When you observe that log is empty and that "stunnel shows as started",
do a CTRL ALT DEL to check if there is any process called "stunnel" that
is really running...
I have a doubt that, although scm says stunnel is running, in fact it is
not.

Hello,
I can tell my patch was adressing read file error on conf file,
but, unfortunately, not at all "dependencies of stunnel service at
start up",
which is likely to be the core pb preventing stunnel to start
correctly at boot time for people on that thread.
Michal added explicit dependencies at startup, that is necessary
to solve that bug. I did not check yet its implementation.
But maybe some services, although started, are still "not ready"
when stunnel starts, so that this makes stunnel fail.
I suggest that stunnel checks, not only the availability, but also
the "efficiency" of the DNS service by trying to resolve a well
known server.
it should retry during, eg, 3 seconds, and then stops with some
reports if failing to resolve the hostname,
either by lack of network, or by lack of answer from the name
resolver.
But...it seems that when having problems at startup, it cannot
even log anything....maybe this is due to the identity of "system
user" of stunnel at that particular moment: user that may have no
right to write on the HD.
People should check also the installation location of stunnel : it
is supposed (and have predefined shortcuts for that) to be
installed PREFERABLY in "c:\program files\stunnel".
I recommend to use that location.
They also should try to resolve by hand the hostnames they put in
their stunnel conf file, just to be sure.
On some network or machines, maybe there is a problem with the
firewall and SOME services tunneled by stunnel on forbidden ports.
On another hand, it sounds strange that just restarting stunnel
(in user mode or service mode ?) is solving the problem :
this sounds like unavailability of DNS at startup.
I did not investigate that particular problem, but I will perform
some tests soon with the last 504 (or 505).
Yours sincerely
Pierre

Using Stunnel on several Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 machines (all
such machines are X64 as the OS is only released as X64).
During August of 2014 I reported in this forum the current
version of Stunnel would not function as a service under the
above OS, even if using a delayed start, it might run but it
would not work. I reverted to using version 4.35, which did work
properly.
Pierre DeLagge was kind enough to provide me with a copy of his
patched Stunnel 5.02, which I am still using and which is working
flawlessly on my production servers. No delayed start required.
I am wondering if Pierre's 5.02 patch has been incorporated into
the most recently released Stunnel, 5.04? Has anyone been
successful in getting the most current version to actually work
under the above environment without delaying the start of the
service?
Just to add a little color and background to the story, I am
using the native WS2008R2SP1 SMTP server on each machine, in
conjunction with Stunnel, so as to forward OS event notifications
through a gmail account.

Same issue. Service shows as started, but no log. If I go manual
restart it works.
Have to put delayed startup.

Thank you for testing it.
