Connection issues after upgrading to 5.51 (macOS)
by Dennis Preiser 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi, I have been using stunnel for quite a long time on macOS without any problems. Specifically, I use this to connect to an nntps server. This is the corresponding config section: | [nntp2] | client = yes | accept = 127.0.0.2:1119 | connect = news.individual.de:563 With 5.50 everything goes well: | 2019.04.06 10:48:05 LOG5[2]: Service [nntp2] accepted connection from 127.0.0.2:49366 | 2019.04.06 10:48:05 LOG5[2]: s_connect: connected 130.133.4.10:563 | 2019.04.06 10:48:05 LOG5[2]: Service [nntp2] connected remote server from 192.168.200.102:49367 I can read news without further log entries. After the upgrade to 5.51 I can not read any news anymore. As soon as I want to read an article the connection breaks down: | 2019.04.06 10:54:09 LOG5[0]: Service [nntp2] accepted connection from 127.0.0.2:49189 | 2019.04.06 10:54:09 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 130.133.4.10:563 | 2019.04.06 10:54:09 LOG5[0]: Service [nntp2] connected remote server from 192.168.200.102:49190 | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: transfer() loop executes not transferring any data | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: please report the problem to Michal.Trojnara(a)stunnel.org | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: stunnel 5.51 on x86_64-apple-darwin18.5.0 platform | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.1.1b 26 Feb 2019 | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: protocol=TLSv1.2, SSL_pending=0 | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: sock_open_rd=Y, sock_open_wr=Y | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN=n, SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: sock_can_rd=n, sock_can_wr=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: ssl_can_rd=n, ssl_can_wr=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: read_wants_read=Y, read_wants_write=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: write_wants_read=n, write_wants_write=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: shutdown_wants_read=n, shutdown_wants_write=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG3[0]: socket input buffer: 0 byte(s), TLS input buffer: 0 byte(s) | 2019.04.06 10:54:19 LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 2151 byte(s) sent to TLS, 3546 byte(s) sent to socket | 2019.04.06 10:54:21 LOG5[1]: Service [nntp2] accepted connection from 127.0.0.2:49191 | 2019.04.06 10:54:21 LOG5[1]: s_connect: connected 130.133.4.10:563 | 2019.04.06 10:54:21 LOG5[1]: Service [nntp2] connected remote server from 192.168.200.102:49192 | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: transfer() loop executes not transferring any data | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: please report the problem to Michal.Trojnara(a)stunnel.org | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: stunnel 5.51 on x86_64-apple-darwin18.5.0 platform | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.1.1b 26 Feb 2019 | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: protocol=TLSv1.2, SSL_pending=0 | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: sock_open_rd=Y, sock_open_wr=Y | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN=n, SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: sock_can_rd=n, sock_can_wr=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: ssl_can_rd=n, ssl_can_wr=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: read_wants_read=Y, read_wants_write=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: write_wants_read=n, write_wants_write=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: shutdown_wants_read=n, shutdown_wants_write=n | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG3[1]: socket input buffer: 0 byte(s), TLS input buffer: 0 byte(s) | 2019.04.06 10:54:23 LOG5[1]: Connection reset: 163 byte(s) sent to TLS, 435 byte(s) sent to socket Downgrading to 5.50 solves this issue for the time being. Are there any changes between 5.50 and 5.51 that could explain this behavior? Dennis

Issues after upgrading stunnel to v5.51 on Windows
by stunnel＠alpiston.com 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Hello, I've been using stunnel v5.50 (x64-pc-mingw32-gnu) to encrypt RTSP traffic between two Win10 Pro computers without any problems. However, after upgrading to stunnel v5.51 the RTSP traffic has started to stutter (as the framerate has dropped to almost nothing, from 20 fps to 0.01 fps to be precise), and the few frames that are actually transferred arrive visually corrupted. After enabling debugging at level 7, I get the following (some parts have been obfuscated for privacy reasons): 2019.04.08 00:53:51 LOG7[main]: Found 1 ready file descriptor(s) 2019.04.08 00:53:51

