How to create Start-Stop-Status-Restart service for Stunnel on CentOS

Answered 4 years ago (Mar 30, 2021) by Eldernode staff

Dear Samanta, 

To install the stunnel package, run the command below:

sudo yum -y install stunnel  

But if the packages would not be installed as a service on your server, the below commands may not work.

systemctl start stunnel  systemctl stop stunnel  systemctl status stunnel  systemctl restart stunnel

So, use the following command to be able to run the stunnel.

stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf  

So, the stunnel.conf and stunnel.pem will be created and you should receive no error then. Now, the stunnel can listen to the related port.

Feel free to ask any more questions.
