When I try and run stunnel i get a ‘server is down’ error and the log says:

In spite of the example, you can’t have the #comments on the same line as the “connect” command. Delete them or move to another line. Fixed in later examples.

Still sounds like a stunnel.conf syntax error. Take a look at the stunnel log to see what the error message says-usually gives a line number and a problem description. Cut and paste the following from tech into a text editor (notepad) and save the file as stunnel.conf, put it in the same folder as stunnel.exe.
Thanks for replying sded. I had already tried tech’s info but I did it again & still got the following message (this is all the log says:

That particular message says that stunnel.exe was unable to find the text file stunnel.conf. Check:
stunnel.conf is named correctly
it is in the same folder as stunnel.exe
Did you install stunnel via a shortcut in your startup folder? Check the properties of the shortcut too, to make sure there are no command line entries with it. And you did use a text editor (notepad), not something like Word?
