Hi,

That is perfectly normal. Between the program and Stunnel all is
sent in plain text. Then Stunnel sends it to a server already
encrypted. Consider it as a road tunnel. You see the cars entering
and exiting, but not on transit. S-tunnel. Secure-Tunnel.

Unless you have a malware locally capable to sniff loopback/assigned
addresses or you are sending unencrypted to a Stunnel instance in
another machine (sent to that machine in plain text until reach the
Stunnel instance) in a vulnerable network, that shouldn't worry you.

Regards.
