You need to specify a server to connect to via the "-connect" option. It takes a hostname or IP address as a required argument, with an optional ":port" suffix. -connect www.example.com:443 -connect 192.0.2.1:443 -connect [::1]:443 ... You may also want "-brief" and "-verify_return_error". -- Viktor.