Stunnel 5.51 Pop3 Problem?
by Colin 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Hello, I'm new to this list and looking for advice/help with release 5.51 for Windows. I have three accounts, Yahoo, Aol and Gmx and I use Foxmail 5 with Stunnel. I use pop3 with all accounts and sometimes when retrieving mail I may decide to 'Not Fetch' any mail on the server that looks 'iffy' untill I've looked at it via the mail providers website. Now I've just upgraded to version 5.51 (over 5.50) and when checking any of the said accounts I can't see any mail that hasn't been fetched (the server looks empty.) But if I login to the mail website the unfetched mail is there to view for all accounts. I reverted to version 5.50 and now I can see the unfetched mail for all accounts in my 3rd party software. Therefore my question is: Is there a problem (bug??) with 5.51 which stops me from seeing unfetched pop3 mail or do I have to add something to the config file to make it work properly? Thanks...Colin

Is there a Win32 installer that supports sslVersionMin = TLS1.2?
by kent loving 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

I need to run a client on Win XP that connects to a server using TLS 1.2 or higher. Jose Alf posted that he made a test build of 5.50 in a win32 installer but uses OpenSSL 1.0.2p. And it does not seem to be official. The changelog says version 5.49, which has a win32 installer, also uses OpenSSL 1.0.2p. I can't tell if it supports TLS1.2. The man page implies I need OpenSSL 1.1.1 to get the sslVersionMin option. And, OpenSSL says v1.0.2 support ends in 9 months. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Kent Loving

OpenVPN with stunnel

Hi, To bypass the office firewall to access home server, I'm trying to run openvpn over port 443 with stunnel.

ERR_SSL_VERSION_INTERFERENCE on Google Chrome v 73.0.3683.86 and stunnel v5.51b1
by Kolan Koala 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

I cannot get TLS 1.3 to work with Chrome. TLS 1.3 works fine in firefox quantum v 66.0.1 over the same hardware, so this is not caused by middleboxes. It is a fault with stunnel or Chrome. ERR_SSL_VERSION_INTERFERENCE error occurs in Chrome and will not connect. For now the solution is to turn off TLS v1.3 in stunnel configuration and force TLS v1.2, but this is not a long term solution. Does anyone have a solution to use TLS 1.3 with chrome and stunnel together? Kolan

No more Win32 stunnel?
by John Hall 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

I've only just discovered that stunnel is seemingly no longer being updated for Win32; at any rate there has been no version 5.50 released for Win32. It would have been nice if there had been an announcement to that effect, as until now I was only subscribed to the announcements mailing list and had thus been in blissful ignorance. (For some reason I never saw ANY announcement for 5.50 - in fact I still seem to be on 5.47.) Given that there are a number of ports to different OSs by various people, is there any chance that someone might supply a Win32 port for future versions? (Sadly I lack the knowledge to do that myself.) -- John Hall

Verify peer immediately
by Phillip Hellewell 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hi, I have verifyPeer = yes in my client stunnel.conf. Is there any way to make it verify the peer right away instead of waiting until a connection is made (to the accept port)? I run stunnel with foreground = yes and would like it to exit right away if the peer doesn't have the appropriate cert/key. Thanks, Phillip

dhparam and others
by mlrx 02 Mar '19

Hello, This is my first run with stunnel. I have unbound and stunnel on openBSD to do DNS-over-TLS and it works (fine). I want now to enforce TLS security so I added the following options: sslVersion = TLSv1.2 options = CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE ciphers = [list] curve = [name] When it will be ready to production, I will add: verify = 3 CA* OCSP* For now, I don't find any information about using dhparam file. Something like SSLOpenSSLConfCmd DHParameters "/path/to/file.pem" in Apache. How can I do it possible? Could you point me some informations or the path to do it please? Could you confirm that I can't use TLS1.3 for now in stunnel? May be you could have some security advices ? Best regards, -- mlrx

