Stunnel is an open-source multi-platform computer program, used to provide universal TLS/SSL tunneling service. Stunnel can be used to provide secure encrypted connections for clients or servers that do not speak or natively. It runs on a variety of operating systems, including most Unix-like operating systems and Windows. Stunnel relies on a separate library, such as OpenSSL or SSLeay, to implement the underlying TLS or SSL protocol. Stunnel uses public-key cryptography with X.509 digital certificates to secure the SSL connection. Clients can optionally be authenticated via a certificate too. If linked against libwrap, it can be configured to act as a proxy-firewall service as well. Stunnel is maintained by Michał Trojnara. Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) with OpenSSL exception.
