Stunnel and Eudora error
by EPPack 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

I installed stunnel on one of my laptops a few days ago, and it installed uneventfully. I set up one of my gmail accounts in Eudora per directions I got from another Eudora user, and the account works perfectly in Eudora. However, on this machine, I got an unexpected prompt that showed up in a cmd window during the install, which did NOT show up on the other machine: WARNING: can't open config file: /devel/win32/openssl/openssl.cnf Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key ...+++ ..................+++ Writing new private key to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config\stunnel.pem' ---- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank for some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ---- Country Name (2 letter code) [PL]: When I try for an inbound in Eudora, I get the "Error reading from network. Cause: connection aborted due to timeout or other failure (10053). Problem of course is that I'm also unsure if it installed fully/correctly. On the other machine, it installed itself uneventfully as a service, and after I started it (it came in as manual, unstarted), it was fine. This time, tho, it didn't show up in the list of services at all, even tho there was a prompt to start it, which I allowed it to do. That said, I did see it in the start menu, and was able to start it. I also rebooted, and it started up OK. However, after configuring one of my accounts the same way as on the other machine, it's not working, getting the timeout error above. Changed it back to the normal settings for GMail in Eudora, it worked fine, so it wasn't any other cause. I tried adding options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS to the conf, hopefully in the right place :) and also bumped the Eudora Advanced Network params as also suggested.Nada. The only difference between the two machines, both Windows 7 Pro, is that this one is a 64bit, the other not, which may well be the difference. As I'm new to stunnel, I looked for the manual, but got a 403 on the page.

Hello, My name is Mohamed Aymen, i'm an electronic payment engineer . I recently descovered Stunnel and i'm trying to make some developement and modifications and i need your help with points bellow: 1-steps for compilation on IBM AIX-7 plateform 2-possibility of adding a new source code file(.c) and compiling it with native stunnel files ===some clarifications about source code : 3-i would appreciate if you can indicate me : where exactly in source code i can find the code responsible for accepting buffer from client and the code responsible for accepting buffer (response) from server, also the code responsible for sending data to server and the code responsible for sending server's answer to client (all those on socket mode,on ssl mode and on tls mode) warm regards

Memory Leak in stunnel 5.31
by Fritz Gschwendner 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hello, we have a memory leak with stunnel 5.31 in server mode on Windows Server 2012. Page File Bytes of the stunnel process keep growing. The more traffic the faster it's growing, until memory is exhausted and client connects start to fail with: 2016.03.31 15:50:30 LOG3[main]: _beginthread: Exec format error (8) 2016.03.31 15:50:30 LOG3[main]: Connection rejected: create_client failed I suspect it has something to do with clients not closing the connection correctly. We have a lot of connections ending like this: 2016.03.31 09:21:48 LOG3[5156]: SSL_shutdown: Connection reset by peer (WSAECONNRESET) (10054) 2016.03.31 09:21:48 LOG5[5156]: Connection reset: 239 byte(s) sent to SSL, 722 byte(s) sent to socket Is my suspicion plausible? Can you recommend a change in the configuration to avoid this issue? Anything else I can do to debug? The config looks something like this: cert = C:\crt.pem key = C:\key.key ciphers = ALL:!DH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 verify = 2 CAfile = C:\All-In-One.pem [test] accept = 23456 connect = 10.10.10.10

Incoming port ignored
by Ivan De Masi 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hello, I have a strange problem with my stunnel since a view days: I installed stunnel, because my AV-Scanner (Avira) is not able to scan e-mail traffic of encrypted connections to my mailprovider. So I configured both mail-clients (Thunderbird & Outlook) and AV-Scanner to listen on localhost and stunnel to connect to my mailprovider. This was working fine for a view days, but stoped some days ago and I'm not shure why. Maybe when I installed stunnel as a daemon I run into trouble (will bw another subject). The encrypted connection to my mailprovider is working and e-mails are recived and sent, but the AV-scanner doesn't "see" them anymore. I examined the log and what makes me wonder is, that the when fetching the e-mails, the configured ports (110/143/25) seem to be ignored: "Service [df-pop3s] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:1878" or "Service [df-pop3s] accepted (FD=472) from 127.0.0.1:1882" The mails on my host are always bypassed on another port (the longer I run stunnel they change/increase) - see the log file. I have installed latest stunnel version (5.31) on Windows 7 (x86). Any ideas? Kind regards, Ivan Main-config: [df-pop3s] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:110 connect = sslin.df.eu:995 verify = 3 CAfile = peer-df-pop3s.pem checkHost = sslin.df.eu OCSPaia = yes [df-imaps] client =

