GPL patches
by Michal Trojnara 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Dear Users, I've just uploaded some patches sent to stunnel-users list over the years to ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/contrib/. Please remember my policy is *not* to include any GPL code into the official stunnel distribution. If you're brave you're free to apply the patches yourself, or even create a fork of stunnel with some additional functionality. Just be aware there were already some security vulnerabilities (including remote code execution) discovered in the 3rd party stunnel patches. For this reason I also don't recommend stunnel package/port maintainers to include any 3rd party code with stunnel. Best regards, Mike

tunpipe
by Michal Trojnara 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Dear Users, For the last two days I was working on a VPN solution for stunnel. The early alpha version is ready for download here: ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/tunpipe/ Advantages: - based on proven strength of SSL encryption (much better than IPSec or any proprietary encryption protocol), - very clean and lightweight design, - very easy to configure. Disadvantages: - only works on GNU/Linux (can be ported to some other Unixes), - use of TCP is the main performance limitation. Aternative solutions: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/documents/vpn.html Suggestions and comments are welcome. Best regards, Mike

Stunnel Win32 binary
by Michal Trojnara 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Dear Users, Some people were asking me for a standalone stunnel.exe file. It's located in stunnel-4.12/src directory of stunnel-4.12.tar.gz archive. Winzip can handle .tar.gz format, so you'll be able to unpack it. http://www.winzip.com/wzdifs.htm BTW: I recommend to try the installer, anyway. It's designed to make the upgrade much easier. You can simply enter the path where your current stunnel.exe and stunnel.conf are located during the install. stunnel.conf and stunnel.pem files won't be replaced and your Windows will remember the path so you won't have to enter it on next upgrade. Also the latest OpenSSL DLLs are installed in stunnel directory each time. Notes: 1. Uninstall removes stunnel.conf, so don't uninstall if you're only going to upgrade stunnel. 2. Remember to stop stunnel before you uninstall/upgrade it. Best regards, Mike

Stunnel 4.06 released
by Michal Trojnara 25 Dec '04

25 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here is the ChangeLog entry: Version 4.06, 2004.12.26, urgency: LOW: * New feature sponsored by SURFnet http://www.surfnet.nl/ - IPv6 support (to be enabled with ./configure --enable-ipv6). * New features - poll() support - no more FD_SETSIZE limit! - Multiple connect=host:port options are allowed in a single service section. Remote hosts are connected using round-robin algorithm. This feature is not compatible with delayed resolver. - New 'compression' option to enable compression. To use zlib algorithm you have to enable it when building OpenSSL library. - New 'engine' option to select a hardware engine. - New 'TIMEOUTconnect' option with 10 seconds default added. - stunnel3 perl script to emulate version 3.x command line options. - French manual updated by Bernard Choppy <choppy AT free POINT fr>. - A watchdog to detect transfer() infinite loops added. - Configuration file comment character changed from '#' to ';'. '#' will still be recognized to keep compatibility. - MT-safe getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are used where available to get better performance on resolver calls. - Automake upgraded from 1.4-p4 to 1.7.9. * Bugfixes - log() changed to s_log() to avoid conflicts on some systems. - Common CRIT_INET critical section introduced instead of separate CRIT_NTOA and CRIT_RESOLVER to avoid potential problems with libwrap (TCP Wrappers) library. - CreateThread() finally replaced with _beginthread() on Win32. - make install creates $(localstatedir)/stunnel. $(localstatedir)/stunnel/dev/zero is also created on Solaris. - Race condition with client session cache fixed. - Other minor bugfixes. * Release notes - Win32 port requires Winsock2 to work. Some Win95 systems may need a free update from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/ - Default is *not* to use IPv6 '::' for accept and '::1' for connect. For example to accept pop3s on IPv6 you could use: 'accept = :::995'. I hope the new syntax is clear enough.

Hi, I tried to subscribe myself to the list; however, I never got the confirmation E-mail. I was wondering if there is a way to have NFS running on top of Stunnel. Also, I was wondering why there is so little movement in the list (and the web page) since March this year. Is there any new development? Please let me know. Best regards, E SA _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com
