issue with connection sending cxml out
by Daniel Trickett 08 Dec '21

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? This is on our test server. 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG6[12]: TLS connected: new session negotiated 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG6[12]: TLSv1.2 ciphersuite: ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (128-bit encryption) 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG7[12]: Compression: null, expansion: null 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG7[12]: TLS alert (read): warning: close notify <<< 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG6[12]: TLS closed (SSL_read) 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG7[12]: Sent socket write shutdown 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG6[12]: Read socket closed (readsocket) 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG7[12]: Sending close_notify alert 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG7[12]: TLS alert (write): warning: close notify 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG6[12]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify alert 2021.12.08 14:26:55 LOG5[12]: Connection closed: 10187 byte(s) sent to TLS, 561 byte(s) sent to socket Best regards, Dan This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Insecure file permissions on /etc/ssl/private.key
by jose isaias cabrera 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Greetings! I have duckduckgo'ed and I have not found an answer, but what should be the permissions for the private key since the stunnel is giving me a warning/error regarding that: ... [ ] Loading private key from file: /etc/ssl/private.key [:] Insecure file permissions on /etc/ssl/private.key [ ] Private key loaded from file: /etc/ssl/private.key ... this is that I have set: jic@web:~$ ls -l /etc/ssl/private.key -rw-r--r-- 1 root www-data 1702 Oct 13 02:54 /etc/ssl/private.key the www-data is the user that runs the website. All is running well, apparently, but, I would like to set the correct permission on the private.key file. Thanks for your support. josé -- What if eternity is real? Where will you spend it? Hmmmm...

Althttpd web server setup using ZeroSSL
by jose isaias cabrera 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Greetings! I have the ssl files from ZeroSSL, and I am trying to set up https using stunnel4 on an ubuntu server. I am new to https, I would love some of your help setting this up. Here is what I have done so far: 1. Installed Althttpd and http is working fine on the home network and from the external network. 2. I have installed stunnel4 on the ubuntu server jcabrera@selva:~$ stunnel -v [ ] Clients allowed=500 [.] stunnel 5.56 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform [.] Compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1c 28 May 2019 [.] Running with OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020 [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6,SYSTEMD TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI Auth:LIBWRAP [ ] errno: (*__errno_location ()) [!] Invalid configuration file name "-v" [!] realpath: No such file or directory (2) [ ] Deallocating section defaults 3. I have placed the ZeroSSl ssl files on the ssl directory as per ZeroSSL instructions jcabrera@selva:~$ ls -l /etc/ssl/*.crt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2431 Oct 20 16:27 /etc/ssl/ca_bundle.crt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2354 Oct 20 16:31 /etc/ssl/certificate.crt root@selva:/home/jcabrera# ls -l /etc/ssl/private/*.key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1702 Oct 20 16:33 /etc/ssl/private/private.key 4. Created the the /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf file with these entries: root@selva:/home/jcabrera# cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf cert = /etc/ssl/certificate.crt key = /etc/ssl/private/private.key \[https\] accept = :::443 TIMEOUTclose = 0 exec = /usr/bin/althttpd execargs = /usr/bin/althttpd -logfile ~/www/http.log -root ~/www -user www-data -https 1 And, I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. josé -- What if eternity is real? Where will you spend it? Hmmmm...

Office 365 connections stopped working
by Ben Bazian 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

This has been working for years and recently stopped. I am a novice here. Can someone look at this and please tell me what is happening? It is an old server that does not support TLS so we put Stunnel in front of it. I am sure the version of stunnel is pretty old.

setting permissions on a unix socket
by David Mandelberg 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Hi, Is there any way for stunnel to set permissions on a unix socket created with the `accept` option? I see setuid and setgid at https://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html but nothing about a umask or permissions. P.S. The link on https://www.stunnel.org/lists.html to see the archive is broken. Apologies if this has come up before.

Stunnel connection to Akamai Cloud Servers (Hostheaders) with SNI
by Alan C. Bonnici 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Hi, I am trying to use stunnel to exchange data with a service hosted on Akamai Servers. There is a need to implement SNI. In posts dated from 2016 which I found online, Stunnel did not support Host Headers. Is there a workaround, or has Stunnel implemented this functionality? I will be testing using postman. A sample config to get me going would really be appreciated. The URL is related to plivo. It is ak-api.plivo.com. Thank you in anticipation.

