[stunnel-users] stunnel 5.44 + pppd client side problem

Mon Apr 15 22:31:21 CEST 2019

No luck, unfortunately.

pppd option is not needed for OpenBSD pppd implementation (no this option available for pppd).

It seems a client side problem at all. Server side replies to test telnet connection.

Any ideas?
