environment/user variable
by Sebastian Rose-Indorf 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hello, Stunnel is a very helpful tool. But I miss the support of a environment/user variable to reference the configuration file or the folder of the configuration file: such as %GNUPGHOME% in GnuPG or %OPENSSL_CONF% in OpenSSL. Sebastian

the range of stunnel functionality
by John A. Wallace 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Where can I find more information about the use and functionality of "tstunnel.exe"? Maybe I am going quite blind, but I looked around unsuccessfully. Thanks. John A. Wallace The pen is mightier than the sword, but only if you get in the first stroke.

4.56 FIPS startup issue
by Ian Donaldson 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hi, I've been using stunnel for years and tried to upgrade to 4.56 today and it fails to start with this error: Clients allowed=125 stunnel 4.56 on i386-pc-solaris2.9 platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 SSL:ENGINE,OCSP,FIPS Reading configuration from file /opt/local/etc/stunnel.conf FIPS_mode_set: F06D065: error:0F06D065:common libcrypto routines:FIPS_mode_set:fips mode not supported Line 36: "[pop3s]": Failed to initialize SSL str_stats: 5 block(s), 118 data byte(s), 210 control byte(s) I note some mention of FIPS in today's release. 4.55 started ok though with the same version of openssl (and crashed a few hours later), so we're back to 4.54 again.

stunnel craches in windows 7 x64
by Mosy Mosy 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

I have been facing with a strange bug in stunnel 4.55 (and also in tstunnel) in Windows 7 x64 and also in Windows Server 2003 R2 x86. I redirect TCP connections from a win7 client to a win2k3 server. Stunnel works fine when accepting connections and transferring data. But suddenly crashes when the client program (in the client side) closes the connection (maybe the several connections simultaneously). It happens on the server side too. Because of this problem I have to load a little program to relaunch stunnel whenever it is crashed. What I mean by 'crash' is that the windows shows the "stunnel stops working" and giving the choices to restart,stop, or debug the program. If you need more details I will be pleased to help you in this case. Thank you :) PS: I just have downloaded "stunnel-4.56b1" and I'm using it right now. I see no sign of crashing and instability until this moment :) it seems the bug is eliminated :)

Hello Everyone, I updated to the latest version of stunnel and openssl and am still getting a lot of decryption fails. stunnel: SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac and a few times it just segfaults: [937987.314573] stunnel: segfault at 7f6164025000 ip 00007f616d8b5adc sp 00007f616e6a9af0 error 4 in libcrypto.so.1.0.0[7f616d84a000+19f000] stunnel 4.54 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 Running with OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012 Is there any way to avoid these errors? I limited my cipher set to just RC4-SHA after seeing that there is an issue even in openssl 1.01e-1 for e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha1.c http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678353 Appreciate your help.
