[stunnel-users] blackhole problem - please help to tune stunnel

Thu May 28 09:13:47 CEST 2020

Hi Michael,

No, there is no portable way of implementing this feature.  In fact, the
OS kernel only notifies server applications (including stunnel) about a
new incoming connection *after* the three-way TCP handshake has completed.

Some more details:

Best regards,
