Hi, I have a problem using stunnel with mIRC: I was using a pretty old version of stunnel.exe that was packed with a mIRC script and could be ran as a command-line-only application without a configuration file (supplying all necessary informations parameters). I know that current mIRC version have their own ssl support, but I prefer an old version without because it has much better performance. The old one was used by "stunnel.exe -c -d localhost:<localport> -r <irc-server-ip>:<irc-server-port>" in command line and "/server localhost:<localport>" in irc. A few of my servers stopped supporting an old ssl version, this old stunnel.exe is no longer compatible to the new (open)ssl dll files and so I had to upgrade to the most recent version of stunnel - and I have some problems make it run properly. Here you can see my configuration file (stunnel.conf): ; Sample stunnel configuration file for Win32 by Michal Trojnara 2002-2012 ; Some options used here may be inadequate for your particular configuration ; This sample file does *not* represent stunnel.conf defaults ; Please consult the manual for detailed description of available options ; ************************************************************************** ; * Global options * ; ************************************************************************** ; Debugging stuff (may useful for troubleshooting) ;debug = 7 ;output = stunnel.log ; Disable FIPS mode to allow non-approved protocols and algorithms ;fips = no ; ************************************************************************** ; * Service defaults may also be specified in individual service sections * ; ************************************************************************** ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode ;cert = stunnel.pem ;key = stunnel.pem ; Authentication stuff needs to be configured to prevent MITM attacks ; It is not enabled by default!

The second line shows the new incoming connection from my mIRC. The third line? ... I got no clue why it has to block anything. The fourth line: Successfully connected to IRC-Server? And then the fifth line occurs. I'm not sure if I interpret it right, but for some reason tstunnel.exe is kicking out my connected mIRC client which makes mIRC to tell me "[10053] Software caused connection abort". The whole lines in mIRC are: [12:34pm] * Connect retry #1 localhost (7003) ------------------------------------------------------------ [12:34pm] * [10053] Software caused connection abort ------------------------------------------------------------ [12:34pm] * Disconnected By the way, I have packed libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll, stunnel.conf and tstunnel.exe in a subdir in mIRC directory and I'm starting it using "tstunnel.exe stunnel.conf" When this error occurs, I have to kill tstunnel.exe and start it again - then everything works fine again. For 1 of 4 servers, I also had this error with the old command-line stunnel.exe and I just wrote a script killing (only this) stunnel.exe and restarting it when this mIRC error occurs. Unfortunately this is no longer possible when tstunnel.exe is using a configuration file and one process is managing all connections. Is there any way I can fix this? (Maybe by fixing the logout of my local mIRC from my local tstunnel.exe?) Best regards

Init script
by Alan Chester 29 Aug '13

Hello, I am currently working on using stunnel. I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on the creation of an init script for stunnel. This would help insure that the connections are brought up after a reboot. Or what is the best way to go about handling this? Thanks, Alan

no certificate available safari browser
by Scott McKeown 28 Aug '13

Hi Libin, If possible can you send over your STunnel config file but my guess would be that you would need to include your Root CA and Intermediate CA certificates into your PEM file. I would check to see what https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html says about your certificates another quick test would be to have a look at http://www.digicert.com/help/ to see what they also say about the certificate chains. ~Scott Hi all, > > Sever OS: Linux/Centos 5.9 > SSLServer: Stunnel > ErrorMessage: no certificate available > CertType: SSL Web Server Certificate > Client Browser: Safari 5.1. > Client OS: OS X Lion > > When i am trying to hit the URL on safari browser it shows me the messages > "no certificate available" > No certificate meet the application .

Build failure for ARM32 with Yocto
by Laszlo Papp 22 Aug '13

Hi, if I build stunnel manually on my desktop machine (Archlinux), it works fine. However, when I am trying to use a Yocto/OE recipe for building it for my arm32 target, I am facing the issue below. Anyone any hint?

Problem Selecting Only Ecliptic Curve Ciphers
by Carter Browne 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

I'm using stunnel 4.56 on Windows 7. When I use the following cipher list: ciphers = ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA to establish a connection, I get a "no shared cipher" response. The following set of ciphers does work: ciphers = ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA Other relevant settings: options = NO_SSLv2 sslVersion = all fips = no verify = 2 If I take out the first ECDHE-RSA-ASE256-SHA cipher from the list, the ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA cipher is selected. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. -- Carter Browne cbrowne(a)cbcs-usa.com
