How to configure Stunnel for ICMP packets?
by Rutger Thomschitz 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

Dear group, I have just started using Stunnel 4.04 with OpenSSL. This may seem a bit strange, but, I would like to configure Stunnel such that it will encrypt all my Ping packets. The reason in a nut shell is that I would like to use Ping to determine the network overhead added by SSL, as part of my research. How can I set up stunnel (i.e. stunnel.conf) to tunnel all ICMP (i.e. Ping) packets? Thank you very much in advance. I look forward to any replies.

RE: [stunnel-users] UDP End-points
by Les Niles 06 Nov '04

Pardon my ignorance, but why not run PPP over stunnel and then UDP over that? No new encapsulation to invent. Performance would be lousy, so it would be stupid to use for some streaming media protocol, but for low-bandwidth UDP-based protocols like NTP, DNS, RADIUS, etc. it might well be useful. -les -----Original Message----- From: stunnel-users-bounces(a)mirt.net On Behalf Of Michal Trojnara Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] UDP End-points Leigh, > Perhaps I wasn't quite as clear as I intended.. :) > I'm not suggesting that SSL over UDP should be done.. I'm suggesting > that stunnel could potentially act as a UDP-over-encrypted-TCP > gateway. Okay. Now I understand your idea (I hope). I would have to design a propriatary datagram-over-byte-stream (DOBS) protocol (at least length of UDP packets has to be encoded aside from the content), and then tunnel UDP over DOBS over SSL over TCP. This is why I don't like it: 1. Such tunneling is not very effective. There's a *huge* protocol overhead. 2. It's not standard. One of the main ideas behind stunnel is its interoperability. 3. I think it's much easier to write such encrypting UDP forwarder from scratch using IPSec-style datagram protocol, than to modify stunnel. 4. It breaks my KISS principle. 8-) In fact I would really like to find a time (or a sponsor) to develop such UDP encrypting forwarder. BTW: Maybe it's better to use IPSec or VTUN instead of a proxy?

Stunnel not working with Qmail
by Paul Swainson 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Hi to all list members, I will try to as descriptive as possible about the problem. I have a qmail install and I had used courier for imap, imapssl & pop3dssl. I wanted to implement smtp ssl. I have gone through the stuff at stunnel.org but I don't think its my qmail config that's the problem. This is the first time I have used stunnel, I compiled no probs and before doing so I installed open ssl 0.9.7e I have created a conf for stunnel and here it is: Cat /usr/local/etc/stunnel/smtpsd.conf cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem exec = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd #******** execargs = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd mydomain.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true 2>&1 #******** client = yes foreground = yes in the qmail run (smtpsd) script I have amended it to read #!/bin/sh QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me` if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z "$LOCAL" ]; then echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run exit 1 fi if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!" echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay" exit 1 fi exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 40000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 465 \ #********* /usr/local/sbin/stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/smtpsd.conf #********* Execargs has in the stunnel conf is the line from smtpd run script, when it runs I don't have any output to the log so I can only assume stunnel is dying before it starts the session. Has anyone got this working? I know that it can but a lot of examples are for pop3ds. If I type stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/smtpsd.conf I get the following error: Unable to open "/dev/cryptonet" Any help on this would be much appreciated, Thanks Regards Paul Swainson

Hi all, I found some references to compression options in openssl.org - specifically to the SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() routine. Is there any way to invoke/use this from stunnel? Thanks, Jonathan Wilson

Re: stunnel consumes 99% cpu at HPUX
by Gavin Ho 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Mike, thanks for your information. Each of our HPUX machines has 2 CPUs. Actually, before post my problem on this mailing list, I tried to search on Google but can't find any hints to solve the problem. Then I tried to browse the stunnel 4.0.5 source code and can't find any hints too. But I noticed that someone said on some historical newsgroup postings the problem may be related to openssl. Do you think thats true? I will wait for the version 4.0.6 and hope it can solve my problem.