Tunnel from win32 to Unix
by Eetu Pikkarainen 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hi, I am a totally newbie with this. We have intranet system in Windows Server (32bit) which reads a database (Oracle) situated in Unix machine via a tunnel made by Putty.exe. That works well except that the connection gets lost every now and then and it must be manually logged in every time. So I decided to try stunnel which we used earlier to read email from email server. However I cannot set the connection successfully. This is what I have tried now (among many other alternatives): [Kanto2] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1501 connect = kanto2.oulu.fi:22 protocolUsername = <username> protocolPassword = <password> stunnel reads the configuration OK except this notification: [:] Service [Kanto2] needs authentication to prevent MITM attacks but when the database is tried to read happens this: 2019.02.18 13:32:30 LOG5[1]: Service [Kanto2] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:64699 2019.02.18 13:32:30 LOG5[1]: s_connect: connected 130.231.240.100:22 2019.02.18 13:32:30 LOG5[1]: Service [Kanto2] connected remote server from 130.231.241.250:64700 2019.02.18 13:32:30 LOG3[1]: SSL_connect: 140770FC: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol 2019.02.18 13:32:30 LOG5[1]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket I have tried different protocol alternatives with no help. What could be the problem? Is this kind of use even possible? thanks Eetu Pikkarainen PhD (Ed.), (Title of) Adjunct Prof., University Lecturer (in Education) Faculty of Education, University of Oulu, Finland Research Group: https://wiki.oulu.fi/display/theored Latest publications: Semiotic Theory of Learning: New Perspectives in the Philosophy of Education.

Stunnel 3.50 Win - CAPI stopped working
by pepak＠seznam.cz 18 Feb '19

18 Feb '19

Hello, I have encountered a bug in Stunnel version 3.50. I have a setup with two computers (Server and Client) connected using Stunnel. The client is using a hardware token through the CAPI engine to authenticate itself to a server, using a config file: ----- fips = no taskbar = yes options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 sslVersion = TLSv1.2 engine = capi [my-server] client = yes accept = 22 connect = my.server.com:1234 requireCert = yes verifyChain = yes verifyPeer = yes CAfile = my-cert-chain.pem engineId = capi ----- This setup works perfectly in Stunnel 3.49: When I try to connect to localhost:22, I receive a request to select a certificate and enter its PIN, and if successful, a connection to my server is established. In Stunnel 3.50, the connection fails to complete. The Stunnel log shows: LOG5[0]: Service [my-server] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:49713 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 1.2.3.4:1234 LOG5[0]: Service [my-server] connected remote server from 10.11.12.13:49714 LOG5[0]: Certificate accepted at depth=0: CN=My server LOG3[0]: error queue: 141F0006: error:141F0006:SSL routines:tls_construct_cert_verify:EVP lib LOG3[0]: SSL_connect: 8006F074: error:8006F074:lib(128):capi_rsa_priv_enc:function not supported LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket However, if I change the engine to the default one and use a certificate in file, everything works fine. That suggests to me that the problem lies in the Stunnel's CAPI engine library. It is quite possible the problem is caused by the CAPI engine itself. I was experimenting with OpenSSL 1.1.1a some time back, trying to compile my own library files, and I just couldn't to get CAPI to work at all - the libraries themselves compiled OK and worked fine, but the CAPI engine just wouldn't work (while it was OK with OpenSSL 1.0.2q); the only way I could get CAPI to work with OpenSSL 1.1.1a was to use the 1.1.1a libraries and the 1.0.2q capi.dll. However, I am far from an expert on compiling OpenSSL, so I may have gotten it completely wrong. Could someone please verify that their CAPI engine is working with Stunnel? Also, it may be worth trying to compile a 64bit CAPI.dll from version 1.0.2q just to see if it might start working - in that case, a bug report to OpenSSL may be in order. Thanks. pepak

