Problem with pkcs11
by Heinsbroek, Peter 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Hallo everybody. I’m running Stunnel 5.44 with pkcs11 on windows ,with the use of a HSM containing the private keys. That’s working fine. Now I want to upgrade to 5.55,so from 32 bit to 64 bit. I replaced the 32 bit cryptoki with a 64 bit cryptoki. But now it isn’t working. I looked with sysinternals ,and it seems the hsm login isn’t working. I also placed the 64bit ssleay32 & libeap32 in the windows\system32 folder. Did I forget something? If anyone can help ,it’s highly appreciated.

Help, I cannot get Outlook Express email to work after Cox changes
by David Yunker 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

To anybody who can help, I am currently using Stunnel version 5.24. I cannot update it to the latest version because I am using it on a Windows XP system. My problem is that I am currently using COX for my internet provider and COX recently change the email protocol from SSL to TSL. This is a problem since I am currently using Outlook Express v6 and it does not work with TSL. I recently discovered your Stunnel program and believe it will solve my problem. I tried changing the items in the configuration file to the following: fips = yes [cox-pop3] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:995 connect = pop.cox.net:995 verify = 2 CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = pop.cox.net OCSPaia = yes Stunnel shows no errors but my email still does not work. This is what happens when setting up the configuration for Outlook express: My POP account is pop.cox.net. My SMTP account is smtp.cox.net. If I set the POP port to 110 and leave the SMTP port to 25 and I have checked "logon using secure password authentication". But I do NOT have checked "this server requires a secure connection (SSL)". Then when I attempt to send/receive I get the following error: "Unable to logon to the server using secure password authentication account 'pop.cox.net server ...." If I do check "this server requires a secure connection (SSL)" and leave the POP port to 110 then when I attempt to send/receive I get the following error: "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection ..." If I change the POP port from 110 to 995 and remove the check mark for "this server require a secure connection (SSL)". Then when I attempt to send/receive I get a time out condition. If I check "this server requires a secure connection (SSL)" and attempt a send/receive I get this error: "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.." No matter how I configure my Outlook Express I do not receive any email. I have a friend who has a Windows 7 system and a virtual windows xp installed in it that he uses for his email but is using Outlook in windows xp and this same configuration works fine for him. Except he has to have "verify = 2" removed from the configuration for Stunnel and his SMTP port is 587. For it to work. What am I doing wrong? Please help!

Stunnel 5.55 on Win 10 x64 GUI Mode
by Thomas Eifert 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Tonight, I downloaded and installed Stunnel version 5.55 and installed it on Windows 10 x64 1903. If I run Stunnel as a service, everything works beautifully. No issues whatsoever. However, I just can't seem to get it to run in GUI mode. When I fire up the GUI, the configuration file loads fine with no errors. However, when attempting to establish any connection, the GUI simply crashes and the log file just terminates with nothing revealing: 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[main]: Service [ircs.3] accepted (FD=956) from 127.0.0.1:52874 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[main]: Creating a new thread 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[main]: New thread created 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: Service [ircs.3] started 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: Setting local socket options (FD=956) 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG5[0]: Service [ircs.3] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:52874 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG6[0]: s_connect: connecting 154.35.138.250:6697 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 154.35.138.250:6697: waiting 10 seconds 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: FD=1080 ifds=rwx ofds=--- (end of log) This is, of course, with the service stopped and de-installed. I've tried several remedies, including running Stunnel in compatibility modes, running it as an administrator, and I even tried to install it completely outside of the normal "program files (x86)" location. Also, the firewall is not the issue. Nothing seems to help. I can't figure out what on earth is occurring. Any insight/ideas would be appreciated.

HELP! SSLv3 to TLSv1.2
by Eric Eberhard 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

Everyone, It goes to show that even after having used stunnel forever there is more to learn. I have a weird problem. A remote site that has always used SSLv3 wants to use TLSv1.2 - normally that takes 5 seconds in the config file. However, the remote site supplied the software that sends to them . and does not supply a version we can use unless we upgrade O/S and JAVA and who knows what else for hundreds of customers. In four days. Normally stunnel takes in clear text and sends it out in whatever you like (TLSv1.2 in this case). And the reverse. Can it take in SSLv3 and convert to TLSv1.2? Of course conceptually this is easy and just a logical extension of stunnel - in practice, if not there, it would be a job. Which I might tackle - but I first wanted to get community input. And if anyone wants to get paid to do this for me, we can talk :) Thanks All, Eric Eric S Eberhard VICS (Vertical Integrated Computer Systems) Voice: 928 567 3529 Cell : 928 301 7537 (not reliable except for text or if not home) 2933 W Middle Verde Rd Camp Verde, AZ 86322 Oh - help me out and please join this group.

