Who needs a stunnel if you have a tls tunnel?
tlstunnel
is picky; it won't accept connections:
- which do not contain the secure renegotiation extension
- which speak SSL version 3
- if the given certificate chain is not valid (or contains an X.509 version 1 certificate, or less than 1024 bits RSA public key
You first need OCaml (at least 4.1.0) and OPAM (1.2.*) from your distribution.
Run opam install tlstunnel
after opam init
finished.
A sample command line is:
tlstunnel -b 127.0.0.1:8080 -f 4433 -cert server.pem
which listens on TCP port 4433
with the given certificate chain
and private key (both in server.pem
), and forwards
connections to 127.0.0.1
on port 8080
.
An optional argument is -l FILE
to log into a file instead of to
stdout. Try --help
for all command line arguments.
