I was interested in whether there's a simple way to have stunnel redirect traffic from a public Web browser/port to my home Web browser behind my DSL firewall (no ports opened/forwarded for incoming connections on the router, only outgoing-initiated)
Moin,
it is not clear to what you want to do. From a public web browser to your home web browser?
Can you clarify your setup?
As an example if I run Apache on my home machine, I'd like it to start the tunnel when I turn it on, have it automatically set up stunnel to a Linux box I have on the public net, and have anything to port 8090 on the Linux box get passed to my home machine 8080.
Even this is the stunnel list, I recommend to use a reverse ssh tunnel together with netcat to do this.
Setup netcat as an inetd application listening to port 8090 and redirect anything to localhost:8080 at the remote host.
At your local maschine (with the apache) start a reverse ssh tunnel, redirect anything from localhost:8080 (in this case your remote maschine) to your local machine:8080
home # ssh -R 8080:localhost:8090 user@remote You should use a key to get rid of the password question!
Add a line like this to the remote /etc/inetd.conf: 8090 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/nc /usr/bin/nc localhost 8080
