Hi Browne,

I am not understand like what config I have to do in stunnel config file.

As per application it will trigger 8228 port of remote server, but at the momen stunnel is working only when I am trying to telnet localhost on 9233 port.

Dheeraj,

I'm afraid you confused the directions:

In you configuration file, you told Stunnel to accept connections on localhost, port 9233 ("accept = 127.0.0.1:9233"). Then, you told Stunnel, if such a connection is accepted, to connect to a remote server at port 8228 ("connect = 69.191.198.34:8228").

As long as both connections are established, Stunnel will forward data from localhost to 69.191.198.34 and vice versa, while encrypting the data in the localhost -> 69.191.198.34 direction and decrypting the data in the opposite direction (69.191.198.34 -> localhost).

With this setup, a client program (such as Thunderbird) sends and receives plain-text data to/from a Stunnel instance on the same machine, while a server program on a remote machine (such as the Google mail server) sends and receives encrypted data to/from Stunnel.

Is this about the setup you have in mind?

Is your application server or client? Does it send and receive plain-text data or encrypted data?