stunnel consumes 99% cpu at HPUX
by gykho＠ogcio.gov.hk 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi All, We set up stunnel from two linux machines located at DMZ to a HPUX cluster located at Private Zone. There is firewall in between. We use stunnel to encrypt Tomcat AJP traffic from apache web servers on linux machines to JBoss app server a HPUX cluster. The stunnel run at HPUX cluster was started as deamon mode and listened on a cluster failover IP instead of host IP. We found that the stunnel process at HPUX cluster consumed 99% CPU after run for a few days (started at Oct 26 10:26 and it was reported 99% CPU at Oct 29 23:00, under a very low traffic. Can anyone help? The debug log at HPUX is also attached, as shown in the log there was no requeset on Oct29 but the CPU still shot up to 99%.

Perhaps I wasn't quite as clear as I intended.. :) I'm not suggesting that SSL over UDP should be done.. I'm suggesting that stunnel could potentially act as a UDP-over-encrypted-TCP gateway. For example: (For the moment, lets focus on syslog data): Pre-stunnel: Server 1 Sends syslog messages to UDP port 514 on Server 2. Server1 and Server2 both then install stunnel: Server1: Syslog messages are redirected to localhost UDP port 514 (rather than Server2 UDP port 514). Server1: Stunnel listens on UDP port 514, and sends encrypted data to Server2 on TCP port 12345 Server2: Stunnel listens on TCP port 12345, decrypts the data, and sends to localhost UDP port 514. This way, stunnel acts as the UDP to TCP (encrypted) to UDP gateway - in a similar way that it can currently act as a pure TCP -> TCP (encrypted) -> TCP gateway. Regards, Leigh.

UDP end-points
by Red Phoenix 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Establishing a SSL connection over UDP would be pretty tough, but has anyone thought about the possibility of allowing the 'listen' and 'destination' points to be UDP ports, with the main comms routed over TCP? This would effectively accomplish what most UDP requestors need. I was thinking along the lines of: Server1 (source): client = yes [syslogcrypt] # listen on udp port 514 for syslog messages uaccept = 514 # connect to remote stunnel TCP port 5140 connect = 5140 - - - - - Server2 (destination): client = no [syslogcrypt] # listen on 5140 accept = 5140 # connect to local udp port 514 uconnect = 514 Logic would be along the lines of: if client = yes and uconnect is used, then die (or assume they meant tcp). if client = no and uaccept is used, then die (or assume tcp). it should be reasonably easy to add a flag into LOCAL_OPTIONS somewhere, so that it opens a UDP server/client - along the lines of (mangled out of a simple udp server app I wrote): int sockfd,rbind; struct sockaddr_in serv_addr, client_addr; int port,sockopt=1; char buffer[1234]; if((sockfd=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM,0))<0) { fprintf(stderr,"UDP Server: errno = %d\n", errno); fprintf(stderr,"Cannot open datagram socket\n"); exit(1); } setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &sockopt, sizeof(sockopt)); // check that ports are available, and files exist? bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr)); serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY); serv_addr.sin_port = htons(portnumber); if((rbind = bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr))) < 0) { fprintf(stderr,"Port is not available. Exiting.\n"); exit(2); } while(1) { length=recvfrom(sockfd,buffer,sizeof(buffer)-1,0,(struct sockaddr *) &client_addr,&addrlen); } Any thoughts? Regards, Leigh.

VPN with windows
by Angelo Raspanti 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

I have experimented with succes to use stunnel for make a VPN between two PC with linux.It work with start pppd on both sides when the SSL negotiation is termined with success. At this time server and client sides launch the pppd daemon and the connecction with IP address read from pppd command line (written in config file of stunnel) is made. To make a VPN with two linux BOX is easily ! But if one of the two sides is a Windows plattaform ? I think that the use of this tecnique is noot possible. How to make un VPN between a Linux Plattaform and a Windows plattaform ? Is possible ? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english

Managed to sort this issue out by upgrading my JVM to 1.5.0 and adding the certificated in under the Java control panel. Ran into another problem afterwards with my application generating an UNKNOWN PROTOCOL error on the 3rd TCP session after successfully accepting the first two... very strange. I think I'm going to have to give up on the idea of using Java's or IE's SSL system and use Stunnel as a client too.

