Hmmm... Got me thinking, why must all software implement (and maintain) transport security?

The security standard changes/improves over time. With software like stunnel takes care of it, your software could be practically security wise up-to-day forever as long as you or your user keeps their stunnel updated.

That's basically the idea behind zero trust, isn't it? The idea being that you can't even knock on the TCP port if you're not authenticated

I use Caddy the same way. My web apps aren't allowed to think about TLS, they sit behind Caddy and I'm secure as long as I keep it updated
