I have installed stunnel4 on my 16.04 ubuntu and I have not been able to get any result out of the specific ports I have set it on via netstat -tulnp | grep 4444 here is my service status :
stunnel4.service - LSB: Start or stop stunnel 4.x (SSL tunnel for network daemons)
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/stunnel4; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

my conf file :
cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
setuid = root
setgid = root
output = /var/log/stunnel14/stunnel.log
[squid]
accept = 4444
connect = 127.0.0.1:54321
My stunnel.pid is present in the respective folder and yet I get that error message aside from that , it seems weird for me to see in the log , stunnel is trying to close squid
how can over come these errors ?
