Log File Not Appending
by K Monz 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hi, I am a new STUNNEL user, so I apologize if this is a ridiculously simple and insignificant problem. I have STUNNEL running in a Windows 7 (32 bit) environment, and have the following in stunnel.conf: output = C:\STUNNEL\stunnel.log log = append The log file is placed where I've asked, but the contents represent only the most current STUNNEL execution. I am trying to have a running log in this file. STUNNEL is, of course, doing what it is supposed to do, it is only the logging that has me puzzled. Thanks, in advance.

Error on Windows 2008r2
by Chris 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Just downloaded and installed the latest windows version. When trying to run stunnel I get the following error: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect..... When I check the application event view logs I see "Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\bin\stunnel.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis." It seems I might be missing a pre-req but I can't not determine what that is. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris

Support for DTLS
by Kanungo, Rajesh 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Hi, I am looking for support for a DTLS proxy. Does Stunnel support DTLS and, if yes, how do I configure it? Here is the scenario: 1. Remote Server supports DTLS. 2. My client does not support DTLS (yet). Support all our platforms is a pretty arduous task. Possible solutions: 1. Ask customer to use Stunnel, drop DTLS and use plain UDP, and use Stunnel/TCP. Other clients support only DTLS so this does not work. 2. Use VPN. Requires customer configuration. Less painful than 1. 3. Use a UDP-DTLS proxy.

Missing pid from log file since ~5.19
by Philippe Anctil 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Hi, After upgrading to stunnel 5.19 I noticed the log file no long reports the pid of stunnel processes. Instead I find the constant string [0]. Sep 14 12:15:30 hostname stunnel: LOG6[0]: SSL closed (SSL_read) This information is very useful to isolate individual connections. Do later stunnel versions report the pid correctly? I am using fork mode. My syslog is defined as local6.debug and stunnel.conf contains debug=local6.info. Thank you. -- Philippe Anctil

How to install CA at client side?
by MingHeng Wang 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Hello Stunnel maintainers, I try to use real certificates of my web server for stunnel. I combine private key, my site's cert, and ca-bundle into a pem file, and it works fine when the client doesn't verify any certificate. Then I specify CAfile which is the ca bundle file from my registrar, at client side and turn on verification and always get errors below, whatever level 2 or 3: Sep 15 14:53:28 y400 stunnel[11666]: LOG5[11]: Service [http-proxy3] connected remote server from 192.168.1.104:45746 Sep 15 14:53:28 y400 stunnel[11666]: LOG4[11]: CERT: Pre-verification error: unable to get issuer certificate Sep 15 14:53:28 y400 stunnel[11666]: LOG4[11]: Rejected by CERT at depth=2: However, level 4 works. I want to prevent man-in-middle-attack, so can level 4 achieve that regarding to my current setup? Both server and client side use stunnel 5.17 which are fairly recent.

net::ERR_TIMED_OUT error when connecting to a websocket via stunnel
by Mike Alhayek 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Hi, I hope someone can help me here as I have been stuck for the past 3 days. I need to allow a client to connect to a websocket running on server 10.0.4.160 on port 8080. I need to setup a secure tunnel to allow the client to connect to the websocket via port 58443. I installed the latest version of stunnel on my windows Server 2008 R2. Then I changed my stunnel.conf file to look like this [websockets] client = yes accept = 58443 connect = 8080 verify = 2 checkIP = 10.0.4.195 CAfile = ca-certs.pem debug = 7 OCSPaia = yes ##The rest have been removed I am expecting to open a connection from the user's console on port 58443 and the stunnel will allow the client to connect to port 8080 This is the code that I use in the client's console "Of course, the console is on a PC that is on my internal network" var conn = new WebSocket('wss://10.0.4.160:58443'); conn.onopen = function(e) { console.log("Connection established!"); }; conn.onmessage = function(e) { console.log(e.data); }; While on the server, I open up a command line and I execute this telnet localhost 8080 to open up a command line where I can see the incoming request. As soon as I fire the code above from a client javascript's console I see this in the server's command line [cid:[email protected]] But few seconds later I get this error in the client's console WebSocket connection to 'wss://10.0.4.160:58443/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_TIMED_OUT If I try to send a command using conn.sent('Hello') I get this error VM289:2 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'send' on 'WebSocket': Still in CONNECTING state. at Error (native) at <anonymous>:2:6 at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (<anonymous>:905:140) at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (<anonymous>:838:34) at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:694:21) Additionally, I tried to turn on debugging in strunnel by adding debug = 7 to the config file This is what I got in the stunnel console.

Accept connection from sub-net?
by v v 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hi, Is it possible to configure stunnel server to accept connection from any IP in some subnet. For example, 111.22.33.xx. The proxy I connect through every time uses the different IP (from some IP pool) to connect to stunnel server. I don't want to add to the config file 255 possible host addresses. I don't see any suitable option in the stunnel documentation. Do I miss something? Any idea it could be done? Thanks, vov

"Chained" stunnel instances
by Michael Gebis 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

Hello. I have a question about a strange stunnel configuration; specifically, I'm like to use 'chained' stunnel instances, and I'm running into an issue. We have a conceptually simple setup: a client that connects to a server. We use stunnel both for encryption and for the failover mechanism. Here's a diagram of our simplest setup: /----S1 / C--st0-----S2 \ \----S3 We have a client that connects to stunnel. Our stunnel configuration lists three connections with "prio" failover mode. So usually, connections go from C thru st and onto Server 1. If S1 is down, st0 fails to connect to S1 and instead tries S2, and all is good. However, sometimes we may place an optional second instance of stunnel in front of the servers. /----st1--S1 / C--st0-----st2--S2 \ \----st3--S3 The failover mode of stunnel does not work so well in this configuration. If S1 is down, st0's failover algorithm does not kick in. Instead, st0 happily connects to st1, which is still alive and running. st1 then detects S1 is down and immediately closes the connection, but st0 does not care. Since the initial connection was successful, it does not initiate the failover algorithm. You may ask "why not change to round-robin mode?" The answer is that S1 is a dedicated machine, and S2/S3 are underpowered backups that have other primary responsibilities. We really want to direct all connections to S1 and only use S2/S3 in emergencies. You may also ask, "Why the second layer of stunnel?"--unfortunately, there are several hairy implementation-specific details that make this hard to change. My question is: is there any stunnel configuration option that can help us out? We would like the failover to work with and without the second layer of stunnel. From looking at the source code, I think I'm out of luck, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks! Michael

stunnel 5.22 released
by Michal Trojnara 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, I have released version 5.22 of stunnel.

