sclient

ssl unwrapper for Windows, Mac, and Linux

a poor man's alternative to openssl s_client, stunnel, socat for the simple use case of connecting a client application that doesn't support tls+sni through a secure connection, https proxy, or sni multiplexer (think telnet, netcat, ssh, openvpn, etc).

Usage

$ sclient [-k] <remote> <local>

Flags

• -k, --insecure ignore invalid tls certificates

Arguments

• <remote> the servername and port of the tls-enabled server (default port is 443)
• <local> the local address and port to bind to (default bind address is 127.0.0.1 or ::1)
  • - may be used to read from stdin (like netcat)
  • may be omitted when piping printf "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n" | sclient telebit.cloud

Example

$ sclient example.com:443 localhost:3000
> [listening] example.com:443 <= localhost:3000

$ telnet localhost 3000
