tunpipe

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

by Michal Trojnara 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Version 4.13, 2005.10.21, urgency: MEDIUM: * DLLs for OpenSSL 0.9.7i included because protection faults were reported in 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a. * New features - Libwrap code is executed as a separate process (no more delays due to a global and potentially long critical section). * Bugfixes - Problem with zombies in UCONTEXT threading fixed. - Workaround for non-standard makecontext() uc_stack.ss_sp parameter semantics on SGI IRIX. - Protection fault in signals handling on IRIX fixed. - Problem finding pthread library on AIX fixed. - size_t printf() fixed in stack_info() (the previous fix didn't work). - socklen_t is used instead of int where required.

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
