Unable to create seemingly simple stunnel configuration
To create a simple stunnel configuration, you'll need to define the stunnel service, specify the listening and forwarding ports, and provide the necessary SSL/TLS certificate information. Here's an example of a basic stunnel configuration:
makefile; stunnel.conf
[service_name]
accept = 12345
connect = 54321
cert = /path/to/certificate.pem
In this example:
- Replace
service_name
with a meaningful name for your stunnel service. accept
is the local port on which stunnel will listen for incoming connections.connect
is the remote port or address to which stunnel will forward the incoming connections./path/to/certificate.pem
should be replaced with the path to your SSL/TLS certificate file.
Save this configuration in a file called stunnel.conf
(or any other name you prefer) and place it in the appropriate directory for stunnel to read it (usually /etc/stunnel
on Linux systems).
Make sure you have the necessary SSL/TLS certificate files available and specify their correct paths in the configuration.
After setting up the configuration, you can start the stunnel service using the appropriate command for your system (e.g., stunnel
or systemctl start stunnel
).
Remember to adjust the configuration according to your specific needs, such as specifying the correct ports and certificate paths.
For more advanced configuration options, such as client authentication, logging, and timeouts, refer to the stunnel documentation for further guidance.
