A windows versionof Stunnel is available from the stunnel website
(www.stunnel.org), I would reccomend using it for your needs.

Isnīt it possible to tunnel MySQL connections through ssl?
Under Linux stunnel does a great job encrypting protocols that use a single
port for
connections. I think it would not be hard to port stunnel to other
platforms.
Under Windows I guess PuTTY (freeware, source available) or one of its
related applications
(Plink?) (<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/>) can handle
client side
tunneled connections.
