[stunnel-users] stunnel and socat

Thu Jan 26 17:04:11 CET 2012

Hello.  I use socat to connect stunnel to a socks proxy on my client
workstation running windows.  the socks proxy then connects to a news server
on the internet. The initial connection works just fine and it appears to
stay connected while I am transferring data and for a while afterwards; but
after a period of idle connection say five or ten minutes, I get a message
from my network adaptor popup saying that the connection stunnel had to my
localhost has failed.  Any ideas on how I can make the connection between
stunnel and localhost persist longer during periods of inactivity? I would
like it to stay connected until I purposely stop it. Below is the relevant
section of "stunnel.conf".

[newsreader_to_newsserver]

accept = 127.0.0.1:120

connect = 127.0.0.1:5630

CAfile = peer-news_certificate.pem

verify = 3
