The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server. It can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like POP2, POP3, and IMAP servers without any changes in the programs' code. It will negotiate an SSL connection using the OpenSSL or SSLeay libraries. It calls the underlying crypto libraries, so stunnel supports whatever cryptographic algorithms you compiled into your crypto package.

Unable to launch in daemon mode under windowz:

stunnel -c -p xxx.pem -d 21 -r x.x.x.x:y.

It asks pem phrase. I couldn't find any idea to work around....

If it is asking for pem phrase, it is likely your certificate is encrypted. The certificate must be unencrypted for Stunnel to run in daemon mode....

stunnel -c -p xxx.pem -d 21 -r x.x.x.x:y --passphrase-fd 0 < passfile.