Host1: [secure_telnet] accept = local:23 connect = host3:host3port1 client = yes Host3: [incoming_telnet] accept = host3:host3port1 connect = local:23 client = no If e.g. Host3 isn't directly reachable from Host1, a simple port forwarding (without decryption and re-encryption) on Host2 would suffice.

Connecting stunnels
by Juhasz Gabor 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hi, I am newbie in stunnel world so sorry for my question if it was already answered earlier. I have the following task to solve somehow : We have 1 server with 2 stunnel connections (any kind). We have e.g. http communicatoin via tunnels. Is there any support in stunnel to connect them somehow. Probably we do not need bidirectional communication. [client1]----- stunnel 1---> [server]------stunnel2 ----->[client2] So [client1] --> [client2] If there is no support in stunnel do you have any idea how to do it? Kind regards, Gabor

Please help

Installed stunnel-5.31 (stunnel-5.31-installer) so that I can get MT4, a Forex trade platform, to send me mails to my Gmail account. I was told this was necessary because MT4 doesn't support SSL Authentication. I attempted to start and received this; [image: Inline image 1] It looks like a config file issue but also would not bind? Is this one issue? I was told all I needed to do with the config file is this; [image: Inline image 2] Can you please simply help me with the config file? I'm lost and need help. Thanks to all in advance for your help.

Using stunnel for TLS with Geotrust cert?
by Jon Bogaty 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

Hey stunnel-users, I'm having an issue both on stunnel4 and on 5 which I think is more related to a lack of understanding of the difference between how stunnel uses intermediate chain certs and root CA certs. I have from Geotrust, who signs my SSL certs, an intermediate.crt which by the stunnel docs should be catted into one stunnel.pem with the cert for my domain and the private key. The issue is when I setup everything on the server and try to connect with a client I either get for "verify 2" warnings about MiTM authentication problems, or for "verify 3" or "verify 4", which should disable CA checking altogether to my understanding, "Please specify CApath". I feel like I'm missing something critical in terms of pieces. The goal is to use stunnel as a proxy for mysql and the conf is pretty barebones: sslVersion = TLSv1 setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 pid = /var/lib/stunnel4/stunnel4.pid debug = 7 foreground = yes socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem verify = 3 [mysqls] accept = 3307 connect = localhost:3306 It runs just fine using supervisor. Any thoughts and how I could make the handshake work between server and client using geotrust's intermediate crt as the CA cert, or something similar? It contains certs down to the root level. Thanks! Jon

Install directory with /S /D=[path]
by Yoshitake, Aaron 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi all, I'm making an installer that installs stunnel as a dependency, and I'd like to customize its install directory while running it in silent mode. Per the NSIS docs, my command has the /S switch for silent mode, but when I try /D=[path], the installer ignores it and installs to Program Files (x86)/stunnel anyway. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks, Aaron

Minor bug in resolver.c
by Jose Alf. 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hello Michal, I found a small bug on resolver.c. In function addrlist_resolve, in source line 318 for version 5.31, there is the instruction: num+=name2addrlist(addr_list, host->name) I think It should be: num = name2addrlist(addr_list, host->name) I found this because I created a service with three connect lines, like this: [ldaps] client=yes accept=127.0.0.1:7000 connect=10.1.1.1:636 connect=10.2.2.2:636 connect=10.3.2.3:636 And I found this line in the log: 2016.03.15 22:23:34 LOG6[0]: failover: round-robin, starting at entry #6 #6? It should be <= #2 ! I checked the source code, added some s_log instructions and found that the problem. For 3 addresses num variable was set to 6 (1 + 2 + 3) and that was returned by addrlist_resolve. Hope this helps. And thanks again for your hard work on stunnel. Best Regards Jose A. Diaz