Timeout's issue / network stunnel on virtual apps
by Marian Andrei Olteanu 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Hi all, I have a client - server application which works as following. The server is hosted in a linux machine and the clients are up in citrix(XEN) virtual machines. I have enable stunnel encry. in between this environments but i keep getting some connection issues from time to time. To be more clear the client application starts a session for you from the virtual machine (xen) so the stunnel.exe running there in the server is meant to encrypt traffic of around 100 users(from win AD who have access to use that resource in the server) , port configured in VM machine 1001 accept - linux.host:1002 connect with linux accept on 1002 - localhost:1000. the channel opened between the VM and Linux is used by many users simultaneous. Could please tell me what is happening here?Is this architecture able to work? thank you in advance. Marian

stunnel stopped working today, had to reboot server
by Christopher Schultz 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Hello, I'm new to the list so I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to report this. I had a server stop responding to stunnel connections sometime yesterday and the resolution was ultimately to reboot the server and everything was okay. Restarting the stunnel service was not enough to get things working again. I isolated the problem to stunnel by checking that the underlying service (a Java web application) would respond from the localhost machine (it did) but an openssl s_client connection to localhost:stunnel-port would connect but not proceed past the CONNECTED(3) state. Ultimately, it would time-out. stunnel was not logging anything to syslog when these connections came in. Outgoing stunnel connections seemed to be okay. Looking through the log file, I could see that there were some odd messages coming from stunnel in the daemon.log file suggesting that there might be a memory leak. I won't post them here unless requested, as they may represent a potential security issue. My concern is that a service-restart for stunnel was not sufficient. This suggests a problem which goes deeper than the stunnel service. Is it possible for stunnel to break in such a way that it continues to be broken after a restart? I'm sorry, in retrospect, I was not 100% sure that the service did indeed stop and launch a new process when running /etc/init.d/stunnel restart, but there were no errors and the service-runner did report that the service was restarted. My (simplified) configuration and version information is posted below. Please let me know if there is any other information I might be able to provide in order to investigate this. Note that this is a package-managed version of stunnel, provided by the Debian package-maintainers. Thanks, -chris PS Thanks for a wonderful product. I've relied on stunnel for years to proxy these unencrypted AJP connections for me. Cheers for all your great work.

Re: [stunnel-users] Problem with name resolving on Centos 7
by tom 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hello, > Are you sure 'foobar.remote.site' should resolve? > Does "ping foobar.remote.site" work? yes, the host is resolved on commandline and other services on this system can reach this host. > Do you have a /var/run/stunnel/etc/resolv.conf file? No at this time I dont have this file, but it doesnt change anything if I copy the original from /etc to this lokation. But this brings me to the point try to dissable chroot and in this case stunnel is working as expected. So far so good - there is something wrong in the chroot jail. I try to put it to /var/run/stunnel - no luck, but maybe there are other files missing as well? regards Tom

Stunnel 5.50 Transparent Both (Source+Destination)
by Luis Monteiro 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Sirs. I´m trying to make Stunnel work in both source and destination transparent proxy and after looking every possibility I started to track the packet that is locally generated (Stunnel client sending to stunnel server). The packet goes out from process to raw table output chain. It deliveries to connect tracking that pass the packet to mangle output but it disappears before arriving in the nat table output chain. Stunnel Packet destination 7.0.0.2:80(Original destination)------raw/output-----connectTrack------mangle/output-------XXXX disappear With transparent destination off it works fine. Stunnel Packet destination 9.0.0.2:443(Stunnel Server IP)------raw/output-----connectTrack------mangle/output-------nat/output---- filter/output----interface The problem is probably regarding the tproxy/ip_transparent that stunnel use to control the connection and get the original src/dst to use. I tried 3 different distribution of linux with the same behavior. Does someone already use transparent=both and give me a setup that worked link linux distribution/version, stunnel version and so on? Thanks, Luis Monteiro

Re: [stunnel-users] How can stunnel use openssl HW cryptodev encryption
by Eric Eberhard 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

