OpenSSL and GnuTLS are two completely different software packages. Perhaps you
should ask this on a GnuTLS list.
(Personally, I wouldn't consider GnuTLS "a good choice" for any task that
required security, or a decent-quality implementation. Heartbleed was bad, but
the GnuTLS goto bug of a few weeks back was inexcusable.)
Regardless of what implementation you use, though, I'd suggest picking up a
copy of Rescorla's /SSL and TLS/ book, or a similar reference. Trying to get a
crash course in configuring and administering SSL and TLS by email is an
enterprise fraught with danger and disappointment.
If I understand your requirements, a better approach would probably be a
generic SSL/TLS tunnel utility like STunnel, or a VPN.
