What do your stunnel configuration files look like? Other problem: mysql client may decide to use a local domain socket when connecting to localhost, thwarting your attempts to go via Stunnel.

DH parameters
by yyy 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hello! How to specify custom DH parameters? There is an option for specifying ECDH curve (curve option), but not for ordinary DH. Searching man page for "DH" did not yield anything. Searching this list archive for "DH paramaeters" found only some default error messages.

Issue with -quiet option (Windows 2000 Server SP4)
by rtr purchase 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hello, Thank you for STunnel. I've been using BLAT command line mailer for years at a client's site to send system status messages to me. Recently the client switched to ATT's SSL protected email. Blat does not support SSL. STunnel to the rescue. I started with ver. 4.39. I wanted to start and stop the STUNNEL service via script commands but found that the -quiet switch did not suppress the OK message box consistently. This naturally stopped the script from continuing. This was true of both the -start and -stop functions but was more of an issue with the -stop function. While looking through the documentation to see what I might be doing wrong, I saw that 4.40 was released (the day after I downloaded 4.39). 4.40 has the same issue with the -quiet switch but the addition of the -exit switch allowed me to start and stop STUNNEL without running it as a service. Great timing! I had tested my scripts using a Windows 7 machine where they functioned as expected. It was only when I moved them to the client's Windows 2000 Server (SP4) that this issue appeared.

Thank you so much for making RPMs for me~=D Mr. Jack Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:20:04 -0700 From: josealf(a)rocketmail.com Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] 4.39 RPM To: jackliu92(a)hotmail.com; stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org Jack, Take a look at my RPMs for CentOS 5. These follow the same conventions as the official RPMS:- By default log to authpriv instead of daemon facility- sample config file adjusted.- I also set the /etc/init.d/stunnel init script executable Binaries were compiled with gcc 4.4. Should work on similar systems (RHEL 5, Scientific Linux 5, Oracle Linux 5 or later). You should be able to build your own binaries starting from the source rpm.

misconfiguration of transparent proxy
by Marco Strullato 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi all, is there any way to use stunnel to proxy a connection without using encryption? I have an application that is listening on 0.0.0.0:port but which refuses connection if not coming from localhost:port and that application is reachable only with telnet, with no encryption. I have found a possible configuration that is the following: chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ setuid = nobody setgid = nobody pid = /stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log transparent=yes [AppSrv01] accept = 5776 connect = 4776 [AppSrv02] accept = 5777 connect = 4777 but it seems not working: that is the log. 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: stunnel 4.15 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: 500 clients allowed 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 4 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 5 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 6 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: AppSrv01 bound to 0.0.0.0:5776 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 7 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: AppSrv02 bound to 0.0.0.0:5777 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: Created pid file /stunnel.pid 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: AppSrv01 accepted FD=8 from 10.0.1.11:41922 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 started 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 8 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: Cleaning up the signal pipe 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG6[30376:47349987463360]: Child process 30384 finished with code 0 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: Connection from 10.0.1.11:41922 permitted by libwrap 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG5[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 connected from 10.0.1.11:41922 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG3[30376:1094314304]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG5[30376:1094314304]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 finished (0 left) and from the standard out I get: 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /home/user/.rnd 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /home/user/.rnd 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: PRNG seeded successfully 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Certificate: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Key file: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SSL context initialized for service AppSrv01 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Certificate: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Key file: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SSL context initialized for service AppSrv02 What happens connecting with telnet is: Trying 10.0.2.140...

stunnel 4.40b1
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Dear Users, I have just added a new Windows GUI menu to save peer certificate chains. Please to give it a try and let me know if there are any issues, so I can fix them in the final stunnel 4.40: ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/stunnel-4.40b1-installer.exe Another useful function would probably be a replacement for Unix c_rehash script. 8-) I also appreciate your comments are suggestions related to the new functionality. Best regards, Mike
