Does 3.3 require stunnel for the typical encrypted nntp server setups?

Thanks. I pasted your help file below and it doesn't look too bad.
But that brings up the obvious next question to solve about stunnel.

If I already have stunnel set up for an encrypted server such as Ray's
eternal september or Steve's mixmin, would agent 3.3 still work if I set
agent to the same 127.0.0.1:ports that are defined in the stunnel conf file?

[mixmin]
client = yes
accept = localhost:12345
connect = news.mixmin.net:563
CAfile = ca-certs.pem
verifyChain = yes
checkHost = news.mixmin.net

[nntp-esep]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:54321
connect = news.eternal-september.org:563
verifyChain = yes
CAfile = ca-certs.pem
checkHost = news.eternal-september.org

If you use SSL in Agent 3.2 - 8.0, or if you want to use SSL, these days
you may need to make the following configuration change in AGENT.INI.

In the [Online] section of AGENT.INI, change the setting
'AllowedSSLProtocols' from this: AllowedSSLProtocols=0
to one of these:
* In Windows 11, and in Windows 10 version 1903 and later
AllowedSSLProtocols=10880

* In Windows before Windows 10 version 1903
AllowedSSLProtocols=2688

EXPLANATION

When Agent's SSL was implemented, the highest version of SSL in
use was TLS1.0. The AGENT.INI default setting AllowedSSLProtocols=0
will support versions of SSL up to TLS1.0.

Since then, TLS1.0 has been deprecated. Many mail servers and some news
servers have stopped using TLS1.0. Many mail servers and some news servers
now require a minimum SSL version of TLS1.2.

The setting AllowedSSLProtocols=2688 will configure Agent to support
SSL versions up to TLS1.2 (providing your Windows supports it; do not
expect it to work on Windows 95).

The setting AllowedSSLProtocols=10880 will configure Agent to support
SSL versions up to TLS1.3 in Windows 10.1903 and later.

Your version of Free Agent won't work with STunnel.
