Re: Help in setting stunnel in server mode to over come TLSV2 compatibility

There are other tools for performing port forwarding with less overhead 
(I believe tappipe is one), although I make use stunnel to do this 
extensively.

In order forward a secure connection from one port to another is a two 
step process with stunnel:

A sample configuration segment would be:

[SFDC reverse in]

client = no

accept = 8008

connect = localhost:48008


[SFDC reverse out]
client = yes
accept = localhost:48008
connect = localhost:8009
