[stunnel-users] Newbie trying to connect over a Microsoft Proxy

Wed Jan 5 19:17:51 CET 2005

Hi All

I'm a relative newbie to Stunnel, and am trying to set up a tunnel so I can
Remote Desktop from work to my PC/server at home.

I'm using versions 4.05 & 4.06 of the Windows binaries.

A Microsoft Proxy Server v2.0 is used at work, and it proxies HTTP, Secure (is
that SSL/port 443??), FTP and Gopher over port 800. I'm not sure if it proxies
Socks, as there's no entry for it in Internet Explorer.

I've tested the configuration and it works on my LAN, and it works from home
when I enter my domain home (so my firewall is set up correctly).

My config is as follows:

#Client
CAfile = stunnel.pem
cert = stunnel.pem
client = yes
verify = 3
[rdp-80]
accept = localhost:3390
connect = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80

#Server
CAfile = stunnel.pem
cert = stunnel.pem
client = yes
verify = 3
[rdp-80]
accept = 192.168.10.221:80
connect = 127.0.0.1:3389

Is there something I need to do to traverse this proxy? Any help would be
greatly appreciated!

Tks,

Michael Blake
