Descrfiption of Stunnel

Stunnel allows you to secure non-secure applications by capturing TCP/IP connections and sending them through a SSL tunnel created between two systems. It provides security without requiring changes to the application's code.

Stunnel is available on both Unix and Windows and requires a functioning SSL library such as OpenSSL in order to run.

Note: Stunnel is kind of a "quick and dirty/poor man's" VPN.
