[stunnel-users] Web browsing over stunnel

It’s because the web site GETs a request  for http://127.0.0.1/ not for http://www.stunnel.org/

Just as an academic exercise, you may want to add this line to your hosts file (usually in \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts):

127.0.0.1 www.stunnel.net

Then change your connect line‭ to the IP address of www.stunnel.net (now 104.239.213.7 or 198.105.254.11).

And test again.
