I’m an Admin on the box and just made sure everything was started as the Administrator. Is this not enough?

Thats less an stunnel issue and more a "are you running as admin" issue.

Hi I have a windows 10 machine that I’ve got this running on, and the screen shot below is what I keep getting and I am unable to find the issue,

Can someone please shed some light as to what is wrong? And what else you may need.

Thanks Paul

And when I do a netstat I do not see port 1972 in use

I would avoid running any service as administrator. Once the config

file(s) has been read, stunnel just shuttles data between ports. There is no reason for it to have elevated privileges.

Also, Thomas may not know that on Windows, anyone can bind to any port, so port-permissions shouldn't be an issue even when not running as Administrator.

Have you "disabled" any ports[1]?

netsh int ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp

It's also possible that you are trying to bind to 127.0.0.1:1972 while another process has already bound to 0.0.0.0:1972[2]. Is anything else listening on [anything]:1972?

Hope that helps,

-chris