Possible signal handling bug in fork mode
by Philippe Anctil 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hi, In fork mode, sending a sigterm signal to a child is caught by the parent. I suspect it has something to do with signal_pipe being shared by the child and parent after the fork. Here I sent a signal to the parent while a child process was also running. The parent shut down as expected. After sending sigterm, the child remains. Processes before sigterm: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY STAT TIME CMD user 1423 1 0 10:32 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/local/stunnel/bin/stunnel.bin /usr/local/stunnel/etc/server.conf user 1921 1423 0 10:37 ?

S 0:00 /usr/local/stunnel/bin/stunnel.bin /usr/local/stunnel/etc/server.conf Here I sent the signal to the child. The parent shut down and the child completed normally. Processes before: UID PID PPID C STIME TTY STAT TIME CMD user 1276 1 0 10:31 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/local/stunnel/bin/stunnel.bin /usr/local/stunnel/etc/server.conf user 1309 1276 0 10:31 ?

S 0:00 /usr/local/stunnel/bin/stunnel.bin /usr/local/stunnel/etc/server.conf I know I should be trying threads. I will eventually. I can only switch once I validate it can sustain our level of traffic. Fork has done that flawlessly for many years now. Best regards, -- Philippe Anctil

windows certificate store
by Jim Howland 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hi I am running a windows instance of stunnel as a client and A Linux version as the server When I set this on the Windows side : engine = capi and this in my section: engineId = capi I get an error message that CApath or CAFile still needs to be set. My understanding is that these setting should make stunnel use the Windows certificate store to find a root and intermediate certificate to authenticate my (Symantec generated) certificate and should not require a CAfile. Here is my windows config : ; ************************************************************************** ; * Global options * ; ************************************************************************** ; Debugging stuff (may be useful for troubleshooting) debug = debug ;output = stunnel.log ; Enable FIPS 140-2 mode if needed for compliance ;fips = yes ; Microsoft CryptoAPI engine allows for authentication with private keys ; stored in the Windows certificate store ; Each section using this feature also needs the "engineId = capi" option engine = capi [FIX] client = yes accept = 9021 connect = fixuat.au.abnamroclearing.com:9443<http://fixuat.au.abnamroclearing.com:9443> cert = C:\certs\jim.howland.cer key = C:\certs\jim.howland.key verify = 3 ; CAfile = C:\certs\veriSign_root_certificates\symantec-class3-G5.cer engineId = capi and here is the error [ ] Cron thread initialized [ ] No limit detected for the number of clients [.] stunnel 5.31 on x86-pc-msvc-1500 platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2g-fips 1 Mar 2016 [.] Threading:WIN32 Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI [ ] errno: (*_errno()) [ ] GUI message loop initialized [.] Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf [.] UTF-8 byte order mark detected [ ] Enabling support for engine "capi" [ ] Initializing engine #1 (capi) [ ] Engine #1 (capi) initialized [.] FIPS mode disabled [ ] Compression disabled [ ] Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd [ ] Wrote 0 new random bytes to C:/.rnd [ ] PRNG seeded successfully [ ] Initializing service [FIX] [!] Service [FIX]: Either "CAfile" or "CApath" has to be configured [!] Server is down Any ideas?

Error 1408F10B talking to Active Directory on port 636
by Matthew Slowe 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi all! We’ve been using stunnel as part of a vendor supplied product for some time to connect a large application running in an application server on Windows to Active Directory for authentication via LDAPS (for some reason, it only natively supports LDAP!). Anyway, it’s been working fine until a couple of weeks ago when we started getting intermittent failures against all of our configured Domain Controllers (the upstream LDAPS servers). With no change in STunnel or DC config, some connections would abort with the following log: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number … while others worked fine. The error is not limited to any one of the upstream DCs nor does it occur for every request. We’ve updated STunnel to the latest version (5.31) and the problem remains running on Windows 2008 R2 SP1. Below are two transactions from the same instance of STunnel connecting to the same DC one which works and one which doesn’t (IP addresses obfuscated). Config in use: {{{ client = yes debug = 7 output = e:\prog\stunnel\stunnel.log options = NO_SSLv2 [ldaps] accept = localhost:389 connect = domain.local:636 }}} Any thoughts gratefully received!

