Centos 6.6 Final stunnel-4.29-3.el6_6.1.x86_64 - options set problem SSLv3
by Sebastian Ochsenkühn 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hi, I have a big problem with the new stunnel version on CentOS 6.6 (stunnel-4.29-3.el6_6.1.x86_64) that is available in the CentOS base repository. You describe in your documentation that SSLv3 is disabled by default. -> OK for me, but I need SSLv3 and the option with -NO_SSLv3 is not working?! PS: this is also not working with -NO_SSLv2 option. options = -NO_SSLv3 = NOT Working option = NO_SSLv3 = Working. Currently i have installed an older version, where the SSLv3 protocoll is not disabled by default. Is there anything that I'm doing wrong? Thanks and Regards, Sebastian.

Blue Iris

I have stunnel set up on my machine. It works locally and lets me connect to my Blue Iris server with https. However, I am unable to do this remotely. I have forwarded the port in my router to stunnel, from stunnel to blue iris, but still doesn't work. Below is part of my conf file [Blue Iris] accept = 8344 (forwarded this in the router to my static IP of my machine) connect = 127.0.0.1:8081 (8081 is my blue iris web server) I hope someone is able to give some advice

Re: [stunnel-users] No DNS lookup?
by Colin van der Zanden 21 Jan '15

Ludolf, Thanks for your quick response. I have no clue on how to respond on the stunnel users list, so i'll try it this way. The support on the host we are trying to reach states to following: It really sounds like the stunnel is not connecting to "something.host.com" but perhaps to the IP address behind it? The use of the hostname something.host.com is however an requirement. Is there anyway we can force the stunnel to connect to the hostname instead of resolving it as an IP adress?

No DNS lookup?
by Colin vd Zanden 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi, We've got a bit of a problem working with Stunnel. We are trying to connect to a domain, but the stunnel is somehow translating it to a IP adres. (We didn't know, we saw it in the log file). This is causing our connection to fail. Is there any way to prevent stunnel from translating the domain into a IP, and just connect to the domain name?

HTTPS support for the webserver using STUNNEL
by Siva Kumar 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi All, I am fairly new to stunnel and also to the networking concepts. Currently we are working on a surveillance device running on monta vista linux on the ARM11 architecture. We have crossed compiled and deployed a THTTPD server which is working fine. Once you connect to the device using any of the web client (from a windows PC), it will take you to a web page where you can select and stream live video's from all the camera's connected to the device. So far everything is working fine now.. Now the real problem is that we need to support https as well along with http. Since THTTPD web server doesn't support secure connection we thought we would accomplish that using the stunnel application. We were able to download and cross compile the stunnel application for the device. Now the doubts I have here is:- 1) Do we need a stunnel server application running on the windows PC from where we will be using the web browser to connect to the client? 2) Where should be the stunnel server and stunnel client be running. I mean should the linux device be running the stunnel client and the windows PC be running the stunnel server? In that case what should be the correct accept and connect parameters in the stunnel.conf file in both the device and the windows PC? 3) Since the device and the machine can have any random IP and port, so is it feasible to dynamically set the accept and connect parameters in the stunnel.conf file? 4) Can the stunnel be considered as a solution to the problem which I have reported here. The point 3 above makes me thing otherwise. I have tried all combinations mentioned in the point 1 and 2 without success. In none of the case my web browser was able to talk to the device using HTTPS (ie https://my_device_ip) I could see a "client hello" request from the browser to which the client sends an ACK and RST. In some combination an HTTPS request from the browser only triggered a TCP connection request for which the client responded with ACK and RST. Sorry for the long mail. Any inputs would be deeply appreciated. Regards, Siva

Using stunnel to secure clients instead of servers
by Leon Smith 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hi, this may be a slightly unusual request, but I was curious if stunnel could be used for securing clients that do not support TLS, to connect to services that optionally support TLS. So, really, stunnel already does almost everything that would be needed; except that in this use case, it would be listening for incoming unencrypted connections, and then serve as a proxy to an encrypted connection to the actual service. While it might be nice to offer certificate-based authentication options in this scenario, it wouldn't be necessary for my intended use case, so stunnel wouldn't need access to any private certificates. However, certificate pinning would be pretty essential to what I have in mind. Best, Leon.
