Linux PC acts as an SQL server creating a secure connection with an
Stunnel server service that serves that SQL server data

Windows PC with an Stunnel client service connects to the Linux PC
with the Stunnel server service.


Note: a client service and server service can run on the same Stunnel
instance.

Note2: the above is best viewed on monospace font. The data flow of
the ascii "arrows" just show which one connects to which one, not
the, also involved, return data.



Answering to the other questions:

A client service on Stunnel wraps a plain text connection on a
secure connection to connect to a remote secure service. Supports "n"
number of outgoing connections.

The server service on Stunnel offers a secure channel to connect from
a secure capable application or another Stunnel instance with a
client service. Supports "n" number of incoming connections.

"n" depends on the OS, the CPU, the RAM, etc.
