Hello Jeffrey, thanks for responding. The firewall is a watchguard box, I don't think I can install openssl nor stunnel on it. Once the ssl encrypted data from the devices out in the field reaches my network (firewall watchguard then forwards ssl traffic) into my linux box running openssl and stunnel, the linux box then has to unencrypt it and send it to another computer (windows pro, that knows how to handle the data) running in my lan that doesn't have openssl nor stunnel on it. Can I use stunnel for this? I am confused as to whether stunnel can work for me or not.
