I want to use Stunnel for this. How would I set Stunnel up on the server and also the clients? I can't find an example on stunnel.org that discusses such a scenario. Any help would be great. Cheers.

Who initiates the conversation? Is it only the client that initiates a conversation to the server or does the server initiate a conversation to the client? In the latter case I'd imagine you'd have some firewall problems as well ;). Traffic dumps do help. Jan -- http://www.surfnet.nl/organisatie/jame
Only the client does. The client makes a connection and requests data. The server then sends the data across. Peter --- Jan Meijer <jan.meijer@surfnet.nl> wrote:
