older browsers, stunnel and privoxy
by kovacs janos 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

sorry to bother, im trying to make older browsers be able to display TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 sites. i heard stunnel cant be configured to always forward to the current site address dynamically, thats why i would use privoxy. the browser is configured to send to: 127.0.0.1 443 stunnel config has this at the end: [Tunnel_in] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:8118 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = localhost 127.0.0.1:8118 is the privoxy address. this is what stunnel writes: LOG5[main]: Configuration successful LOG5[0]: Service [Tunnel_in] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:3261 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 127.0.0.1:8118 LOG5[0]: Service [Tunnel_in] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:3262 and the browser infinitely loads, and never loads anything or leaves the page. if i remove the last 3 lines, its the same just with this line added: LOG4[main]: Service [Tunnel_in] needs authentication to prevent MITM attacks but it doesnt give an error or anything. with a configuration like: [Tunnel_out] client = no accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:8118 cert = stunnel.pem this is what it gives: LOG5[3]: Service [Tunnel_out] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:3294 LOG3[3]: SSL_accept: 1407609B: error:1407609B:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:https proxy request LOG5[3]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket and browser gives a server not found error immediately. im not even sure if i should use client or server configuration in a case like this, but none of them works anyway. all i would need is for my browser to get the pages decrypted, or at least in less than TLS1.1. like how on newipnow.com i can access sites with any encryption, since they are sent to the browser without encryption. the browser just gives an "unencrypted tunnel" warning, which is how i found stunnel, and which is exactly what i need, just locally.

Stunnel & Gmail security
by BOXI31 TEST 17 Oct '20

17 Oct '20

Hi all, To make "Stunnel 5.31" work with Gmail, I have to go in security settings of Gmail and "allow less secure apps to access my account". Is it mandatory ? Is it possible to set Stunnel to access Gmail without lowering it security level ? How ? I checked in log file TLS v1.2 is used by Stunnel but Gmail still consider it as a "less secure app." ! Regards, Steve

sslv3 alert bad certificate
by marko 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hello all, I'm using xmas for something useful - i.e. to configure a new server. After an install of stunnel 5.50 and generating the .pem and .key files with: openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.pem -keyout /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.key -days 1825 using this settings in the stunnel.conf: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.pem key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.key options = -NO_SSLv3 sslVersion = all I got LOG5[0]: Service [imaps] accepted connection from 192.168.1.3:64233 Dec LOG3[0]: SSL_accept: 14094412: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket Just wondering: this is a self issued CA-Cert. Does the bad certificate error refer to the unsafe ssl3-standard or is it a placeholder for the certificate being self-generated as well? I'm currentlty on [.] stunnel 5.50 on amd64-portbld-freebsd12.0 platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.1.1a-freebsd 20 Nov 2018 [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,OCSP,PSK,SNI This configuration works with the same install procedure: [.] stunnel 5.49 on i386-portbld-freebsd11.2 platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2o-freebsd 27 Mar 2018 [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv4 TLS:ENGINE,OCSP,PSK,SNI Any insights into this matter are highly welcome. Cheers, and merry youknowwhat, Marko

How to configure STunnel to use cert. from certificate store
by Chicoine, Jonathan 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

How in the word you specify the certificate to use from the windows certificate store (for example, on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012)? The documentation obviously says to use the "cert" config option to specify a file (and the "key" config option for the private key) ... but to use a cert from the windows certificate store, shouldn't it be the certs "common name" field or thumbprint ... or something. Am new to this whole thing and have been googling for the answer for days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -jonathan

stunnel 5.50 on Solaris 10
by Udo Erdelhoff 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hi, quick heads-up to anybody building/using stunnel 5.50 on Solaris 10 and wondering where the "Invalid configuration file name" errors are coming from: The problem is the call to realpath in line 334 of options.c, it uses NULL as second argument as a request to have the realpath function allocate the memory buffer for the sanitized string. This variant of realpath is not supported on Solaris 10, and leads to EINVAL (error code 22). Quickest fix is to run configure and then manually change src/config.h to have /* #undef HAVE_REALPATH */ instead of #define HAVE_REALPATH 1 -- "Treason is a charge invented by winners as an excuse for hanging the losers." - Benjamin Franklin, ca. 1776
