[stunnel-users] Access an arbitrary https website on http://localhost:3000 via stunnel.

67.166.110.237 www.coolaj86.com
67.166.110.237 coolaj86.com
But still the issue exists when I use firefox to open http://localhost:3000/.

Hongyi,

you have to convince firefox use 127.0.0.1 as IP address and
coolaj86.com as host for the HTTP requests.

127.0.0.1 is the IP address your stunnel daemon listens on, and
coolaj86.com is needed by the remote server to select the right
virtual host.

Try to change your /etc/hosts to read
|
| 127.0.0.1 coolaj86.com
|
and stunnel-tlsvpn.conf to read
|
| connect = 67.166.110.237:443
|

Then, use http://coolaj86.com:3000 in firefox.

HTH,

Ludolf

P.S.: As your signature is English, I suppose it is for European/
American/Oceanian eyes and your name is given in the European
order (family name last). Hongyi is your given name then.
My apologies if this is wrong.

Zhao,

For some reason, firefox does not use the stunnel but tries to connect
coolaj86.com directly. It looks as if the entry in the host file is
not effective. (You might check who replies to 'ping coolaj86.com'.)

No, I'm from China. Thanks for help again.

I know you're from China, that's why I was uncertain about the order
of names. Some people from East Asia swap their names if they write
them using the Latin script, others don't, so I didn't know how you
want to be called.
