    Hi again Dewen;<br>
    <br>
    It sounds to me like Stunnel isn't being accessed at all.  You
    should be seeing something in the <br>
    Stunnel log window.  I run Stunnel under Windows, so what I
    generally do is get Stunnel to listen<br>
    to the loopback interface at address 127.0.0.1, or some other
    address within the loopback interface<br>
    range.  As such, if I was attempting to access it with a utility
    like Netcat, my basic stunnel.conf would<br>
    look something like this for the client side:<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    debug =7<br>
    <br>
    [service.name]<br>
    client = yes<br>
    accept = 127.0.0.1:12035<br>
    connect = destination.address:1230<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Then, I would point Netcat to the listening address and port.  In
    your case, that might be netcat 127.0.0.1:12035.<br>
    <br>
    Then see if Stunnel logs your connection attempt.<br>
    <br>
    Again, this is under Windows, so your mileage may vary.<br>
    <br>
    Let us know how it works out for you.<br>
    <br>
    Regards;<br>
    <br>
    Thomas<br>

                    I don't know anything about Netcat, so I'm taking a

                    you're pointing Netcat at port 1230, while your