Questions between stunnel 4.56 and 5.21 (current version)
by Guy.Gaudreau.TCR06＠ssss.gouv.qc.ca 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

Will a 4.56 installation be able to establish a tunnel to a 5.21 version. Will a 5.21 installation be able to establsih a tunnel to a 4.56 version What happends If I have a server that is currently running a 4.56 version and we install the 5.21 version on the same server. Will both versions co-exist on the same server peacefully or will the install process uninstall the 4.56 version. in that last scenario will the tunnels already configured under versio 4.56 work under the 5.21 install? Thank you Guy Gaudreau

stunnel 5.21 released

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, I have released version 5.21 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 5.21, 2015.07.27, urgency: MEDIUM * New features - Signal names are displayed instead of numbers. - First resolve IPv4 addresses on passive resolver requests. This speeds up stunnel startup on Win32 with a slow/defunct DNS service. - The "make check" target was modified to only build Win32 executables when stunnel is built from a git repository (thx to Peter Pentchev). - More elaborate descriptions were added to the warning about using "verify = 2" without "checkHost" or "checkIP". - Performance optimization was performed on the debug code. * Bugfixes - Fixed the FORK and UCONTEXT threading support. - Fixed "failover=prio" (broken since stunnel 5.15). - Added a retry when sleep(3) was interrupted by a signal in the cron thread scheduler.

Question about behavior with "failover = prio"
by Michael Gebis 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hello again. We recently noticed a behavior in stunnel that surprised us, and seems to be inconsistent with the man page description. We use "failover = prio" in our configuration file. To refresh everyone's memory, the man page describes this option here: failover = rr | prio Failover strategy for multiple "connect" targets. rr (round robin) - fair load distribution prio (priority) - use the order specified in config file default: rr Our config file contains a list of connect targets, like this: [...] connect = h1.example.com connect = h2.example.com connect = h3.example.com connect = h4.example.com [...] Based on the description, we expect the connection to try h1 first, and if h1 fails, failover through the remainder of the list, in-order. However, what we observe is that the connections start at a seemingly random place in the list. It does appear to proceed in-order...it's just the starting place that seems incorrect. For example, we might get a sequence that proceeds "h3->h4->h1->h2". Please let me know if I am misunderstanding the intended behavior of the 'prio' failover strategy. Here is a trial patch that hard-codes the starting place for the failover to the beginning of the list. I am not sure if this change has any unintended consequences for other configurations. But as a proof-of-concept, it does seem to fix the behavior to be consistent with our reading of the man page. This patch is against 5.20 but it appears that 5.21b2 acts the same way. Thanks!

stunnel 5.20 issue using "--with-threads=ucontext"

Hello. We recently upgraded from stunnel 5.10 to 5.20. We compile using "--with-threads=ucontext" and with this flag, compilation of 5.20 fails in two places.

keyfile is not encrypted
by Madhava Gaikwad (madgaikw) 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hello, I am asking too much, but keyfile with stunnel is required to be stored on disk (I am aware about file permission applied) and is in plain text. Is there any way we can encrypt the keyfile and then store, and then subsequently ask stunnel to obtain the decryption key somehow and then use it. For encryption/decryption of the key, stunnel (or some other program) can give network based ability(service over socket) to provide the key so key can be encrypted by the third party(who generates the config for stunnel). Stunnel config option will specify key is encrypted and therefore stunnel knows why and how to decrypt it. Of course you will ask me to implement my own custom algo for this, but I am checking if anybody has thought about it or in such case, how they have worked on it. I was told, there is also basic level of FIPS compliance requirement that requires key not to be stored on disk in plain text irrespective of file permission. Thank you. Madhava

help on options and sslversion
by Madhava Gaikwad (madgaikw) 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hi, I am using stunnel 5.03 version. I want to understand how the config option "sslVersion " and "options " works. The problem I am trying to solve is: I want to enable say only particular ssl connect methods, for example sslv3 and TLs1.2. I am not able to do it. For me if I do below setting: Options = all Option = NO_SSLv2 Option = NO_SSLv3 Option = NO_TLSv1 Option = NO_TLSv1.1 Option = NO_TLSv1.2 Still I see all methods are being enabled. I removed Option = all, but no effect. What is expected behavior? Also, The sslVersion seems enables either particular sslversion, or else all the versions. So wondering what can be the escape mechanism. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Madhava

problem with buffering data on stunnel
by wujot 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

I have a problem with transmission from LAN server, which use another server on LAN with running stunnel, to pass encrypted data to remote SSL clients if they are on very slow GPRS network. If server in LAN starts to transfer big amount of data to such slow remote client, stunnel is buffering data and slowly transmits them to the GPRS client. TCP Window on connection from LAN server to stunnel is big (64 - 131kB), and TCP Window on connection from stunnel to slow client is small (about 5kB). And additionally stunnel is buffering data. So, server is finishing transmission in seconds, but in fact most of data are still in buffers of stunnel. And it makes a timeout problem (server is waiting for the confirmation from client if it received all data, but time between last byte sent from server and confirmation from client could be even several minutes). So, stunnel is working in "store and forward" model. Is it possible to switch it to something like "cut through"? Or how to force stunnel to more synchronized transmission between client and server? Regards, Adalbert

password protected key in client certificate
by Giona Il Profeta 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi all, I have inherited an old stunnel installation, configured for mutual authentication (verify=3) and I'm trying to figure out some of the choices of the old sysadmin. One of the client certificates in the CApath directory has its private key encrypted with a password. Is the client supposed to provide the password to decrypt the key when it connects? Thank you G