CRL checking
by Fritz Gschwendner 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hello, I noticed a change in functionality of CRL checking in server mode somewhere between stunnel version 5.2.00 and 5.31.00. We have multiple services listening for incoming connections and a global option CRLfile = crls.pem, with crls.pem containing a few CRLs but not one for every possible client certificate, and client certificates not all having a CRL distribution point configured. This worked with the old version in the sense that all clients could connect. I don't know If CRL checking really worked, they are all empty and I can't test. With the new version client certificates with no CRL and no CRL distribution point configured got rejected with errors "CERT: Pre-verification error: unable to get certificate CRL" and "SSL_accept: 14089086: error:14089086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_client_certificate:certificate verify failed" If I remove the global entry for CRLfile with the new version, all clients can connect again. I guess I could enter the CRLfile option on service level, but it could be that some client certificates connecting to a specific service have a CRL and some don't. My questions: Is this intended behaviour? I find it logical to check the CRL of a client certificate, if there is one in the CRLfile, if there isn't, to not check. Does a CRL distribution point configured in a client certificate play any role?

Problem with Stunnel 5.31 and Openssl 1.0.2g
by Carter Browne 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

I have a confusing problem I cannot figure out: I have two systems: one Redhat 5.10 x86, the other CentOs 5.10 x86 I compiled openssl version 1.0.2g on both systems I compiled stunnel 5.31 on both systems In both cases, this was updating older working verions of openssl and stunnel. On the Redhat system I used gcc44 On the CentOS system i used gcc4.1 The CentOS system works as before. On the Redhat system all self signed certificates are rejected. As I only use self-signed certificates to identify a set of known hosts, this is a problem for me. I tried various verify optios (2 3 4) both nothing changed. Any idea on how to fix this problem. What information can I provide you with to help? Thanks, Carter Carter Browne cbrowne(a)cbcs-usa.com

Slow sending email through stunnel to Office365
by ajreynolds＠san.rr.com 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

After a bit of experimentation, I've succeeded in getting stunnel 5.31 running on my Windows 2008 r2 server and sending email through SMTP through Office365. My problem now is that it's quite slow. I can see a point in the log file where it stops for 5 seconds or more for each email message. Are there any parameter for stunnel that might help, or do I have to just accept that Office365 is slow? Here is my stunnel.conf file: debug = 7 output = stunnel.log [ms-smtp] protocol = smtp client = yes accept = 587 connect = smtp.office365.com:587 And here is the log file for an email transmission.

