Odd stunnel problem
by Phil Smith III 26 Jan '23

26 Jan '23

Well, odd to me. I use K9, a free Bayesian spam proxy I've used for ~20 years. It doesn't do TLS. So I have: Outlook <-> K9 <-> stunnel <-> Internet for email connections. This morning I wasn't getting anything on my dozen or so POP connections that go through that (Exchange email was fine). Restarted Outlook (making sure it had really closed), no joy. Then I noticed that while doing a mail check, K9 was throbbing for long periods. There's not much to do with K9, so next I looked at stunnel, whose log was full of: 2023.01.26 09:39:26 LOG3[18110]: No more addresses to connect 2023.01.26 09:39:36 LOG3[18111]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 146.20.147.244:995: TIMEOUTconnect exceeded Reloaded stunnel config and all is well. So, not a big deal, but.any guesses what was going on here? stunnel 5.57, Windows 10.

Stunnel activity issue
by Денис Голубятников 26 Jan '23

I have problems with stunnel on OS Windows. After a successful connection with stunnel, the connection drops after approximately 9 minutes of inactivity. On Linux, this problem was solved by changing this parametrs: net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 60 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 30 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 20 I don't have access to the server side router, so I can't change anything.

STunnel not passing traffic
by Gary Jackson 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

I have an application that sends XML encrypted traffic over TCP to Stunnel. Stunnel is supposed to unencrypt and send to backend application unencrypted, however no traffic is sent. I have used wireshark and I do see the client hello for tls1.2 and the server hello for tls 1.2 so the cipher negotiation is completed. Here is my config: sslVersionMax = TLSv1.2 options = -NO_SSLv3 [https] accept = 27015 connect = 27001 cert = cert.pem key = key.pem TIMEOUTclose = 0 STunnel Log in Debug 7 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Service [https] started 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Setting local socket options (FD=1888) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG5[16572]: Service [https] accepted connection from xx.xx.xx.xx:62478 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG6[16572]: Peer certificate not required 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): before SSL initialization 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): before SSL initialization 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Decrypt session ticket callback 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Initializing application specific data for session authenticated 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: SNI: no virtual services defined 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS read client hello 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write server hello 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write certificate 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write key exchange 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write server done 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write server done 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS read client key exchange 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS read change cipher spec 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS read finished 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Generate session ticket callback 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Initializing application specific data for session authenticated 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Deallocating application specific data for session connect address 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write session ticket 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write change cipher spec 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: TLS state (accept): SSLv3/TLS write finished 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 33 server accept(s) requested 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 33 server accept(s) succeeded 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 0 server renegotiation(s) requested 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 0 session reuse(s) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 1 internal session cache item(s) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 0 internal session cache fill-up(s) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 0 internal session cache miss(es) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 0 external session cache hit(s) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: 0 expired session(s) retrieved 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG6[16572]: TLS accepted: new session negotiated 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG6[16572]: TLSv1.2 ciphersuite: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256-bit encryption) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG3[16572]: SSL_get_peer_tmp_key: Peer suddenly disconnected 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Compression: null, expansion: null 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Deallocating application specific data for session connect address 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG6[16572]: s_connect: connecting 127.0.0.1:27001 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 127.0.0.1:27001: waiting 10 seconds 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: FD=1472 ifds=rwx ofds=--- 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG5[16572]: s_connect: connected 127.0.0.1:27001 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG6[16572]: persistence: 127.0.0.1:27001 cached 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG5[16572]: Service [https] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:56732 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Setting remote socket options (FD=1472) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on remote socket 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Remote descriptor (FD=1472) initialized 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG6[16572]: SSL_read: Socket is closed 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG6[16572]: TLS socket closed (SSL_read) 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Sent socket write shutdown 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG5[16572]: Connection closed: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Remote descriptor (FD=1472) closed 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Local descriptor (FD=1888) closed 2023.01.13 14:03:42 LOG7[16572]: Service [https] finished (1 left) Any assistance you can provide would be glorious! _________________________________ Gary Jackson

Self signed certificate check
by Bob Bob 20 Nov '22

20 Nov '22

Hi, I have two Windows based stations with one hosting a specific service. Stunnel is used to create a secure connection. As stated on the auth page, I have implemented PSK to prevent MITM Attack but also as a way to authenticate connections and limit who can connect to the server. I would like to add an extra layer of security by having the Server only accept connections when the client submits a pre-agreed self cert. verifyPeer does not seem to work with self certificate. I would like to end up with PSK + certificate check. Is there a way to achieve that with self certificate on Stunnel? Thanks.

Two certificates on same connection
by perisnagini＠gmail.com 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

hi, I am into implementations and generally use stunnel with a certification provided by our third party connections in stunnel for encryption/ decryption both ways. Recently we had a query from one of our vendors stating we must use one cert to encrypt which they will decrypt using the key provided by us and they will encrypt which must be decrypted using the key provided. Keeping it simple we have below: Client Key - clt.pem Client cert - clt.cer Vendor key - vndr.pem our ca certs - ca-cert.pem Could anyone help me in understanding how do I leverage vendor key for decrypting and clt key for encrypting in stunnel.conf using the above certs. Many Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to get a system notification email back up and running after google disabled the "use less secure apps" functionality in the Gmail platform. I have set up the Gmail account to use an app password which I assigned to the system that was sending emails before this change. It appears the system is now connecting to Stunnel running on a windows 10 machine and Stunnel is making the connection with the Gmail server again, but no email actually gets sent out. I am running Stunnel 5.66 Here is the configuration currently: [gmail-smtp] client = yes accept = 25 connect = smtp.gmail.com:465 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = smtp.Gmail.com OCSPaia = yes Here is a copy of the log file: 2022.09.20 07:40:49 LOG5[0]: Service [gmail-smtp] accepted connection from 192.168.100.200:56399 2022.09.20 07:40:49 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 74.125.138.109:465 2022.09.20 07:40:49 LOG5[0]: Service [gmail-smtp] connected remote server from 172.16.4.220:60367 2022.09.20 07:40:49 LOG5[0]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://ocsp.pki.goog/gtsr1" 2022.09.20 07:40:50 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 142.251.40.67:80 2022.09.20 07:40:50 LOG5[0]: OCSP: Certificate accepted 2022.09.20 07:40:50 LOG5[0]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://ocsp.pki.goog/gts1c3" 2022.09.20 07:40:50 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 142.251.40.67:80 2022.09.20 07:40:50 LOG5[0]: OCSP: Certificate accepted 2022.09.20 07:40:50 LOG5[0]: Certificate accepted at depth=0: CN=smtp.gmail.com 2022.09.20 07:40:51 LOG3[0]: SSL_read: ssl/record/rec_layer_s3.c:308: error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading 2022.09.20 07:40:51 LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 92 byte(s) sent to TLS, 620 byte(s) sent to socket Is this something I can remedy from the configuration, or is this something that requires modification on the email server side?
