stunnel and hosts.allow
by Yousef Alhashemi 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi, This may be a little bit off-topic, but does anyone here use stunnel with pan? My connections to stunnel (in pan) are always refused by libwrap. I was looking for the right rule to add to /etc/hosts.allow but nothing seems to work aside from "ALL : ALL" (which is obviously not good) and "nntps: KNOWN". Is the latter reasonable? The hosts_access(5) manpage is confusing to say the least. It mentions that daemon (the first token on any line) is the name of the daemon running the process, which would be "stunnel" in my case, but using "stunnel : LOCAL" or even "stunnel : ALL" doesn't work. The rule that seems to work, as mentioned, is "nntps : KNOWN" ("nntps" being the group name in stunnel.conf). What's even more confusing to me is that "nntps : LOCAL" does not work either. Nor does "nntps : localhost 127.0.0.1", "nntps : localhost", "nntps : 127.0.0.1", or "nntps : 192.168.1.". Pan is running on the same machine as stunnel so all connections must be coming from localhost. Why do these rules not trigger? Either way, I'd like to know the "least permissive" hosts.allow rule that would allow me to connect to my news provider from pan, and/or whether "nntps : KNOWN" is a safe option. Thanks, Yousef

"Socket operation on non-socket" when trying to pass the configuration file as a file descriptor on OSX
by Guylhem 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hello I'm trying to pass the configuration file with option fd. However, I get the following errors when I do : echo my configuration | stunnel -fd 0 This is not related to echo since I get the same errors with: cat conf | stunnel -fd 0 stunnel is just filling my logs with : 2014-07-13 6:48:46.675 PM stunnel[1959]: LOG3[140735238959888]: local socket: Socket operation on non-socket (38) 2014-07-13 6:48:46.676 PM stunnel[1959]: LOG3[140735238959888]: local socket: Socket operation on non-socket (38) (...) stunnel ./conf works fine I found a reference to a bug that caused this same error message on OSX when run in inetd mode, but nothing else. Any help is appreciated I'm using stunnel 5.02 on x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0 platform with the following in -sockets: Socket option defaults: Option Name | Accept | Local | Remote |OS default ----------------+----------+----------+----------+---------- SO_DEBUG | -- | -- | -- | no SO_DONTROUTE | -- | -- | -- | no SO_KEEPALIVE | -- | -- | -- | no SO_LINGER | -- | -- | -- | 0:0 SO_OOBINLINE | -- | -- | -- | no SO_RCVBUF | -- | -- | -- | 131072 SO_SNDBUF | -- | -- | -- | 131072 SO_RCVLOWAT | -- | -- | -- | 1 SO_SNDLOWAT | -- | -- | -- | 2048 SO_RCVTIMEO | -- | -- | -- | 0:0 SO_SNDTIMEO | -- | -- | -- | 0:0 SO_REUSEADDR | yes| -- | -- | no TCP_KEEPCNT | -- | -- | -- |write-only TCP_KEEPINTVL | -- | -- | -- |write-only IP_TOS | -- | -- | -- | 0 IP_TTL | -- | -- | -- | 64 TCP_NODELAY | -- | yes| yes| no My configuration is quite simple : I just echo CAfile=/path/to/file.pem verify = 3 fips = no options = NO_SSLv2 debug = 7 [test] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:4443 connect = remoteip:443

I have already requested the CD of software from OpenSSL -- that section does not really assist with the build functions.

OpenVPN over stunnel
by Derek Cole 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hello, I am doing something similar to what is happening in this scenario: http://kyl191.net/2012/12/tunneling-openvpn-through-stunnel/ That is, I have set my openvpn client configuration to be "remote localhost port" where port is the port my stunnel client is listening on the same box as my openvpn client. This seems to work - I get connected to OpenVPN server fine, however, I don't seem to be able to ping the openvpn server by either of it's public or private ip addresses. In fact, it seems like when I do a tcpdump on the stunnel server, I don't see any incoming traffic on port 443. How is it possible that I am getting the VPN connection, but then the rest of the traffic just sort of stops going through stunnel? My stunnel client service looks like the following: [openvpn] accept = 127.0.0.1:5150 connect = stunnelserver:443 and my stunnel server looks like: [ovpnout] cert = mycert.pem accept = 443 connect = openvpn server Any ideas?

FIPS compliant Stunnel build
by Michael Curran 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello -- Is Stunnel (any version) compatible with Fips-2.0 for compliance? I have found one individuals instructions for compiling fips-2.0.5 , but he calls out a prefix= in his configure for FIPS which breaks 140-2 compliance rules and makes the build no longer viable >From the Fips-2.0 userguide "Note that as a condition of the FIPS 140-2 validation no other user specified configuration optionsmay be specified. This restriction means that an optional install prefix cannot be specified –however, there is no restriction on subsequent manual relocation of the generated files to thedesired final location." I know that Stunnel compiles just fine with OpenSSL1.0.1 versions, but there appears to have been a difference in the method of validation and installation of FIPS modules into a seperate modular directory, and is not located in the openssl/include files after build now The stunnel configure script only looks for fips-1.0 as well , so my base assumption is might not be capable of handling FIPS-2.0 at this time.

Hello, i have an existing stunnel-installation with CApath. I tried to setup a new stunnel-version, and copied all certifictes and had allwas an error like 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG7[15937:0]: Starting certificate verification: depth=1, /C=DE/emailAddress=ssladmin(a)v.de 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG4[15937:0]: CERT: Verification error: self signed certificate in certificate chain 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG4[15937:0]: Certificate check failed: depth=1, /C=DE/emailAddress=ssladmin(a)v.de 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG7[15937:0]: SSL alert (write): fatal: bad certificate 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG3[15937:0]: SSL_accept: 140890B2: error:140890B2:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:no certificate returned 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG5[15937:0]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket i had an hard time to find out that CApath is not working anymore. I put for test all certificates into a file and used CAfile and immediately the connection was established. Does somebody know why CApath is not working anymore? Tested with stunnel 5.02, 4.56, 4.55, 4.54 cheers, jordan

telnet-ssl protocol?
by Edoardo Spadolini 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

I'm disappointed by the lack of customization available in telnetd-ssl, so I wanted to add a "telnet-ssl" protocol to stunnel. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to go about doing that? Kerio

Question in using stunnel
by Sara Baghbanzadeh 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi there, I have a proxy (PHP file) which I want it to work as a server for me. I have PhantomJS as my client which loads particular url and instead of sending its requests to the main server it will send them to my proxy. I am going to send it back its responses. I have no problem when the website is based on HTTP. But, since my proxy cannot deal with SSL, I have problem with HTTPS websites. Actually, I have a database contains all the requests and responses which I captured by Fiddler. I use this database when I want to send a response to PhantomJS. Now, I cannot fill out my database since I cannot capture completely decrypted traffic using none of existing tools. Also I need to receive decrypted request from PhantomJS! Therefore, I decided to use stunnel for solving my problem. I am going to use it in order to decrypt all the requests from PhantomJS, and then, send them to my proxy, and also encrypt all my responses, before sending back to PhantomJS. I have installed latest version of stunnel on my Ubuntu machine and have generated a config file. I could not solve my problem using stunnel so far and my question is: Can stunnel solve my problem? I mean, can I use stunnel in order to decrypt PhantomJS's requests and encrypt my responses? ... If yes, could you please tell me how? Thank you so much and I am eagerly waiting to receive your response. Thanks in advance, Best regards, Sara
