Using Stunnel for SQL encrypted external connections
-
I want to force all external connections to my SQL server (2005 and 2008R2) to be encrypted using SSL, essentially I want to encrypt only one of the network interfaces.
The easiest way might be to use Stunnel and configure it in pfSense.
Has anyone experience with doing this to help my learning curve?

OK, so I guess it might not be possible (been Googling for several hours now and there's nothing out there).
-
Not sure if this would work for you, but you can configure SQL to only allow ssl connections.
-
It looks like Stunnel simply doesn't work on pfSense. I can't get it to work with anything (I've tried for several hours, many different options).
….just posting my finding in case it's helpful to someone (i.e. don't waste your time).
Unfortunately there is very little help and documentation out there.

If you are not set on Stunnel, you may want to check Zebedee. pfSense got a package for it.

Ah, I searched for SSL in the packages so didn't see it. I don't care what I use as long as it works TBH
