[stunnel-users] Stunnel as windows service doesn't start on restart.

Mon Sep 22 21:41:30 CEST 2014

I checked my stunnel.con file and I find I'm not using dns names, only IP addresses. That's probably the reason it works on my side. If you are using dns names, most likely we need to add the dnscache service as a prerequisite.

You may want to open an elevated command prompt and try:

sc config stunnel depend= dnscache

Then reboot to see what happens

Elasticsearch. But it's stunnel itself that won't start. The stunnel
service shows as started, but no logs are produced. Once I stop stunnel
service and start it again the logs shows up. Also stunnel with Automatic
Delayed start works fine.
