Hello,

I've installed a stunnel between my laptop and my server (both in Debian 
SID) [v5.06-2].

Here is my client stunnel.conf :
pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
client = yes
sslVersion = TLSv1.2
debug = 7
[ssh]
accept = 5000
protocol = connect
protocolHost = myserver:443
connect = myproxy:8080

The server one :
cert = mycert
key = mykey
chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4/
setuid = stunnel4
setgid = stunnel4
pid = /stunnel4.pid
socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1
sslVersion = TLSv1.2
; https ou ssh encapsulé dans du ssl
[sslh]
accept  = 443
connect = myserver:444

And my .ssh/config :
Host myserver
	HostName localhost
	Port 5000
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mykey
	ProtocolKeepAlives 6

At home (I use tinyproxy to test), everything is OK. At work, with a 
"true" proxy, sometimes I can connect (but I'm quickly disconnected), 
sometimes I can't...
I've watch the logs but find nothing.

Do you have any idea ? Something to look in the logs ?

Here is an example of a short connection :
~ $ ssh myserver
root at myserver:~# cat /var/log/syslog | grep stunnel
[...]
root at myserver~# Timeout, server localhost not responding.

More often I have :
~ $ ssh myserver
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

In my local logs :
