Hello. At times I would like to have Stunnel (in Windows OS) running through a proxy on localhost, say, a socks proxy. Based on what I have seen and read here and in the list archives about that, although admittedly I have not yet read every single thread, I am inclined to say that it is not designed to do so easily if at all. Someone even suggested to me that these settings alone would allow running it over a socks proxy on my machine:
; these settings relate to using stunnel through a proxy
;protocol=connect
;protocolHost=127.0.0.1:portXYZ
I tested this on my system but it failed to work. On the other hand I have had success using a program like socat for this purpose. Am I correct in thinking that the above settings alone are not going to do it or do I need additional settings with them for this purpose, or is it not going to work with Stunnel alone? Thanks.
