To put it blatantly, I am trying to make stunnel 4.12 create a 2 way encrypted channel from my home computer as a client to an SSL supporting proxy (HTTP). Also, I am using localhost (127.0.0.1) as a connect address for proxy settings in such programs as Internet Explorer or a download manager. A sample of my stunnel.conf is bellow:
2005.09.23 21:29:23 LOG3[6012:3408]: Failed to initialize remote connection 2005.09.23 21:29:23 LOG5[6012:6140]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3332 And so on into infinity
Am I trying to do the impossible, or are all those 8196 bit RSA keys (certified through x508) that I generated going to waste?
Well, as the logging says, stunnel seems unable to connect to the remote service. This setup works, I'm using it as well.
So you have to discover why the remote service is not to be reached. And as a startingpoint: it is highly unlikely an SSL supporting proxy is running on port 80, they usually reside on port 443.
