Hi, I am using stunnes 4.54, my config looks like this: chroot = /opt/stunnel/jail/ setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 syslog = yes debug = local1.warning fips = no [http] cert = /opt/stunnel/www.crt key = /opt/stunnel/www.key sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 renegotiation = no accept = 192.168.72.10:443 connect = 192.168.71.10:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 xforwardedfor = yes My log is full with: Oct 25 14:49:33 www stunnel: LOG3[15114:140668359968512]: transfer: s_poll_wait: TIMEOUTclose exceeded: closing Oct 25 14:49:36 www stunnel: LOG3[15114:140668360591104]: transfer: s_poll_wait: TIMEOUTclose exceeded: closing Oct 25 14:50:08 www stunnel: LOG3[15114:140668360812288]: transfer: s_poll_wait: TIMEOUTclose exceeded: closing Oct 25 14:50:13 www stunnel: LOG3[15114:140668360591104]: transfer: s_poll_wait: TIMEOUTclose exceeded: closing The doc suggests to "set to 0 for buggy MSIE" the mailing list tells me "You requested close timeout of 0 seconds and that's exactly what you get." But i still don't understand why this is an error and what can I do to get rid of it? Or is it okay to don't look for errors in the log? Regards, Michael

Hi, Michal. Good news about the update! I noticed that this version, the one for Windows installation, has many more files in it than the last version. It's no problem, but I was just wondering why the change this time? Thanks.

Safest suggested client/server stunnel configurations to prevent MITM attacks
by Michael K. Avanessian 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

I'm currently tunneling SSH over SSL using stunnel. I thought that stunneled ssh data was safe. However, recently I've read that if going through a sophisticated http/https proxy, it's possible to be hacked by a "legitimate" mitm attack to fool an SSL client. Is it still possible to configure stunnel so that ssl can't be compromised between both ends? I'm going to take a wild guess here; which I'm sure I'm probably wrong. But, could I just install stunnel; and, let it create automatically a self-signed (stunnel.pem) certificate file... then just copy that file to the stunnel install on the other end? That way both sides are already aware of each other's public keys; and, wouldn't be vulnerable during the initial unencrypted handshake? I'm sure I'm probably way off; and, there's more I need to do in stunnel's configuration to further ensure the SSL won't be compromised.. such as the stunnel "verify" setting. I'm not sure which setting to have it; and, what it actually does. I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this with simple suggested client--> server configs that would keep ssl uncompromised as much as possible. Thanks in advance!

Need help building FIPS capable Stunnel for Windows CE
by Bao, Robert 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

I am attempting to build a FIPS-capable Openssl for an XScale processor (ARMV4I) running under Windows CE 5.0 (using openssl-1.0.1c and openssl-fips-2.0.1), that was successful. Then I built the latest Stunnel (just released few days ago) with FIPS option turned on. The build appears to complete successfully. However, at run-time, entering FIPS mode fails and the following messages are produced: error stack: 2D079089 : error:2D079089:FIPS routines:fips_pkey_signature_test:test failure FIPS_mode_set: 2D06B06F: error:2D06B06F:FIPS routines:FIPS_check_incore_fingerprint:fingerprint does not match I have reviewed the build instructions outlined in the OpenSSL FIPS user guide carefully and believe all the build instructions have been adhered to. What needs to be changed for the signature to be properly embedded? Robert Bao Tyco

Unable to Stop Service - Windows XP SP3 x86
by Thomas Eifert 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

I just uninstalled Stunnel version 4.53 and replaced it with 4.54 on my Windows XP SP3 x86 machine. What I generally do is stop the service, uninstall the service, then uninstall Stunnel prior to installing the new version. When I attempted to stop the version 4.53 service via the start menu shortcut, I was unsuccessful; all that happened was that the Stunnel status/log window would launch. This was repeatable. Likewise, when I attempted to stop it from an elevated command prompt using stunnel.exe -stop, the result was the same. I am administrator on this machine. I launched services.msc, and was able to stop it from there without any difficulty. After I installed 4.54, just to see what would happen, I attempted to stop the service again using the same methods. Same result.. I just can't do it in the conventional manner. I checked to ensure that there was only one Stunnel service/process running, and that checks out okay. Not sure if others are seeing this issue, but thought I'd better let someone know about it. Thanks for the new version! Regards, Thomas -- Attention: This message and all attachments are private and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.

Client Authentication and CRL Verification
by Jean-Philippe Constant 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, I am using stunnel in server mode with mutual authentication. The PKI used to authenticate my client is the following : root CA -> Intermediate CA -> Client. My stunnel configuration is : CAfile = RootCA.pem CRLfile = IntermediateCACRL.pem verify = 2 RootCA.pem contains the Root CA certificate IntermediateCACRL.pem contains the CRL file of the Intermediate CA The client authentication with client certificate goes well. The problem occurs when a client certificate is revoked. After the Intermediate CA CRL updates, the client certificate is still accepted whereas it should be refused. With the following configuration the revoked certificate is refused : CAfile = IntermediateCA.pem CRLfile = IntermediateCACRL.pem verify = 2 but I would prefer using the first configuration. Everything happens like if stunnel checks the crl only for the CA certificate and not for the whole certification chain. Thank you for your answers, Jean-Philippe Constant

SSL proxy in Windows - IP Address Issue
by Brian McGinity 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Thank you so much for stunnel. This program is amazing!!!! In Windows, I'd like to move SSL processing out of Apache and into stunnel. Is there a way for Apache to know the client's ip address? - In Windows, "transparent" mode is unavailable - "xforwardedfor" is for smtp and not https connections - "protocol = proxy" is for Haproxy only? Brian