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel 5.18 may keep high CPU usage
by Dod 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hello Michal, Same problem with 5.19b4 and nothing special in the logs. Now I know how to reproduce the problem instantly, I just have to put my computer in StanBy mode and Awake it. Using Process Explorer from Sysinternals I see that stunnel produce a permanent "Other I/O" flow when problem appear. I/O Other : "The rate at which the process is issuing bytes to I/O operations that do not involve data such as control operations. This counter counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network and device I/Os." OtherI/O is confirmed by Process Monitor that trace no File nor Registry nor Network activity. But as stunnel still respond correctly to a Quit menu or any other menus and SSL requests I assumed that it may be some Thread going crazy so I compared running thread between normal stunnel behavior with the 25% CPU behavior and found that in fact there is a thread that do no terminate correctly. Here is the Thread's stack : MSVCR90.dll!_endThread+0x7d ntoskrnl.exe!memset+0x61a ntoskrnl.exe!KeWaitForMultipleObjects+0xd52 ntoskrnl.exe!KeWaitForSingleObject+0x19f ntoskrnl.exe!PoStartNextPowerIrp+0xba4 ntoskrnl.exe!PoStartNextPowerIrp+0x1821 ntoskrnl.exe!PoStartNextPowerIrp+0x1a97 ntoskrnl.exe!KeReleaseInStackQueuedSpinLock+0x5a afd.sys+0x61c1c afd.sys+0x51d3b ntoskrnl.exe!NtMapViewOfSection+0x15b7 ntoskrnl.exe!NtDeviceIoControlFile+0x56 ntoskrnl.exe!KeSynchronizeExecution+0x3a23 wow64cpu.dll!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0x6c0 wow64cpu.dll!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0x1fb wow64.dll!Wow64SystemServiceEx+0x1ce wow64.dll!Wow64LdrpInitialize+0x42a ntdll.dll!RtlIsDosDeviceName_U+0x1f5c4 ntdll.dll!LdrInitializeThunk+0xe ntdll.dll!NtDeviceIoControlFile+0x15 WS2_32.dll!select+0x9f stunnel.exe!OPENSSL_Applink+0xd3ec stunnel.exe!OPENSSL_Applink+0x961 Hope it help... regards.

Generate CONNECT
by reiner otto 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

I have following problem: I want to avoid the user to explicitly specify a https-proxy in his browser. Let me explain: For http, a transparent proxy can be interfaced via iptables DNAT, for example.Same for https will not work, without certificates installed etc.However, I only want some basic info about the https-session, like traffic volume or destination domain. In case, there is an explicit https-proxy defined in the browser, I can get this info from the connect request, preceding the secure data exchange.But I want to avoid this explicit declararion. Most likely I will need some custom programming for this, but may be there is a specialist here to give some direction.

Default Ciphers
by Clayton Keller 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Looking at the Changelog I see the following from the 5.15 info: "MEDIUM ciphers (currently SEED and RC4) are removed from the default cipher list." And this from the 5.00 info: "Default "ciphers" updated to "HIGH:MEDIUM:+3DES:+DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2" due to AlFBPPS attack and bad performance of DH ciphersuites." Given these to comments would it be accurate to say that the current default "ciphers" value is: "HIGH:+3DES:+DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2" Also, some of the docs indicate what the default value currently is. Is there an easier way to determine that value via CLI or other means? Thanks Clay

stunnel 5.18 may keep high CPU usage
by Dod 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, I use sTunnel for years and ujpdated from 5.17 to 5.18 on my Win7 64bits. I use sTunnel for POP-SSL and SMTP-SSL for 12 accounts (gmail, yahoo ...) but I noticed that after a few connexions sTunnel may keep high CPU, 25% as reported by TaskManager (50% on core 1 and 3 on my Core-i5 quad-core). The problem, may appear after 10 cnx sometime more. The reading order the POP-S accounts that are checked do not matter. The POP accounts are never high loaded I mean I do not receive tons of e-mails and they are not oversized. Sometime the 25% CPU usage disappear by its own, sometime it can stay forever. Never noticed such problem on previous versions. Standard logs show nothing special. regards.

Stunnel 5.17 builds, 5.18 does not - AIX 6.1 - pod2man does not accept "-v"
by Rob Lockhart 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Michal, I was able to build Stunnel 5.17 on AIX 6.1 using the "build" command, after completely removing the entire section for "-fstack-protector" in "configure" (my "stunnel-5.17.patch" file below). I used the following commands: mkdir $HOME/stunnel-bin-5.17 gzip -dc stunnel-5.17.tar.gz | tar xvf - patch -p0 <stunnel-5.17.patch cd stunnel-5.17 chmod 755 configure; ./configure --prefix=$HOME/stunnel-bin-5.17 make; make install However, for 5.18, those same commands (and patch file) no longer result in a successful compile due to AIX 6.1 not accepting the "-u" (Unicode) for pod2man. I looked into 5.17 and it looks like the same Makefiles are used in both (doc/Makefile.in and doc/Makefile.am) so perhaps the top-level Makefile for 5.18 adds the ".pod.8" file to the build process. Removing the "-u" in both files enables the build to complete. I just tested against Stunnel 5.19 but it looks like the step that ran "pod2html" was skipped by default (i.e., just "make") so I am able to compile stunnel correctly. Thanks for fixing this in Stunnel 5.19! For those that need the .pod.8 man pages on AIX 6.1, you'll need to remove the "-u" in the pod2man command. Regards, -Rob

Here are the logs from stunnel: 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client certificate A 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read certificate verify A 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 4 server accept(s) requested 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 4 server accept(s) succeeded 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 0 server renegotiation(s) requested 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 0 session reuse(s) 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 3 internal session cache item(s) 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 0 internal session cache fill-up(s) 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 0 internal session cache miss(es) 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 0 external session cache hit(s) 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: 0 expired session(s) retrieved 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG6[3]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG6[3]: Negotiated TLSv1 ciphersuite ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256-bit encryption) 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: Compression: null, expansion: null 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG6[3]: Failover strategy: round-robin 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG6[3]: s_connect: connecting 127.0.0.1:46432 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 127.0.0.1:46432: waiting 10 seconds 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG5[3]: s_connect: connected 127.0.0.1:46432 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG5[3]: Service [pgbouncer-client] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:54633 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: Remote socket (FD=9) initialized 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG6[3]: Read socket closed (read hangup) 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: Sending close_notify alert 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: SSL alert (write): warning: close notify 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG6[3]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify alert 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG3[3]: INTERNAL ERROR: s_poll_wait returned 1, but no descriptor is ready 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG5[3]: Connection reset: 58 byte(s) sent to SSL, 164 byte(s) sent to socket 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: Remote socket (FD=9) closed 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: Local socket (FD=8) closed 2015.06.09 16:56:13 LOG7[3]: Service [pgbouncer-client] finished (0 left) In pgbouncer, I get the following error: Pooler Error: bad packet header: '70' And in JDBC, the following exception: GRAVE: ERROR: bad packet header: '70' org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: bad packet header: '70' Where might be the problem ? Does the stunnel parameter protocol=pgsql work with JDBC ? Thank you