Need a clean way to reject a client IP
by robin.kerdiles＠emanrisk.fr 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Hello everyone, I'm doing a few tests on a dockerized service for stunnel under Alpine. stunnel -version stunnel 5.60 on x86_64-alpine-linux-musl platform Compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.1k 25 Mar 2021 Running with OpenSSL 1.1.1l 24 Aug 2021 Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,OCSP,PSK,SNI If I set a wrong certificate on client side, my server logs get spammed with these lines : 2021.09.28 07:43:52 LOG5[66]: Service [***] accepted connection from *** 2021.09.28 07:43:52 LOG4[66]: CERT: Pre-verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate 2021.09.28 07:43:52 LOG4[66]: Rejected by CERT at depth=2: C=***, O=***, CN=*** 2021.09.28 07:43:52 LOG3[66]: SSL_accept: ssl/statem/statem_srvr.c:3711: error:1417C086:SSL routines:tls_process_client_certificate:certificate verify failed 2021.09.28 07:43:52 LOG5[66]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket The cpu usage goes up to 35% and it seems there is no way to set a timeout before trying to reconnect on client side (which is not the perfect fix by the way). On server side, I don't know if we are supposed to be able to do something about that (for example rate limiting the requests ?). Even the fail2ban filter doesn't seem to support this case. And anyway it seems it requires manual patching on stunnel source code for the logs. Would it be possible to put on the same line the client IP and a message about the connection which has been rejected ? fail2ban filter : https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/master/config/filter.d/stunnel.co… What would be appreciated -> a log line in this format : 2021.09.28 07:43:52 LOG4[66]: HOST has been rejected by CERT at depth=2: C=***, O=***, CN=*** Of course, I don't have in mind the other possible cases (missing cert, etc...). Thank you in advance, Robin KERDILES

Disguising HTTP 503 services unavailable
by Haruka Takagi 18 Sep '21

18 Sep '21

It is my understanding that; stunnel clients give up connecting servers because of HTTP 503 services unavailable, tunneling failure causes stunnel clients to notify original senders of errors, and original senders acknowledge communication failure and stop program. I would like stunnel clients to reconnecting servers in cases of 503 and not to notify original senders of failure, in order that original senders are unaware of failure and can continue program. If possible, I want to do this by writing stunnel.conf without modifying souce codes. Is this configuration possible?

protocol = proxy with redirect
by Rob Hoes 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hi, I am using client certificate verification with the redirect option, so that the connection gets transferred to a separate socket in case the certificate is not accepted (rather than dropping the connection). This works well, unless I add the option “protocol = proxy” in order to get the client’s TCP params passed on. In this case, the redirect option seems to be ignored. Are the “redirect” and “protocol = proxy” options incompatible with one another? Is there an alternative? Thanks, Rob

How to resolve DNS by stunnel?
by shiga＠smart-cast.co.jp 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Hi, I'm facing DNS issues when connecting to a server using a dynamic IP address. I think stunnel refers to DNS at startup, so if the IP address changes in the middle, it will get a connection error. Can this be resolved with the "delay=on" option? I'm looking for a way to handle a dynamic IP address in stunnel. Thanks.

stunnel logfile and setuid/setgid
by Norbert Hanke 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

Hi, I'm new to this list and hope I don't raise a question that has been raised many times before. I searched the archive and couldn't find that discussed previously... I want to configure stunnel using setuid = nobody setgid = nobody while having it write its output to its own logfile, not using syslog, with output = /var/log/stunnel.log log = append syslog = no This works when user nobody has write-access to an existing logfile, or user nobody is allowed to create the file in the directory. Both is not a good idea: user nobody should not have write access there. I could limit potential damage by having a separate directory with such access to nobody, but that is still kind of wrong. Or I could create a separate user only for stunnel and give that user full access to a separate directory: that would be more secure, only a hijacked (hopefully not) stunnel could tamper with its own logfiles. Shouldn't stunnel create and/or open the logfile while it is still running as root, and only then switch to user nobody? Or is there an option that I did not see so far allowing for what I'm trying? Thanks for any help. Regards, Norbert

Stunnel 5.60 started via Stunnel TLS wrapper on Windows 10 machine doesn't seem to be working
by ling＠aliko.com 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hi, I am trying to get Stunnel 5.60 started automatically as a service. My stunnel.conf is stored under C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config works fine if I run stunnel.exe manually from CMD or bring up the GUI and reload configuration. Now I would like it to start automatically after reboots. I tried running stunnel.exe -install which installs the Stunnel TLS wrapper service. Starting the service does not however do anything. The "Path to execute" it installs for the service is "C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config" -service -install. I don't see anything in the log. I can see that the stunnel.exe process is running in task manager. But running netstat -ao shows that no port is being listened to by the PID. Tried removing my stunnel.conf file and the service will still starts but stunnel doesn't seem to be doing anything. What could be the problem?

Minor bugfix: parameter type
by Peter Pentchev 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi, Thanks a lot for the continued development of stunnel! While checking whether my Debian packages can be built with the upcoming GCC 11, I found (or rather, GCC reported) a minor discrepancy in the type of the "hash" parameter to the crypt_DES() function in protocol.c. What do you think about the attached patch? It is also available at: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/stunnel/-/blob/master/debian/patches/06-des… Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

Is it possible to tunnel all tcp sessions of docker containers
by Yichun Ding 15 Aug '21

