FWIW I’ve had great success using ghostunnel[0] instead of stunnel in prod. Big fan.

What was the need for an stunnel "replacement"? Looks like it has additional access controls and was written for use at Square, Inc.

stunnel supports TLS1.3; from the client side IME it works really well

ghostunnel appears to have a large number of dependencies on Go libraries written by a variety of third party authors

stunnel is a long-running project dating from 1998, managed by the same single author over the entire period
