Re: [stunnel-users] issue with running stunnel

Hi again Dewen; It sounds to me like Stunnel isn't being accessed at all. You should be seeing something in the Stunnel log window. I run Stunnel under Windows, so what I generally do is get Stunnel to listen to the loopback interface at address 127.0.0.1, or some other address within the loopback interface range. As such, if I was attempting to access it with a utility like Netcat, my basic stunnel.conf would look something like this for the client side: debug =7 [service.name] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:12035 connect = destination.address:1230 Then, I would point Netcat to the listening address and port. In your case, that might be netcat 127.0.0.1:12035. Then see if Stunnel logs your connection attempt. Again, this is under Windows, so your mileage may vary. Let us know how it works out for you.

Hi all, I am a new guy to stunnel. here is the issue I meet, i install my stunnel in the lab. and trying to run the test with netcat. Here is the config file i test: client side: ... ... output = stunnel.log client = yes [ncat] accept = 12035 connect = ***.***.***.***:1230 then I run "stunnel test.conf "and the the log file shows configuration successfully then I run the command "cat test.file | netcat ***.***.***.*** 12035 on the client side and run netcat -l -p 1230 > output nothing happens. And I check the log file. there is no record about the netcat. I don't know what happened. -- *Dewen Kong*

Stunnel 1.45 on Win7 x64, OCSP blows up
by Michael Olson 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

I'm using stunnel in client mode on a Windows 7 x64 workstation, installed using ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/stunnel-4.52-installer.exe Everything works until I try to check the server certificate for revocation using an OCSP server, at which point stunnel crashes whenever I make a connection. The following error pops up in a dialog box: OPENSSL_Uplink(0FBE5000,14): no OPENSSL_Applink My config is pretty simple: -------------------------------------------------------------- debug = 7 # I do want FIPS enabled, but I figured one problem at a time. fips = no CAfile = ca-bundle.crt verify = 2 OCSP = http://ocsp.test.net/ options = NO_SSLv2 [test1] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:80 connect = web.test.net:443 -------------------------------------------------------------- The log gets as far as: 2012.03.02 11:07:41 LOG7[4296:5008]: OCSP: server connected when it crashes. -- Mike

Hi guys, Right now I am working on this issue trying to encrypt the communication between terminals and our back of house computer. I am trying to solve this problem with stunnel. If the terminal is 'smart' like computer, it will be no issue. implement the stunnel on both end. But it come to be a problem there is some dumb terminal, No way to set up stunnel in its side. I not sure stunnel can works here any more. if not, is there any other methods that may work? -- *Dewen Kong*

Stunnel->Stunnel Failure Behavior...
by Matt Wise 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

I'm using Stunnel in our environment to tunnel our ZooKeeper connections... it works reasonably well as long as ZooKeeper is running on our ZooKeeper servers properly. Here's an example of our server and client configs: Server: > cert = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper.pem > key = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper.key > CAfile = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper_ca.pem > verify = 2 > sslVersion = TLSv1 > setuid = stunnel4 > setgid = stunnel4 > pid = /var/lib/stunnel4/zookeeper.stunnel4.pid > socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 > socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 > TIMEOUTconnect = 2 > debug = 4 > [zookeeper] > accept = 0.0.0.0:2182 > failover = rr > connect = 127.0.0.1:2181 Client: > cert = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper.pem > key = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper.key > CAfile = /etc/stunnel/zookeeper_ca.pem > verify = 2 > sslVersion = TLSv1 > client = yes > setuid = stunnel4 > setgid = stunnel4 > pid = /var/lib/stunnel4/zookeeper.stunnel4.pid > socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 > socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 > TIMEOUTconnect = 2 > debug = 4 > [zookeeper] > accept = 127.0.0.1:2182 > failover = rr > connect = zookeeper1:2182 > connect = zookeeper2:2182 > connect = zookeeper3:2182 Now the intended behavior is that if 'zookeeper1', 'zookeeper'2, or 'zookeeper3' go down that the client will re-establish a connection with one of the other servers. However, that doesnt seem to be happening. Instead, when the connection dies, Stunnel seems to go into a massive loop trying to re-connect to the original server. > Feb 22 21:41:24 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) > Feb 22 21:41:25 staging-i-123.xxx stunnel: LOG3[10717:3073788784]: connect_blocking: getsockopt 123.123.123.123:2182: Connection refused (111) Whats missing in my config to make the failover work properly? —Matt

How to get stunnel to listen on an IPv6 interface?
by jshardlo 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Hi - my server was recently connected to IPv6 as well as the original IPv4 network. I have been using stunnel for some time on the IPv4 network but now that I have IPv6 access I can't work out how to get stunnel to listen on that interface as well. I checked that my stunnel has IPv6 support:- /usr/sbin/stunnel -version stunnel 4.15 on i686-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none I have a configuration like this: [pop3s] accept = 995 connect = 110 But when I do netstat I can see that it is only listening for port 995 on IPv4... netstat -an | grep 995 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:995 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN netstat -an -A inet6 | grep 995 And of course when I connect to port 995 over the IPv6 network I get "connection refused". Any ideas how to get stunnel to listen on the v6 address? Thanks ! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-get-stunnel-to-listen-on-an-IPv6-interface--tp… Sent from the Stunnel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Stunnel.conf won't load with certain ciphers.
by Thomas Eifert 08 Mar '12

Hello all: I'm running Stunnel 4.52 under WinXP SP3. Last night I had some questions about how the cipher list in Stunnel interacts with the cipher negotiation routine between client and server, so I did some experiments in an attempt to address those questions. In the course of doing so, I noticed that, if I attempt to load certain ciphers, Stunnel would stall at configuration load. Using OpenSSL to list TLS ciphers with 4.52's libraries yields the following: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C:\Program Files\stunnel>openssl ciphers -v -tls1 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1 EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1 DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1 DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA1 DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA1 AES128-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA1 IDEA-CBC-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=IDEA(128) Mac=SHA1 RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1 RC4-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=MD5 EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=DES(56) Mac=SHA1 EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=DES(56) Mac=SHA1 DES-CBC-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=DES(56) Mac=SHA1 EXP-EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH(512) Au=RSA Enc=DES(40) Mac=SHA1 export EXP-EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH(512) Au=DSS Enc=DES(40) Mac=SHA1 export EXP-DES-CBC-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=DES(40) Mac=SHA1 export EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC2(40) Mac=MD5 export EXP-RC4-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC4(40) Mac=MD5 export C:\Program Files\stunnel> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As such, ciphers RC4-SHA and RC4-MD5 appear to be valid.