How to tell what Ciphers are supported?
by Del Benjamin 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

I am using the pre-compiled windows binary version of stunnel in client mode, how do I tell on that version what cipher versions I can use? Essentially the equivalent of this command in openssl *openssl* *ciphers* [*-s*] [*-v*] [*-V*] [*-ssl3*] [*-tls1*] [*-stdname*] [ *cipherlist*]

Rework "Honor --sysconfdir and --localstatedir in stunnel.conf-sample.in"
by Dagobert Michelsen 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Hi, I took the liberty of reworking the patch presented in http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2010-July/002711.html to fix the issues raised in http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2010-August/002719.html The main reason why the substitution didn't work is because it should not be done during configure-time but inside the Makefile as described in the Autoconf manual http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/htm… The patch is attached to this email or you can browse the patch at https://github.com/dago/stunnel/compare/master...sysconfdir The patch is against 5.18b3 (is there a public repo available to make patches?) It would be great if the change could be applied. Best regards -- Dago

Incompatibility - Content-length parsing
by Marcin Gryszkalis 25 May '15

25 May '15

Hi, I noticed that parsing of HTTP header fields is not robust enough and not RFC compliant - and that way it casues incompatibility with Microsoft TMG proxy with NTLM authentication. The symptom is "Proxy-Authenticate: Invalid Content-Length" message while the header received is "Content-Length: 0 " <- note trailing spaces. The responsible piece of code is in protocol.c: if(tmpstr==line+16 || *tmpstr || content_length<0) { (tmpstr contains trailing spaces in this case). According to RFC 7230 trailing space is allowed and should be discarded by parser: A field value might be preceded and/or followed by optional whitespace (OWS); a single SP preceding the field-value is preferred for consistent readability by humans. The field value does not include any leading or trailing whitespace: OWS occurring before the first non-whitespace octet of the field value or after the last non-whitespace octet of the field value ought to be excluded by parsers when extracting the field value from a header field. best regards -- Marcin Gryszkalis, PGP 0xA5DBEEC7 jabber jid:[email protected]

Hi, I'm new to stunnel and I'd like to compile it to ARM and x86 platforms. I downloaded the stunnel-5.17 package and I'm using the build-android.sh and android-ndk-r10e script to compile it: ../../configure --with-sysroot=/home/ptofanelli/android-ndk-r10e/platforms/android-18/arch-arm/ --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux-androideabi --prefix=/data/local I'm getting the message "The C compiler cannot create executables" and checking the logs I've found that the problem is this: configure:3538: arm-linux-androideabi-gcc conftest.c >&5 /home/ptofanelli/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: cannot open crtbegin_dynamic.o: No such file or directory /home/ptofanelli/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: cannot open crtend_android.o: No such file or directory /home/ptofanelli/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lc /home/ptofanelli/android-ndk-r10e/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: cannot find -ldl collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I searched for this problem and a topic in stackoverflow ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16795583/android-error-cannot-open-crtbe…) is said that the problem is the sysroot, so I tried to use the option --with-sysroot, but I'm getting the same problem.

Stunnel not working with Office 365
by Hannu Viitala 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hi, We cannot get stunnel SMTP to work with Office 365 mail server. We are using Stunnel 5.13 and below are the config file content and the the client PC logs. The mail server logs do not reveal anything more. Two observations of the test setup: 1) Using e.g. Mozilla Firebird mail client directly SLL/SMTP on the same PC connection to same Office 365 mail server works ok, but via Stunnel it outputs the error log below. 2) Also, on the same PC, SSL/SMTP connection via stunnel to Gmail server works ok.

Stunnel4 not working?
by David H. Durgee 13 May '15

13 May '15

Given a lack of other suggestions here and elsewhere that yielded any progress, I decided to download the current source and attempt to build it on my system. I didn't see a routine to check for prerequisites being met, so I wound up running ./configure several times and adding the libssl-dev, libwrap0-dev and libsystemd-daemon-dev packages based on what I saw in the output. Perhaps a check routine could be added later? I then ran make and the output contains neither errors nor warnings, so that looks good. As suggested in the INSTALL file, I next ran make check and received neither errors nor warnings. At this point the next step appears to be make install as root, but I am wondering if I should uninstall the stunnel4 package from the repository first. I am also wondering if I can simply use the existing /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf that I included in my first post in this thread or if I should start over with one of the examples included with this version. I would appreciate input from the list on this. If you want to see further details, such as ./configure or make outputs or configuration files just let me know and I will put them in a follow-up post. Dave

Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel 5.17 on AIX

Thanks! I applied the patch to tls.c and I'm able to create sessions with no problem. The version of OpenSSL provided by IBM is built off the 1.0.1e codebase, with backported security fixes via "iFixes" for announced CVEs. They apparently don't backport new functionality or maybe even non-CVE bugfixes. I'm guessing an un-patched stunnel 5.17 would work once/if they release OpenSSL built off 1.0.1j or later. > On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 3:40 PM, Michal Trojnara <Michal.Trojnara(a)mirt.net > > wrote: > >> On 12.05.2015 18:29, Eckert, Doug wrote: >> > With that in mind, I compiled stunnel v5.03 with same OpenSSL 1.0.1.513 >> > and iFix IV71446m9a applied as with the v5.17 attempt.