15 Aug '21

Hi, We are looking for the possibility to encrypt all the tcp sessions of containers between hosts with stunnel. So far I had no luck to come up with an iptables rule to route the packets to stunnel running on the host. We cannot change the container code as there are too many of them. Any advice would be appreciated! -yd

stunnel ignores chroot /etc/hosts
by kmx1818＠gmail.com 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hello all! On my localhost I've got a java 1.4 tls1.0 app/service running, which is hard-coded to http-call a soap service (tls1.0 level too) running on a remote host, say, svchost. Host resolution is "files" only (ie /etc/hosts) - no dns. The aim is to make this java client tls1.2-compliant. My solution is: 1/ configure svchost to be (an alias of) localhost - in global /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost svchost 2/ configure a chroot env for stunell with its own /etc/hosts 1.2.3.4 svchost (needless to say that to make it work I had to copy /etc's nsswitch.conf resolv.conf, a bunch of libraries, esp libnsl and nsl_files etc, and create another lot of /dev entries) I've tested it with the native getent command: $ getent hosts svchost 127.0.0.1 $ chroot /var/run/stunnel/chroot getent hosts svchost 1.2.3.4 3/ run stunnel in chroot mode: # /opt/csw/bin/stunnel -version stunnel 5.59 on sparc-sun-solaris2.10 platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2u 20 Dec 2019 ; for tls1 clients client = yes sslVersion = TLSv1.2 delay = yes chroot = /var/run/stunnel/chroot [tls12] accept = localhost:80 connect = svchost:443 ; Alas, stunnel still resolves svchost from the global /etc/hosts - not from chroot's!: $ curl -kL http://svchost/service curl: (52) Empty reply from server ...and in /var/adm/messages: …LOG[4]: Service [tls12] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:47944 …LOG[4]: s_connect: connecting 127.0.0.1:443 …LOG[4]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 127.0.0.1:443: waiting 10 seconds …LOG[4]: s_connect: connect 127.0.0.1:443: Connection refused (146) …LOG[4]: No more addresses to connect I've tried foreground yes/no, truss/strace - nothing useful... What am I missing!? Thank you in advance!

Unexpected socket close while sending mail
by zfefm＠gmx.de 27 Jul '21

27 Jul '21

Hi, since several days I try to get stunnel working to add TLS1.2 or higher support to my outdated email client program (Applemail 4.6) as my service provider will stop supporting the old protocols soon. The protocol of stunnel looks as if the connection gets established well. But as soon I want to send a mail my mail program tries for 10-15s to send an then gives up. In the stunnel protocol (time stamp 16:54:22) the server seems to accept the connection, but about 10-15s later I get: Unexpected socket close (s_read) Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket Any ideas what could be the problem? Thanks. conf and protocol attached. conf: setuid = nobody setgid = nogroup foreground = yes debug = 7 output = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log [strato-pop3] client = yes verifyChain = yes accept =

idea: linux stunnel mini-GUI
by Dmitry Bakshaev 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

we need start stunnel on linux desktop by ordinary user (like on windows): 1 click stunnel icon on system menu 2 enter user certificate password 3 use opened tunnels with users applications 4 on desktop session ends close all tunnels make XDG menu entry file: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=stunnel Categories=Network; GenericName=TLS/SSL - Port Wrapper Comment[ru_RU]=Секретный туннель Icon=stunnel Exec=/usr/bin/stunnel Terminal=true X-KeepTerminal=true but only problem is how stunnel react on signals: HUP is daemon's "reload config". in X-session HUP signal is "session end" and stunnel is not exited on closing terminal or logout. attached patch change this behavior: if "foreground=yes" specified in stunnel.conf HUP signal is treated as TERM and stunnel exited. foreground=yes is "debug" or "desktop" mode of stunnel. XDG-desktop file and icon file may be included in default stunnel distributions.

Difficulty to select exact Cipher
by Sachin Deshmukh 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hello Together, I had been trying to use a stunnel to set PSK encrypted TLS. Below is my conf file. [client] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:8888 connect = 192.168.1.100:443 ciphers = PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA256 PSKsecrets = /data/dummy.txt I can see communication, but client e.g. Stunnel from Client side offer several other cipher in addition to exact one which is expected as per conf. I wish PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA256 (0x00ae) But I see the list below in actual communication. [image: image.png] Please let me know 1 .how we can inform stunnel to use exact and only 1 cipher provided in the conf file. Or 2. How can we state hex id instead of string. If I see a cipher list, with the same keyword as a part or whole there are more than 1 ciphers, I suppose this causes stunnel to take a list as per string match. ECDHE-PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA256 TLSv1 Kx=ECDHEPSK Au=PSK Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA256 RSA-PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA256 TLSv1 Kx=RSAPSK Au=RSA Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA256 DHE-PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA256 TLSv1 Kx=DHEPSK Au=PSK Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA256 *PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA256 * TLSv1 Kx=PSK Au=PSK Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA256 Can we make a stunnel to select only one exact cipher?

stunnel and rsyslog
by Yann RESCOURIO 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hello I use stunnel for rsyslog. And on the client equipment, I use also rsyslog queues for buffering in case of disconnection. But in case of reboot: * without stunnel, the buffered log messages are received on the rsyslog server * with stunnel, no buffered log messages are received on the rsyslog server On the client equipment, is it possible to refuse the local stunnel connections as long as the remote stunnel connection is down ? Regards Yann Rescourio