I'll give you two pieces of advice that almost everyone on the list won't agree with :) 1) Make a static openssl and static stunnel and locate them someplace apart from the standard locations (/usr/local/company_name/lib is what I use). This means if anyone messes with openssl or stunnel you won't be affected - and it will always work as it is static - and part of your application - the user does not even need your libraries. I have a personal distaste for dynamic linking . mostly because I have a lot of customers that update a lot of things (including openssl - a lot - and stunnel sometimes) . and then wonder why things stop working. A 10 year old openssl and stunnel - all static - will still run and work fine past all updates and user messing around. I choose when I want to update openssl and stunnel (meaning I look to see if there is something new I need or want). As a result I missed the keep alive and poodle bugs - I did not update until after both were fixed. 2) Forget hardware implementation - geez - modern computers are so darn fast that I cannot imagine you really need that level of "speed up" versus the grief you are handling. I have customers that exchange millions (4+) XML documents a day, all through stunnel, all through inetd (also not efficient supposedly - just reliable and always works and needs no management) - and have no problems. I am using IBM p Series (AIX) and these machines even at the low level are fast . but I also use some SCO and Linux and certainly with lesser volume they are fine as well. 3) OK - 3 is really - use inetd, so much easier and always works (assuming you have Unix). If inetd crashes Unix crashes so . see number 2 for reasons :) Of course, these ideas won't help much if you don't have a Unix variation or if you are really that tight on performance (although if you are I'd suggest hardware upgrades!). Good luck with your project, Eric From: stunnel-users [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tamar Pedersen Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2019 1:06 PM To: stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org Subject: [stunnel-users] How can stunnel use openssl HW cryptodev encryption Hello, I am evaluating stunnel, to see if it is a viable solution for providing encryption in a system that contains an Atmel processor which includes a HW accelerated encryption block. I am just ramping up on stunnel, and figured I should capture what I have done so far. My questions will come towards the end of my email. My research indicates that stunnel incorporates openssl.

Max Performance of Stunnel
by Luis Monteiro 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

I'm testing Stunnel with Ixia traffic generator (Breakingpoint Virtual Edition) and I got a limited performance of 3.5Gbps full duplex even with 6 or 9 cpu in the esxi vm. The processors are fully dedicated as well memory all reserved with passthrough od network cards intel x540 10Gbps, 2 ports. The 2 vm are similar with one running stunnel client and the other as stunnel server. The page performance of Stunnel of 5.5Gbps but doesn't inform if it's half or full since in the operation the stunnel has to deal with 2 flow coming and going. If it was 5.5Gbps total makes sense since I'm using 2 x Scalable Gold 6140 and gave me 7Gbps encryption + decryption with AES-NI I think since we are not a feasible solution to check on the fly only the overall performance. I'm using the same cipher suit of performance information of Stunnel. Does anyone know if the performance numbers is considering the total performance or full duplex? Does someone have any tip to improve the performance? Thanks, Luis Monteiro

Transparente destination
by Luis Monteiro 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Sirs. I tested the stunnel client connect to a stunnel server to proxy transparent a http traffic. I used a traffic generator from Ixia (BPS), a tap to get the traffic between stunnel´s using ntop license pf_ring (Kernel bypass) with tcpdump accessing their libs and export pcaps from source and destination from Ixia. Transparent source worked flawless easily using the information on man page. Transparent destination didn´t worked. The instructions in the stunnel documentation for each are: /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i client_interface -p tcp --dport 443 (I´m using default port os https) -j ACCEPT ----- It is filter INPUT that is executed after routing decision after nat to allow packets with destination port 443 /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 (Destination port of http in client_interface \ -i client_interface -j DNAT --to-destination 9.0.0.2:443 (connect destination on server Stunnel) The second input in iptables is executed before the routing decision and that is the problem. Looking the hit count of in iptables the nat table PREROUTING always have a hit but the filter table filter INPUT doesn´t. I set a policy routing to delivey packets to 9.0.0.2:443 to local process and the filter table filter INPUT started to receive the hit in the counters as well but stunnel didn´t worked. If I change the connect destination address to local interface 9.0.0.1:443 I do not need the pocily routing since it´s local but Stunnel did not worked too. The stunnel configuration for the client is bellow: #setgid = root #setuid = root debug = 7 log = overwrite syslog = no output = /root/stunnel.log ;engine = ENGINE_ID ;engineCtrl = COMMAND[:PARAMETER] ;engineDefault = TASK_LIST [http] client = yes accept = 6.0.0.1:80 ;connect = 9.0.0.2:443 ciphers = AES128-GCM-SHA256 requireCert = no sslVersion = TLSv1.2 transparent = destination At the end I´d like to use both source and destination but I´m testing separated. Does anyone know if there is a bug related or if there is a version working fine? Even with a lot o resource I don´t have more what to do about and any help would be appreciated. Luis Monteiro