I know that server is working, as I have seen other incoming traffic handled by it. I suspect the problem is related to the message you pointed out that I missed about SSL libraries. I would very much appreciate a pointer to a more current package in a repository. Thanks for your response, Rob. Dave

Stunnel 5.17 build on AIX - libssp missing
by Rob Lockhart 09 May '15

09 May '15

I have AIX 6.1 (64-bit) with GCC 4.2.0. It has an older version of OpenSSL (0.9.8) installed from IBM but I'm trying to compile Stunnel 5.17 with OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips as non-root. I proceed as follows: cd ~; [ -d openssl ] && rm -rf openssl; mkdir openssl cd ~/OpenSSL; [ -d openssl-fips-2.0.9 ] && rm -rf openssl-fips-2.0.9 gzip -dc openssl-fips-2.0.9.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd openssl-fips-2.0.9; chmod 755 Configure ./Configure aix64-gcc --openssldir=$HOME/openssl make make install NOTE: the above is just the FIPS canister (library), not the executable. cd ~/OpenSSL; [ -d openssl-1.0.2a ] && rm -rf openssl-1.0.2a gzip -dc openssl-1.0.2a.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd openssl-1.0.2a; chmod 755 Configure ./Configure aix64-gcc fips shared --openssldir=$HOME/openssl --with-fipsdir=$HOME/openssl make depend make make test make install cd ~/openssl/bin; ./openssl version; ./openssl speed NOTE: Look for "ALL OCSP TESTS SUCCESSFUL" after "make test" to verify the test build was successful, and it was. NOTE: "./openssl version" should show "OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips 19 Mar 2015" NOTE: "./openssl speed" should take a while as it's measuring the speed for all algorithms Final test of OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips: ./openssl sha1 -hmac etaonrishdlcupfm ~/OpenSSL/openssl-fips-2.0.9.tar.gz - should return: 54552e9a3ed8d1561341e8945fcdec55af961322 Now, I try to compile Stunnel: rm -rf $HOME/stunnel-bin; mkdir $HOME/stunnel-bin cd ~/Stunnel; [ -f stunnel-5.17 ] && rm -rf stunnel-5.17 gzip -dc stunnel-5.17.tar.gz | tar xvf - ; cd stunnel-5.17 ./configure --enable-fips --prefix=$HOME/stunnel-bin --with-ssl=$HOME/openssl make I get a failure at make for a library not found: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wall -Wextra -Wformat=2 -Wconversion -Wno-long-long -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fstack-protector -fPIE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib64 -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -o stunnel stunnel-tls.o stunnel-str.o stunnel-file.o stunnel-client.o stunnel-log.o stunnel-options.o stunnel-protocol.o stunnel-network.o stunnel-resolver.o stunnel-ssl.o stunnel-ctx.o stunnel-verify.o stunnel-sthreads.o stunnel-fd.o stunnel-stunnel.o stunnel-pty.o stunnel-libwrap.o stunnel-ui_unix.o -lpthreads libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wall -Wextra -Wformat=2 -Wconversion -Wno-long-long -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fstack-protector -fPIE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -o stunnel stunnel-tls.o stunnel-str.o stunnel-file.o stunnel-client.o stunnel-log.o stunnel-options.o stunnel-protocol.o stunnel-network.o stunnel-resolver.o stunnel-ssl.o stunnel-ctx.o stunnel-verify.o stunnel-sthreads.o stunnel-fd.o stunnel-stunnel.o stunnel-pty.o stunnel-libwrap.o stunnel-ui_unix.o -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib64 -L/home/lockharr/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lpthreads collect2: library libssp_nonshared not found The interesting part is that doing a "grep -R libssp" of the source tree only shows one reference to libssp: $ grep -R libssp * stunnel-5.17/tools/stunnel.nsi: # MINGW builds requires libssp-0.dll instead of msvcr90.dll Googling showed some really old links that had libssp skipped for GCC on AIX: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-09/msg01231.html and another that added it back in: http://marc.info/?l=gcc-patches&m=130168534803966 Can anyone who has compiled this for AIX give me a clue about what's going on? This looks like a reference to a non-existent library but I would think that if GCC needed that, it wouldn't allow the RPM for GCC to be installed. Thanks, -Rob

Stunnel4 not working?

At some point in the near past stunnel stopped working on my laptop. The laptop is running Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca x64 and stunnel from the repositories. I enabled debug=7, but I am not getting much from the log: 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Clients allowed=500 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG5[10804:140318864611136]: stunnel 4.53 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG5[10804:140318864611136]: Compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG5[10804:140318864611136]: Running with OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG5[10804:140318864611136]: Update OpenSSL shared libraries or rebuild stunnel 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG5[10804:140318864611136]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:+ENGINE+OCSP Auth:LIBWRAP Sockets:POLL+IPv6 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG5[10804:140318864611136]: Reading configuration from file /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Compression not enabled 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: PRNG seeded successfully 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG6[10804:140318864611136]: Initializing service section [telnets] 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG4[10804:140318864611136]: Insecure file permissions on /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Certificate: /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Certificate loaded 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Key file: /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Private key loaded 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: SSL options set: 0x00000004 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG6[10804:140318864611136]: Initializing service section [dsp3270s] 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG4[10804:140318864611136]: Insecure file permissions on /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Certificate: /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Certificate loaded 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Key file: /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Private key loaded 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: SSL options set: 0x00000004 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG5[10804:140318864611136]: Configuration successful 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Service [telnets] (FD=12) bound to 0.0.0.0:3141 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10804:140318864611136]: Service [dsp3270s] (FD=13) bound to 0.0.0.0:7490 2015.05.08 17:12:06 LOG7[10810:140318864611136]: Created pid file /stunnel4.pid 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG7[10810:140318864611136]: Service [telnets] accepted (FD=3) from 127.0.0.1:40090 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Service [telnets] started 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Waiting for a libwrap process 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Acquired libwrap process #0 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG3[10810:140318864770816]: Unexpected socket close (read_blocking) 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG5[10810:140318864770816]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Local socket (FD=3) closed 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Service [telnets] finished (0 left) 2015.05.08 17:12:31 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: str_stats: 1 block(s), 32 data byte(s), 58 control byte(s) 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG7[10810:140318864611136]: Service [dsp3270s] accepted (FD=3) from 127.0.0.1:48534 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Service [dsp3270s] started 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Waiting for a libwrap process 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Acquired libwrap process #1 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG3[10810:140318864770816]: Unexpected socket close (read_blocking) 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG5[10810:140318864770816]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Local socket (FD=3) closed 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: Service [dsp3270s] finished (0 left) 2015.05.08 17:13:32 LOG7[10810:140318864770816]: str_stats: 1 block(s), 32 data byte(s), 58 control byte(s) I don't even see the IP address for the outbound connection, so it seems as if it is hitting a problem even before it gets that far.

