Thanks. So /lib/systemd/system/stunnel@.service is a service template file rather than service file. Here, one execution of command "stunnel" yields a working tunnel. For systemd to open the tunnel, one "instantiated service" should suffice. A tunnel has no intrinsic name analogous to tty3 in the systemd.unit(5) example. Invent a name for an instance? Create a unit file for the service instance? man 5 systemd.service helps but is at the abstract end of the documentation spectrum. Does more concrete documentation exist? OBSERVATION googling "site:wiki.debian.org stunnel" yields https://wiki.debian.org/Pan . There we read, To enable Stunnel edit /etc/default/stunnel4 ENABLED=1 /etc/default/stunnel4 exists but lacks ENABLED. My best guess is that systemd obsoleted it. Stunnel needs https://wiki.debian.org/Stunnel with current documentation. Thx, ... P. -- VoIP: +1 604 670 0140 work: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:PeterEasthope
