=====================================================
If you want to encrypt the reporting traffic between Xymon client and
server, you can use stunnel (Debian package `stunnel4`).
Stunnel Configuration
---------------------
Besides the normal stunnel configuration, you need the according
tunnel entries in `/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf`.
(If you like, you can also use a different names for the connection,
e.g. `xymons` or a differnt port number, but 1983 seems the proper
"not yet 1984" port number. Of course, the port number should be the
same on client and server side.)
### Stunnel Client Side Configuration
[bbs]
accept = 127.0.0.1:1984
connect = <your-xymon-server>:1983
client = yes
### Stunnel Server Side Configuration
[bbs]
accept = 1983
connect = 1984