problem migrating from 4.54 to 5.x
by Scott Weisman 04 May '15

04 May '15

Hi there. I have a program I have used successfully with Stunnel for many years. A while back, I discovered that my program, which is a pure stdio console program, stopped working with 5.x versions of Stunnel. I have spent many hours but have been unable to solve the problem, so I regretfully continue to use the 4.x branch. I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences? Relevant data is pasted below. I comment in the log output where the problem occurs. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. stunnel.conf: setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 foreground = no debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log [CF2] client = no accept = 21 verify = 3 sslVersion = all cert = /etc/stunnel/demo.pem key = /etc/stunnel/demo.pem CApath = /etc/stunnel/certs CRLpath = /etc/stunnel/crls TIMEOUTbusy = 60 TIMEOUTclose = 0 TIMEOUTconnect = 60 TIMEOUTidle = 60 exec = /opt/cmf/bin/cf-server execargs = /opt/cmf/bin/cf-server -p /opt/jail/stunnel/pipes/ Log of successful session with 4.54: 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: Starting certificate verification: depth=0, /C=US/L=Bryan/ST=TX/O=Demo Account/emailAddress= demo(a)demo.com/CN=demo 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: CERT: Locally installed certificate matched 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG5[3080:140402563495680]: Certificate accepted: depth=0, /C=US/L=Bryan/ST=TX/O=Demo Account/emailAddress= demo(a)demo.com/CN=demo 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client certificate A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read certificate verify A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write session ticket A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 items in the session cache 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 client connects (SSL_connect()) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 client connects that finished 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 client renegotiations requested 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 1 server connects (SSL_accept()) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 1 server connects that finished 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 server renegotiations requested 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 session cache hits 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 external session cache hits 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 session cache misses 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: 0 session cache timeouts 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: Negotiated TLSv1/SSLv3 ciphersuite: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256-bit encryption) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: Compression: null, expansion: null 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG6[3080:140402563495680]: Local mode child started (PID=3118) 2015.05.01 15:39:39 LOG7[3080:140402563495680]: Remote socket (FD=11) initialized *** the connection is established and stable;

Hi, Well I got it started on VMS and wanted to put it in debug mode, so I shut it down made my changes to the conf file and now well I can't start it with the command procedure. I even tried the old conf and same thing... $ @STUNNEL_STARTUP_SERVER Is the private key (in the PEM file) encrypted?

Fwd: Comments/questions to Debian patches
by Michal Trojnara 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, Peter Pentchev, the Debian package maintainer for the "stunnel4" package, does not reply to my emails. I hope he is still alive and well, just too busy to maintain the package. I decided to share with you my comments to the patches that are applied to the Debian package. Hopefully, someone will find them useful. Mike - -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Comments/questions to Debian patches Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 21:13:25 +0100 From: Michal Trojnara <Michal.Trojnara(a)mirt.net> To: Peter Pentchev <roam(a)ringlet.net> Hi Peter, Just a few comments/questions to improve the quality of Debian package. I'll be glad to discuss if you disagree with my opinions. 01-fix-paths.patch The patch description is quite outdated. Translation from sbin to bin was performed upstream in stunnel 4.21 released 27 Oct 2007. 8-) I guess: /usr/bin/stunnel -fd 10 \ should be: /usr/bin/stunnel4 -fd 10 \ Probably this should be added to the next patch: 02-rename-binary.patch 05-logrotate-warning-in-sample-conf.patch Good idea. I'll add it to stunnel 5.07. 08-client-example.patch I've already added this example in stunnel 5.02. Your patch adds it once again. Just remove it. 10-no-zlib-compression.patch I'm completely confused by this patch. According to my tests it only makes stunnel reporting different errors when a user tries to enable compression on Debian. Why would anyone need this patch? 11-no-rle-compression.patch IMHO OpenSSL bugs should be fixed in OpenSSL, and not in stunnel. YMMV 12-restore-pidfile-default.patch I strongly disagree with this approach, as it breaks configuration file compatibility with the upstream. Debian should instead rewrite stunnel.conf when upgrading from stunnel 4.xx. 14-lsb-init-functions.patch 8-) 15-upstream-systemd-libs.patch This (and more) will be included in stunnel 5.07. 16-upstream-sslv23-method.patch This will be included in stunnel 5.07.

Redis with stunnel, need to reset a client connection if the remote server drops
by Cocytus 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hello all, I've spent some time digging through the archives, but have yet to turn up a solution to the issue I'm having. We're using Redis instances on 'cloud' resources, and have successfully gotten stunnel setup as a server on these nodes. Additionally an internal process runs and connects to a local stunnel client that then connects to the remote cloud instance. This is working well enough at the moment, however there is one issue I'm bumping into. If the remote EC2 node goes dark for a bit (ie: reboot), the local stunnel client will reconnect, however the internal process which is establishing its connection to the local stunnel client does not get disconnected and therefore doesn't know that redis became unavailable and needs to re-subscribe to the redis stream. I need to invalidate the established session when the remote reconnects. Can this be accomplished with either a TIMEOUT value or session statement? Below is a sample of the configuration: ########### [some-ec2-node.com] client = yes verify = 2 CApath = /etc/ssl/certs sslVersion = TLSv1 accept = 127.0.0.1:10008 connect = some-ec2-node.com:6379 ########### $ stunnel4 -version stunnel 4.53 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform Compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 Running with OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 Update OpenSSL shared libraries or rebuild stunnel Threading:PTHREAD SSL:+ENGINE+OCSP Auth:LIBWRAP Sockets:POLL+IPv6 Global options: debug = daemon.notice pid = /var/run/stunnel4.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options: ciphers = ALL:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!EXP:!LOW:-MEDIUM:RC4:+HIGH curve = prime256v1 session = 300 seconds sslVersion = TLSv1 for client, all for server stack = 65536 bytes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none -- Josh

Rewriting HTTP host header
by Veit Guna 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Hi. After disabling SSLv3 I've got the same problem as: https://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2014-October/004814.html Sadly, he never got an answer. So I ask again, is it possible that stunnel could set the HTTP Host header to match the "connect = " setting? This way, Apache would accept that request instead of returning BAD REQUEST with AH02032. Thanks Veit

openvms and stunnel

17 Apr '15

Hello I'm trying to setup stunnel 4.20 yes it is an old version but the only one on HP's website for VMS. I need a little help in the conf files. Since I will be using telnet, do I need to put in each machines ip address that will be connecting? So in the example below do I create a listing of connects? [telnet] accept = 999 connect = 192.168.0.1:993 Thanks Paul Paul J Coviello Senior System Administrator CCS Corporate Headquarters Two Wells Avenue, Newton, MA 02459 617.965.2000, Ext. 4004 [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] CCS Commercial, LLC | CCS Resources, Inc. | ClaimAssist, LLC | Credit Control Services, Inc.