How to build Stunnel on x64 Windows by VC with right alignment memory allocation functions
by zuz666＠gmail.com 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Hello! I need to compile stunnel using VC for Windows x64 platform. I know that I can use MinGW/gcc and it will work, but VC used to build all other libraries and I want to simplify assembly process. I am try build stunnel by VC for Windows x64 platform and it builds fine but after start, stunnel crashed in VC runtime after calling setjmp function in client.c : /* try to process the request */ err=setjmp(c->err); I did some researches of the reason of a problem and found the following comment in prototypes.h: jmp_buf err; /* exception handler needs to be 16-byte aligned on Itanium */ The memory for CLI struct allocated by str_alloc_detached function (jmp_buf uded in definition CLI struct), but jmp_buf for AMD64/x64 must be 16-byte aligned to save state of SSE registers. Function calloc used for memory allocation in str_alloc_detached function and sometimes it return pointers not aligned to 16-byte boundary what causes a problem. I create dummy patch to workaround the problem but am think the best solution in that case is to use malloc instead calloc function (as described in some articles it’s always 16-byte aligned on AMD64 VC builds). Can you suggest some solutions to this problem? prototypes.h @@ -404,6 +404,10 @@ typedef struct { uint64_t sock_bytes, ssl_bytes; /* bytes written to socket and SSL */ s_poll_set *fds; /* file descriptors */ uintptr_t redirect; /* redirect to another destination after failed auth */ + /* New member added by Zuz to work around setjmp alignment issues */ +#if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_WIN64) + void *cli_struct_free_ptr; /* Ptr to unaligned address for this struct */ +#endif } CLI; client.c @@ -76,8 +76,14 @@ NOEXPORT void reset(SOCKET, char *); CLI *alloc_client_session(SERVICE_OPTIONS *opt, SOCKET rfd, SOCKET wfd) { static unsigned long long seq=0; CLI *c; - +#if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_WIN64) + #define CLI_STRUCT_ALIGNMENT 15 + void *cli_ptr_unaligned = str_alloc_detached(sizeof(CLI) + CLI_STRUCT_ALIGNMENT); + c = (CLI *)(((uintptr_t)cli_ptr_unaligned+CLI_STRUCT_ALIGNMENT) & ~ (uintptr_t)0x0F); + c->cli_struct_free_ptr = cli_ptr_unaligned; +#else c=str_alloc_detached(sizeof(CLI)); +#endif c->opt=opt; c->local_rfd.fd=rfd; c->local_wfd.fd=wfd; @@ -117,7 +123,13 @@ void client_main(CLI *c) { * -> spawn a local program instead of stdio */ for(;;) { SERVICE_OPTIONS *opt=c->opt; +#if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_WIN64) + void *cli_ptr_unaligned = c->cli_struct_free_ptr; +#endif memset(c, 0, sizeof(CLI)); /* connect_local needs clean c */ +#if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_WIN64) + c->cli_struct_free_ptr = cli_ptr_unaligned; +#endif c->opt=opt; if(!setjmp(c->err)) c->local_rfd.fd=c->local_wfd.fd=connect_local(c); @@ -136,7 +148,11 @@ void client_main(CLI *c) { } } else client_run(c); - str_free(c); +#if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_WIN64) + str_free(c->cli_struct_free_ptr); +#else + str_free(c); +#endif } #ifdef __GNUC__ -- Yuris W.

Version 4.29: First connection fails with "Unexpected socket close (read_blocking)"
by Matthew 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, I am experiencing an issue with version 4.29, which is the version available on yum for centos6. I am getting the following error: "Unexpected socket close (read_blocking)". This error only occurs once per stunnel instance upon the first connection only. More recent versions of stunnel do not have this problem, but I am hoping to work around this issue on the default version for this OS. My hosts.allow and hosts.deny files are both empty. I have tried adding my services to hosts.allow, but it did not have any noticeble effect. This is the version that I am using (installed with "yum install stunnel"): $ stunnel -version stunnel 4.29 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE,FIPS Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = FIPS key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = TLSv1 TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none This is what my demonstration setup looks like: nc_client --TCP--> stunnel_client (2000) --SSL--> stunnel_server (2100) --TCP--> nc_server (2200) Steps to reproduce: (1) Start the netcat TCP server. $ nc -l 2200 (2) Leave the server open and open a new terminal for the rest of the commands. (3) Create “client_config.txt” with the following contents: pid = /tmp/client_stunnel.pid debug = 7 output = /tmp/client_stunnel.log client = yes ciphers = ALL fips = no foreground = no [CLIENT_PROXY_0] accept = 0.0.0.0:2000 connect = 127.0.0.1:2100 (4) Create “server_config.txt” with the following contents: pid = /tmp/server_stunnel.pid debug = 7 output = /tmp/server_stunnel.log client = no ciphers = ALL fips = no cert = /tmp/server_stunnel.pem foreground = no [SVR_PROXY_0] accept = 0.0.0.0:2100 connect = 127.0.0.1:2200 (4) Start the stunnel client: $ cat client_config.txt | stunnel -fd 0 (5) Start the stunnel server: $ cat server_config.txt | stunnel -fd 0 (6) Send three sequential messages through stunnel to the netcat server: $ echo "Test 1" | nc 127.0.0.1 2000 $ echo "Test 2" | nc 127.0.0.1 2000 $ echo "Test 3" | nc 127.0.0.1 2000 (7) You should see only “Test 3” appear at the netcat server. “Test 1” will have failed to pass from the stunnel client to the stunnel server and the log will report an "Unexpected socket close (read_blocking)” error. “Test 2” is not the first connection for the stunnel client, so it will pass through to the stunnel server successfully. But because it is the first connection for the stunnel server, it will fail there with the same error. “Test 3” is not the first connection for either the stunnel client or stunnel server, so it will make it through successfully to the netcat server. All subsequent connections will work. Basically my question is: Is there any way to make this setup work on the first connection with version 4.29, or is a new version necessary? Thanks, Matthew