Re: [stunnel-users] RE stunnel process owner

We use it solely on 100s of our customer’s Unix computers. My suggestion (that not everyone agrees with) is to run it under inetd. Unix does not function without inetd (or related like xinetd). You don’t have to start or manage a server. It is dead reliable and when processes die it cleans it up and so forth. You connect to localhost on some port, have a configuration that directs it to the right place, off to the races. I am not sure what you mean by container hardening. When connecting to localhost it never touches the network – the TCP/IP goes directly to the TCP/IP stack on the local machine. I am really sure I don’t know what check out is :) If you give me more info I can probably be of more use.

Questions/comments about the 64-bit installer.
by Thomas Eifert 25 May '19

25 May '19

I just upgraded to Windows 10 pro x64. I attempted to install Stunnel version 5.55b1. I made a couple of basic observations that I'd like to pass along. 1. The installer attempts to install Stunnel in the windows "Program Files (x86) directory. I thought Stunnel is now a 64-bit program. As such, why does it attempt to install in that directory? 2. The new version of Stunnel doesn't seem to want to run under Windows 10. If I attempt to run it as an app, the program terminates when I attempt to establish a connection and pass traffic through it. Running it as a service, it passes a few dozen bytes of traffic, then stalls. Changing compatibility modes had little effect. 3. Stunnel version 5.49 runs beautifully under Win 10. I'll continue to use it until i find a newer version that works. Has anyone else had similar experience trying to use Stunnel under Win 10? If so, I'd like to know if you were able to resolve these issues.

I am observing the same behavior Mario is seeing with STunnel 5.54 on Windows Server 2012 R2 running as a client. In my case I am upgrading the client side from STunnel 5.01.

Connection never completes

I have Stunnel on two computers, both Win10 version 5.54. One works flawlessly on my home network, but the second will not complete the connection to POP3 Office365 on the work network. It gets to s_connect and freezes: 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[main]: Found 1 ready file descriptor(s) 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[main]: FD=220 ifds=r-x ofds=--- 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[main]: Service [POP3 Incoming] accepted (FD=780) from 127.0.0.1:51378 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[main]: Creating a new thread 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[main]: New thread created 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[2]: Service [POP3 Incoming] started 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[2]: Setting local socket options (FD=780) 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[2]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG5[2]: Service [POP3 Incoming] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:51378 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG6[2]: failover: priority, starting at entry #0 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG6[2]: s_connect: connecting 52.96.24.210:995 2019.05.21 22:50:19 LOG7[2]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 52.96.24.210:995: waiting 10 seconds The sessions stay active, but this is as far as they get.

I'm really hoping there is simply something missing from the Windows install. A coworker has the same problem on their fresh company provided Win10 install. My functioning Win10 pc is my personal machine. Thanks, Mario --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

hostapd & stunnel
by Johannes Eckhardt 20 May '19

Hi, I'm running stunnel 5.39 on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian 9 (stretch). The Pi has two network interfaces (eth0, wlan0) and I'm running an access point with hostapd. What I want to do is to route all traffic from my wifi-clients (connected via wlan0) through stunnel/socks. working iptables configuration to access the internet from eth0/wlan0: iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o wlan0 -m state --state \ RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE; if add the following lines (from stunnel.org) local traffic on eth0 goes to the stunnel-server but my wireless clients can't access the internet anymore. I tried several configurations, but without success... # stunnel socks iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d TARGET-SERVER --dport 9080 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 9050 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9051 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 9050 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9051 # /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf [SOCKS Client Direct] client = yes PSKsecrets = secrets.txt accept = :::9050 connect = TARGET-SERVER:9080 [SOCKS Client Transparent IPv4] client = yes PSKsecrets = secrets.txt accept = 127.0.0.1:9051 connect = TARGET-SERVER:9080 protocol = socks Has anyone a solution for that? Best regards, Johannes
