Logging Issues Causing Crash?
by Randall LeJeune 08 Aug '16

Hello all, Has anyone experienced a full log file causing stunnel issues in the past? We tried upgrading from 4.56 to 5.17 and the upgrade seemed to go fine at first, but a day or so later we began to have some disconnects. Later we downgraded to 5.01 which worked OK at first, but then we ran into the same kinds of problems again after a few days. We eventually put the stunnel.log file on a separate filesystem, but I am curious, has anyone else experienced any issues like this? Thanks, Randy

Config was working. Now it isn't after reboot

I just reinstalled stunnel the latest version. When running I went through the creation of the pem file. I put in UK for the country code and the company name and put a . for everything else. It finished, I start the GUI and it works. I edited the config file to comment out the gmail IMAP section and reload it and it was fine. I rebooted, now it tells me tehre is an error in the config file. Why? I keep getting this problem. Rebooting seems to break the config somehow. Log shows this when stunnel starts: [ ] Cron thread initialized [ ] Running on Windows 6.1 [ ] No limit detected for the number of clients [.] stunnel 5.35 on x86-pc-msvc-1500 platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2h-fips 3 May 2016 [.] Threading:WIN32 Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI [ ] errno: (*_errno()) [ ] GUI message loop initialized [ ] Running on Windows 6.1 [.] Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf [.] UTF-8 byte order mark detected [.] FIPS mode disabled [ ] Compression disabled [ ] Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd [ ] Wrote 1024 new random bytes to C:/.rnd [ ] PRNG seeded successfully [ ] Initializing service [gmail-pop3] [ ] No certificate or private key specified [ ] SSL options: 0x03000004 (+0x03000000, -0x00000000) [ ] Initializing service [gmail-smtp] [ ] No certificate or private key specified [ ] SSL options: 0x03000004 (+0x03000000, -0x00000000) [.] Configuration successful [ ] Listening file descriptor created (FD=388) [ ] Option SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE set on accept socket [ ] Service [gmail-pop3] (FD=388) bound to 127.0.0.1:110 [ ] Listening file descriptor created (FD=392) [ ] Option SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE set on accept socket [!] bind: Permission denied (WSAEACCES) (10013) [!] Error binding service [gmail-smtp] to 127.0.0.1:25 [ ] Closing service [gmail-pop3] [ ] Service [gmail-pop3] closed (FD=388) [ ] Service [gmail-pop3] closed [ ] Closing service [gmail-smtp] [ ] Service [gmail-smtp] closed [!] Server is down [ ] Executing cron jobs [ ] Cron jobs completed in 0 seconds [ ] Waiting 86400 seconds The config file contains this: debug = debug output = stunnel.log [gmail-pop3] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:110 connect = pop.gmail.com:995 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = pop.gmail.com OCSPaia = yes [gmail-smtp] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:25 connect = smtp.gmail.com:465 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = smtp.gmail.com OCSPaia = yes I have pasted in only the stuff that isn't commented out. Why does this not work after a reboot? It makes no sense. -- =-----------------= Lee Savidge =-----------------= --

Hello stunnel-users: I'm trying to install stunnel 5.35 on a Windows 2003 box, 32-bit. The installer runs to completion, but we get an error from SimpleFC: SimpleFC::AddApplication failed to add stunnel What is causing this error to come up, and what do I have to do to fix it? Googling just showed that SimpleFC is a plugin to interact with the Windows Firewall.

Client-side SNI
by Vincent Deschenes 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Hi, Anyone know if there is anything special to do to get ServerName sent when using stunnel in client mode to be able to connect to SNI enabled server? Using latest version of stunnel and openssl. Will stunnel use the name specified in the "connect=" config ? Thanks, Regards, Vincent Deschenes Ing. PMP Director of Operations Stelvio Inc. (+1) 514-281-8570
