If x3270 doesn't support SSL, then stunnel is your friend. stunnel will
run on your local machine, perform the necessary X.509 certificate
verifications, listen on a local port (to which the x3270 client will
connect) and tunnel the x3270 session inside a SSL session to your
server. You can then use any tn3270 client you chose, even one without
built-in SSL support.
and presumably ssh and a VPN would do as well. I personally run openvpn
which uses UDP (TCP is possible too) and, other than the open UDP port,
doesn't require any special firewall configuration.
