[stunnel-users] Using stunnel for TLS with Geotrust cert?

Mon Mar 28 18:46:28 CEST 2016

And sorry for the flood, but this is somewhat important. There has to
be at least some level of verification, e.g. if mysql was connecting
bare it would still need to at least handshake and verify it's not
some random attacker connecting to the proxy. But I feel like stunnel
to stunnel would work, it's just something in the verification that I
need to fix. If I take out verification completely (e.g. delete verify
) then I can connect, although at that point so could anybody.