How to use stunnel as a HTTPS to HTTPS reverse proxy
by Claudio Beretta 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

I'd like Stunnel to act as a reverse proxy that accepts TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.2 for https://example.com and then forwards the traffic to https://example.net, another web server that only accepts TLS 1.2 browser --TLS 1.0 or 1.2--> Stunnel --TLS 1.2--> Web App The browser should have no idea that example.net even exists (only example.com certificate will be presented to the browser). Is this something Stunnel can do? This is what I got so far: cert = example.com.pem ;stunnel.pem [proxy1] client = yes accept = 10.100.4.179:443 connect = localhost:54323 CAfile = sca.server1.crt.pem ;verify = 2 [proxy2] client = no accept = localhost:54323 connect = example.net:443 ;CAfile = SymantecClass3EVSSLCA-G3.pem example.com.pem contains the public and decrypted private key for example.com sca.server1.crt.pem contains the intermediate and root certificates of the CA that issues the example.com.pem certificate It partially works: the browser shows example.com in the address bad and the content of example.net, but the certificate that is returned is from example.net What am I doing wrong? Or do you have other recommendations to get something like this working on Windows Server 2008 R2? (IIS + Application Request Routing + URL Rewrite won't work: TLS1.2 is not properly supported) Thank you Claudio

User-agent string
by Josh Rabinowitz 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Is there a way to force stunnel to use a specific user-agent string? I have mulled through documentation, this list, and other places with no results. The reason I ask, is the proxy I am going through is super strict, well not really. It will accept 'lynx' as a user-agent (among others), but it needs something. I cannot figure out how to tell stunnel to use something like this. 5.30 on both ends, here is debug 7 from the client (IPs changed for privacy) after a config reload and ssh attempt: 2016.02.22 09:22:08 LOG5[main]: Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf 2016.02.22 09:22:08 LOG5[main]: UTF-8 byte order mark not detected 2016.02.22 09:22:08 LOG5[main]: FIPS mode disabled 2016.02.22 09:22:08 LOG5[main]: Configuration successful 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: Service [ssh] started 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG5[4]: Service [ssh] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:56690 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG6[4]: failover: round-robin, starting at entry #1 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG6[4]: s_connect: connecting [webproxyIP]:8080 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: s_connect: s_poll_wait [webproxyIP]:8080: waiting 10 seconds 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG5[4]: s_connect: connected [webproxyIP]:8080 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG5[4]: Service [ssh] connected remote server from [clientIP]:56691 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: Remote descriptor (FD=844) initialized 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: -> CONNECT [remoteIP]:443 HTTP/1.1 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: -> Host: [remoteIP]:443 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: -> 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG3[4]: CONNECT request rejected 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- Cache-Control: no-cache 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- Pragma: no-cache 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- Proxy-Connection: close 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- Connection: close 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- Content-Length: 3164 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: <- 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG5[4]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: Remote descriptor (FD=844) closed 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: Local descriptor (FD=1116) closed 2016.02.22 09:22:15 LOG7[4]: Service [ssh] finished (0 left) client config: cert = stunnel.pem client = yes [ssh] accept = 127.0.0.1:2222 protocol= connect connect = [webproxyIP]:8080 protocolHost = [remoteIP]:443 PSKsecrets = psk1.txt debug = 7 Confirmed working from other hosts outside of this network.