permanent tunnel
by Ramin Dousti 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Hello, I'd like to set up an stunnel between two hosts which currently talk to each other unencrypted. The communication between these two hosts is HTTP and sporadic. What I'd like to achieve is a permanent stunnel between the hosts regardless of their communiucation pattern. Is this possible? And if yes, how? The current setup utilizes stunnel in server mode on the server side and stunnel in client mode on the client side. When a client issues a request, I see that an SSL tunnel is set up between the hosts and after the reception of the reply, the SSL tunnel is torn down. So, the question is, how can I nail down the SSL tunnel to be permanent? Thank you in advance, Ramin

Has anybody a solution to this problem ? There was a thread about this msg in June. I am using a central Source staging server for my windows applications accessed via stunnel from remote over a Linux stunnel on the Internet gateway. Centrally I use SuSE Linux 8.2 with stunnel 4.04 and on the clients the current 4.05 windows binary version (also does not work with the older 4.04 windows binary version). The "SourceSave" Software does a directory comparision and then a download of all changed components. Without stunnel no problem. With stunnel after some traffic I always get "SSL returned WANT_: retrying" in the stunnel window and then the software stops downloading. Mit freundlichen Gruessen / With regards Dipl. Ing.

I use Stunnel 4.03 I have been working on a project with some slow POS equipment trying to do SSL connections. Because of the slow processors on these devices, we are trying to speed up the connection and transaction. The concept of "session resumption" came up. What is the best way to setup Stunnel to make subsequent connections faster with session resumption.

by Kenneth Simpson 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Hi - I'm having problems with Stunnel 4.05 and Outlook - but not with Mozilla/Thunderbird. Unfortantely, most of our users use Outlook from Office 2000 and Office XP. The problem is Outlook can't send email when using SIMAP/SSMTP. If the remote users set their SMTP server to be their ISP, then Outlook doesn't have a problem. It suggests a sendmail issue except Mozilla/Thunderbird work fine. How do most people configure stunnel for Outlook? We're behind a screening router and port 587 - the so-called sendmail "submission" port - is currently closed. All ICMP is administratively disabled for this host at the router. But sendmail on this particular host is configured for port 587 behind the firewall. Is there a need to configure stunnel for port 587 too? We're using OpenSSL 0.9.7d Sendmail 8.12.10 Stunnel 4.0.5 SPARC Solaris 5.8 Enclosed is the stunnel.conf file. Under version 3.x roughly year ago things appeared to be working correctly - but we've upgraded both sendmail and SSL since then - and our users where migrating from Outlook Express to Outlook. Any ideas? I've added the options options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS TIMEOUTbusy = 300 TIMEOUTclose = 60 TIMEOUTidle = 43200 but no help. Any help would greatly appreciated! -- Ken

I have downloaded and installed the stunnel-4.05.exe together with the libssl32.dll and libeay32.dll from stunnel.org. I am able to start the stunnel without problem. however after the a while the process die-off automatically. check the event log in the windows (using Windows XP), it gives error msg as "Faulting application stunnel-4-05.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module libssl32.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00006cd8." I would appreciate if anyone can help me on this? many thanks in advance!

Connection crypted with pppd
by angelo.raspanti 27 Oct '04

I have a problem using stunnel v 4.05 under Linux with kernel 2.4.27. My target is using two PC connected via serial port with trafic crypted. I have achieved this schema: +-------+ +-------+ | | | | | PC1 |------------rs232---------| PC2 | | |10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2| | | | | | +-------+ +-------+ I have started pppd in raw mode in PC1 and PC2 and i have verified (with ping)that the link is OK for trafic without criptyng. Below i have tried to "mount" a tunnel cripted between PC1 and PC2 but stunnel server side return an error in openpty function. The stunnel.conf server side (PC1) is: -------------------------------------- cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ pid = setuid = nobody setgid = nobody # Some

side (PC2) is: -------------------------------------- cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ pid = setuid = nobody setgid = nobody # Some debugging stuff debug = 7 output
