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.

TPM based mutual tls authentication
by Nyiri, Gabor (Nokia - HU/Budapest) 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

Hi, Can you help me how to configure stunnel client to use TPM for mutual TLS authentication? I want to connect with mTLS to a remote server then make this connection available for localhost without mTLS. Thanks for your help in advance! Here is my configuration so far without TPM: debug = debug output = /tmp/stunnel.log foreground = yes [mtls_client] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:12019 sni = server-with-mtls.example.com checkHost = server-with-mtls.example.com connect = 1.2.3.4:443 verifyChain = yes CApath = /etc/ssl/certs/ cert = client.crt key = client.key Thanks & br, Gábor Nyíri,

Config to only listen when connect port is up
by roartysa＠gmail.com 23 Dec '21

23 Dec '21

Is there a config flag that can be set in the conf file that will tell stunnel to listen on the https accept port only when the connect port is up and listening? The issue i am trying to address is when a load balancer talks to a server, I need to make sure the port that stunnel redirects to is healthy. Right now the load balancer will send traffic to the port all the time regardless of the health of the port that stunnel redirects the traffic to.

issue with connection sending cxml out

Hi, We are trying to send a cxml message from an old app using ssl_v3 to a client server using tls 1.2. We negotiate a connection and then the below happens. Any thoughts?

With stunnel, is there a way for the website to automatically revert to https by just typing in the url without https:// in front of it?
