by Jason Long 20 Oct '23

20 Oct '23

Hello,In an internal network, they monitor web browsing through firewalls (Fortinet and FortiGate). I have two questions: 1- Can I use Stunnel to hide my browsing? 2- Can they capture usernames and passwords for email and other websites? Thank you.

Re: stunnel smtp tls frontend server/proxy for remote backend postfix

The direction is mail sent from an external email address to stunnel (running on google cloud) for delivery to a postfix mailbox running on a local network. I posted this question on serverfault ( https://serverfault.com/questions/1145279/stunnel-smtp-tls-frontend-server-…), and someone said the problem may be either stunnel strips the ip and/or the the sender is trying to switch to TLS on postfix, not realizing the TLS connection has already been made by stunnel.

stunnel smtp tls frontend server/proxy for remote backend postfix
by james＠jamesthornton.com 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

I'm running stunnel in server mode and listening on port 587 and trying to connect to a remote postfix server running on port 25. NB: the two servers are connected via zerortier, which may or may no be relevant to the issue. DEBUG = 7 [ssmtp] protocol = smtp accept = google_cloud_internal_ip:587 connect = remote_zerotier_postfix_ip:25 cert = /etc/stunnel/domain.pem I thought this would set up stunnel to handle the TLS handshake and terminate the TLS connection, while proxing to the backend postfix server without requiring postfix to worry about TLS. But I'm getting LOG3[0]: STARTTLS expected when stunnel tries to connect to postfix. If I put stunnel in client mode, then it doesn't negotiate the incoming TLS (right?). What am I missing?

Whats the difference between Connection closed: : 2505 byte(s) sent to TLS, 59 byte(s) sent to socket and Connection closed: : 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket we can see these kind of variations in the stunnel logs. if its 0 bytes doest it mean that client didnt send any data/packet to stunnel server? Need help