stunnel 5.15 release
by Michal Trojnara 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, I have released version 5.15 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 5.15, 2015.04.16, urgency: LOW: * New features - Added new service-level options "checkHost", "checkEmail" and "checkIP" for additional checks of the peer certificate subject. These options require OpenSSL version 1.0.2 or higher. - Win32 binary distribution now ships with the Mozilla root CA bundle. This bundle is intended be used together with the new "checkHost" option to validate server certs accepted by Mozilla. - New commandline options "-reload" to reload the configuration file and "-reopen" to reopen the log file of stunnel running as a Windows service (thx to Marc McLaughlin). - Added session persistence based on negotiated TLS sessions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_%28computing%29#Persistence The current implementation does not support external TLS session caching with sessiond. - MEDIUM ciphers (currently SEED and RC4) are removed from the default cipher list. - The "redirect" option was improved to not only redirect sessions established with an untrusted certificate, but also sessions established without a client certificate. - OpenSSL version checking modified to distinguish FIPS and non-FIPS builds. - Improved compatibility with the current OpenSSL 1.1.0-dev tree. - Removed support for OpenSSL versions older than 0.9.7. The final update for the OpenSSL 0.9.6 branch was 17 Mar 2004. - "sessiond" support improved to also work in OpenSSL 0.9.7. - Randomize the initial value of the round-robin counter. - New stunnel.conf templates are provided for Windows and Unix. * Bugfixes - Fixed compilation against old versions of OpenSSL. - Fixed memory leaks in certificate verification.

Claudia, Yes, to create a tunnel you need to configure stunnel on both sides, except in those cases when one of the extremes already supports TLS. Looks like yours is not one of those cases.

Verifying TLS authentication via stunnel logs
by shanmuganathan sedukumar 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

We have a requirement to send emails via a SMTP server which requires TLS authentication. Going through some logs we tried changing the parameter "SSLversion = TLSv1", but still getting authentication failure. So, we would like to verify if stunnel is trying to sending request via TLS method before looking for any issues at SMTP end. Is there a way we can verify from stunnel logs if the request is sent via TLS? Thanks & Regards,Shanmu

Session is active but I cannot connect
by daninho dj 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Hi guys, I am struggling with a problem for some time. I searched about this problem in the stunnel mails archives and also on Google but couldn't find a solution and I ran out of ideas so I was thinking to write you about it. I am using Eclipse to access and manipulate the data from a linux server. I want to use stunnel when I connect to the server via Eclipse, so I installed and configured everything as it follows: The server I am using is SuSE Linux and the stunnel version which I installed is this one: *stunnel 4.27 on x86_64-suse-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8j-fips 07 Jan 2009* The stunnel version on Windows 7 is: *stunnel version 5.10* In the conf file from linux (server) I have the following configuration for stunnel.conf: *client = no* *chroot = /var/lib/stunnel/* *setuid = root* *setgid = root* *pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid* *debug = 7* *output = /var/log/stunnel/stunnel.log* *cert = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem* *sslVersion = SSLv3* *[test]* *accept = 2404* *connect = 2406* In the conf file from windows (client) I have the following configuration in stunnel.conf: *debug = 7* *output = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.log* *cert = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.pem* *sslVersion = SSLv3* *[test]* *client = yes* *accept = 127.0.0.1:2404 <http://127.0.0.1:2404>* *connect = xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2406* In the log I have this: 2015.04.09 13:48:04 LOG5[11060]: Configuration successful 2015.04.09 13:48:04 LOG7[11060]: Listening file descriptor created (FD=452) 2015.04.09 13:48:04 LOG7[11060]: Service [test] (FD=452) bound to 127.0.0.1:2404 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[11060]: Service [test] accepted (FD=496) from 127.0.0.1:56675 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[11060]: Creating a new thread 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[11060]: New thread created 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[2088]: Service [test] started 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG5[2088]: Service [test] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:56675 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG6[2088]: s_connect: connecting xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2406 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[2088]: s_connect: s_poll_wait xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2406: waiting 10 seconds 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG5[2088]: s_connect: connected xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2406 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG5[2088]: Service [test] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:56676 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[2088]: Remote socket (FD=516) initialized 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG6[2088]: SNI: sending servername: *my_server_name* 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[2088]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2015.04.09 13:48:07 LOG7[2088]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2015.04.09 13:48:08 LOG3[2088]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected 2015.04.09 13:48:08 LOG5[2088]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2015.04.09 13:48:08 LOG7[2088]: Remote socket (FD=516) closed 2015.04.09 13:48:08 LOG7[2088]: Local socket (FD=496) closed 2015.04.09 13:48:08 LOG7[2088]: Service [test] finished (0 left) Although in the stunnel log it's showing *s_connect: connected* I cannot connect at all. When I try to connect via port 2406, the stunnel icon shows that the server is idle and I have nothing in the log about it. When I try to connect via port 2404, the stunnel icon shows that the there are 2 active sessions but I cannot connect to the server. I tried switching the ports (2404 with 2406 and 2406 with 2404 in the stunnel.conf file) but stunnel doesn't even open in that case. Do you have any idea what might could be the problem and how could I solve it? Thanks in advance! Best Regards, Daninho --

Hi I came across this thread, I know it's old... http://mailing.unix.stunnel-users.narkive.com/QOEx4XQz/stunnel-users-log-ro… And it says that's it's on the todo list, though I don't see anything indicating this on the list. So is log rotation implemented for Windows and if so what is the config parameter? Thanks

5.xx Windows binaries - FIPS compliant?
by Rob Lockhart 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

I apologize if this was asked in the past. I couldn't find any references to my question in the lists except this (related but not answering the question): http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2014-July/004673.html http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2012-November/003963.html I understand how to compile Stunnel from source, and the FIPS canister for OpenSSL, then build OpenSSL with this FIPS canister, then build Stunnel using that OpenSSL. My question is for the Windows version with filename "stunnel-5.13-installer.exe". That compiled version doesn't seem to be built with FIPS canister, as the log shows: "Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2a 19 Mar 2015" without a "-fips" appendage after the OpenSSL version. In other words, if it was built as FIPS-compliant, it would show: "Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips 19 Mar 2015" It may support the FIPS options (in the config file) but it's not FIPS-compliant. I also assume that this doesn't preclude the FIPS options in the config file from working. Specifically, FIPS-compliant does NOT imply that FIPS mode cannot be enabled. Am I understanding this correctly? Thanks, -Rob

