This is a Windows utility to automatically start up STUNNEL to redirect
SSL VNC connections to a remote host.  Then TightVNC Viewer (included)
is launched to used this SSL tunnel.

An example server would be "x11vnc -ssl", or any VNC server with a
2nd STUNNEL program running on the server side.

Just click on the program "ssl_tightvncviewer.exe", and then enter
the remote VNC Server and click "Connect".  Click on "Help" for more
information.  You can also set some simple options under "Options ..."

Note that on Windows when the TightVNC viewer disconnects you may need to
terminate the STUNNEL program manually.  To do this: Click on the STUNNEL
icon (dark green) on the System Tray and then click "Exit".  Before that,
however, you will be prompted if you want ssl_tightvncviewer.exe to try
to terminate STUNNEL for you. (Note that even if STUNNEL termination is
successful, the Tray Icon may not go away until the mouse hovers over it!)

With this STUNNEL and TightVNC Viewer wrapper you can also enable using
SSL Certificates with STUNNEL, and so the connection is not only encrypted
but it is also not susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.

See the STUNNEL and x11vnc documentation for how to create and add SSL
Certificates (PEM files) for authentication.  Click on the "Certs ..."
button to specify the certificate(s).  See the Help there for more info
