Hi all, Is there any roadmap for Stunnel to support UDP applications? Cant a simple UDP forwarder (with proper buffering to ensure a tcp-like stream of data) do the job? May be this topic is discussed and brainstormed before. I couldnot find any relevant details about this in the archives. Thanks and Regards, Paul

erm, but surely UDP + packet reassembly ~= TCP ? I know there are applications (like VOIP) where maintaining a realtime connection means dropping the occasional packet, but surely this would require renegatiation of the SSL connection for each data packet! That's where protocols like IPSEC might be a better solution. Of course you could encapsulate your UDP packets in a SSL (stunnel) wrapped TCP stream to avoid the renogation problem - this is well documented for *nix systems elsewhere. Or did I miss something?