Multiple versions of TLS in config?
by Rob Lockhart 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Unless I'm mistaken, stunnel version 5 currently supports the options shown below for sslVersion: all => TLS v1.0, TLS v1.1, TLS v1.2, SSLv2, SSLv3 TLSv1 => TLS v1.0 only (not TLS v1.1, TLSv1.2, SSLv2 or SSLv3) TLSv1.1 => TLS v1.1 only TLSv1.2 => TLS v1.2 only In order to support TLS v1.0, TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2 but disable SSLv2 and SSLv3, you should have in the config file: sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 (those last two lines may be default in the new Stunnel). However, what if I want to just have TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 but NOT TLSv1.0? I last tried this with Stunnel v5.10 but nothing in the changelogs tells me that this behavior has been changed to choose a list of protocols; only one parameter is accepted. Is there a way to allow TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 but disallow TLSv1.0? Thanks, -Rob

Stunnel urgency: HIGH versus LOW

Hello, I just noticed a urgency discrepancy for Stunnel 5.12 on the website (both of these links are under the Downloads section): https://www.stunnel.org/versions.html - shows 5.12 urgency as HIGH https://www.stunnel.org/sdf_ChangeLog.html - shows 5.12 urgency as LOW I don't know if it makes a difference with 5.13 available (assuming urgency = LOW) but I think 5.12 should have urgency=HIGH.

Receive from secure servers
by Info ITsatWork 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

Hello, A company which we work with wants to send secure (TLS) mails to our server. I think stunnel can do the trick for me, as our own server (Scalix) doesn't support TLS for itself. Now I set up stunnel and it looks like its working, except it's not receiving secured mails. I can still receive normal mails, so somehow it is not working. I used the sample config and filled in the things I thought I needed. My config: ; Sample stunnel configuration file for Unix by Michal Trojnara 2002-2015 ; Some options used here may be inadequate for your particular configuration ; This sample file does *not* represent stunnel.conf defaults ; Please consult the manual for detailed description of available options ; ************************************************************************** ; * Global options * ; ************************************************************************** ;

STunnel v5.11 Multi SNI
by Scott McKeown 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi Michal, Thank you for the update and yes this does work but I feel that this is incorrect. Lets say that I have two domains domain.com newdomain.com If I'm load balancing these domains to different backend servers this will not work as it will always hit domain.com using this style of wildcard. I think it should be: sni = http:*.domain.com This will then split out the domains, I know that the chance of this being the case is low but I do believe that this should be how SNI is handled for this type of case.

SSH connection problems inside stunnel
by debian＠bercot.org 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hello, I've installed a stunnel between my laptop and my server (both in Debian SID) [v5.06-2]. Here is my client stunnel.conf : pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid client = yes sslVersion = TLSv1.2 debug = 7 [ssh] accept = 5000 protocol = connect protocolHost = myserver:443 connect = myproxy:8080 The server one : cert = mycert key = mykey chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4/ setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 pid = /stunnel4.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 sslVersion = TLSv1.2 ; https ou ssh encapsulé dans du ssl [sslh] accept = 443 connect = myserver:444 And my .ssh/config : Host myserver HostName localhost Port 5000 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mykey ProtocolKeepAlives 6 At home (I use tinyproxy to test), everything is OK. At work, with a "true" proxy, sometimes I can connect (but I'm quickly disconnected), sometimes I can't... I've watch the logs but find nothing. Do you have any idea ? Something to look in the logs ? Here is an example of a short connection : ~ $ ssh myserver root@myserver:~# cat /var/log/syslog | grep stunnel [...] root@myserver~# Timeout, server localhost not responding. More often I have : ~ $ ssh myserver ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host In my local logs : Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3984]: Service [ssh] accepted (FD=3) from 127.0.0.1:44794 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Service [ssh] started Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: Service [ssh] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:44794 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: s_connect: connecting myproxy:8080 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: s_connect: s_poll_wait myproxy:8080: waiting 10 seconds Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: s_connect: connected myproxy:8080 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: Service [ssh] connected remote server from myIP:58282 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Remote socket (FD=8) initialized Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: -> CONNECT myserver:443 HTTP/1.1 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: -> Host: myserver:443 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: -> Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: <- HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: CONNECT request accepted Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: <- Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: SNI: sending servername: myserver Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 54 items in the session cache Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 109 client connects (SSL_connect()) Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 110 client connects that finished Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 client renegotiations requested Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 server connects (SSL_accept()) Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 server connects that finished Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 server renegotiations requested Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 56 session cache hits Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 external session cache hits Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 session cache misses Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL alert (read): warning: close notify Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: SSL closed (SSL_read) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Sent socket write shutdown Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: Read socket closed (readsocket) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: Read socket closed (hangup) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: Write socket closed (hangup) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Sending close_notify alert Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL alert (write): warning: close notify Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify alert Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: Connection closed: 32 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Remote socket (FD=8) closed Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Local socket (FD=3) closed Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Service [ssh] finished (0 left) Thank you.

Dear all, Downloads on https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html seem to be broken. Clicking any link brings one back to the Downloads page (serves the downloads.html file). I noticed when deploying Streisand ( https://github.com/jlund/streisand ), which mirrors stunnel on each installation. Best, Lukas

Re: [stunnel-users] [stunnel-announce] stunnel 5.10 released - Problem compiling stunnel 5.10 with openssl 1.0.2
by WNSDEV 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

stunnel 5.10 openssl 1.0.2 Ubuntu 10.04 Server lucid after installing automake-1.14.1 (required as of 5.08) and running configure without a problem, make fails with this message: /usr/bin/ld: /ssl-1.0.2/lib/libssl.a(s2_srvr.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /ssl-1.0.2/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value I can resolve this issue by commenting the assignment of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the stunnel configure script so -fPIE and -pie -fPIE are not implemented. # stunnel_CFLAGS="$stunnel_CFLAGS -fPIE" # stunnel_LDFLAGS="$stunnel_LDFLAGS -pie -fPIE" This is not required in stunnel 5.07 or earlier versions. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is here.. can anyone explain what the conflict is?