How can stunnel use openssl HW cryptodev encryption
by Tamar Pedersen 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Hello, I am evaluating stunnel, to see if it is a viable solution for providing encryption in a system that contains an Atmel processor which includes a HW accelerated encryption block. I am just ramping up on stunnel, and figured I should capture what I have done so far. My questions will come towards the end of my email. My research indicates that stunnel incorporates openssl. I have been able to use openssl independently, to access the cryptodev HW encryption engine, in the Linux kernel module located in /lib/modules/4.14.79/extra/cryptodev.ko. When openssl is run without accessing the cryptodev engine (cryptodev module not loaded), I get the pure SW encryption implementation provided by default in openssl. When I run bench mark speed tests using openssl, using SW encryption, I see the following results: # time -v openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 16 size blocks: 1689887 aes-128-cbc's in 2.95s Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 64 size blocks: 568389 aes-128-cbc's in 2.95s Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 256 size blocks: 151550 aes-128-cbc's in 2.96s Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 1024 size blocks: 38599 aes-128-cbc's in 2.96s Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 8192 size blocks: 4845 aes-128-cbc's in 2.95s OpenSSL 1.0.2p-fips 14 Aug 2018 built on: reproducible build, date unspecified options:bn(64,32) rc4(ptr,char) des(idx,cisc,16,long) aes(partial) idea(int) blowfish(ptr) compiler: arm-laird-linux-gnueabi-gcc -I. -I.. -I../include -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DZLIB_SHARED -DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O3 -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV -DUSE_CRYPTODEV_DIGESTS -Wall -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_GF2m -I/home/sii/wb50n_space2_legacy_6.0.0.x/wb/buildroot/output/wb50n_space2_legacy/host/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/include -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DAES_ASM -DBSAES_ASM -DGHASH_ASM The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed. type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes aes-128-cbc 9165.49k 12331.15k 13107.03k 13353.17k 13454.32k Command being timed: "openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc" User time (seconds): 14.81 System time (seconds): 0.10 Percent of CPU this job got: 99% Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 0m 15.06s Average shared text size (kbytes): 0 Average unshared data size (kbytes): 0 Average stack size (kbytes): 0 Average total size (kbytes): 0 Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 13376 Average resident set size (kbytes): 0 Major (requiring I/O) page faults: 0 Minor (reclaiming a frame) page faults: 145 Voluntary context switches: 0 Involuntary context switches: 721 Swaps: 0 File system inputs: 0 File system outputs: 0 Socket messages sent: 0 Socket messages received: 0 Signals delivered: 0 Page size (bytes): 4096 Exit status: 0 # When I load the cryptodev module, and take advantage of the accelerated hardware encryption the benchmark tests are significantly faster.

Stunnel in transparent mode
by Luis Monteiro 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Hi fellows. I´m from Brazil and I´m trying to use Stunnel as a TLS proxy in a bed test environment. I´m using a traffic generator from Ixia (Breakingpoint). The bed test is: |-------------------| 6.0.0.1 |-------------------|9.0.0.1 9.0.0.2|--------------------|7.0.0.2 |--------------------| | Client 6.0.0.2 |>>>>>>>>>>>>| Stunnel Client|>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>| Stunnel Server|>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> | Server 7.0.0.2 | |-------------------| ens224 |-------------------|ens192 ens224|--------------------|ens192 |--------------------| I´m capturing the packets in all 3 points so I can see exactly what is happening. I tested without transparent proxy and worked fine. I test with transparent = source with the additional conf bellow in both Stunnel and worked fine as well. iptables -t mangle -N DIVERT iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1 iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100 ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100 echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/rp_filter iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ens224 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 6.0.0.1:8080 I tested transparent = destination with several modification from the config bellow without success. No conf delivery packets with 7.0.0.2:443 on the Stunnel Client ens192 via 9.0.0.1 to be accept on Stunnel server 9.0.0.2:443. /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -i ens192 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT /sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 \ -i ens192 -j DNAT --to-destination 9.0.0.1:443 Any help to show me what is wrong would be appreciated.

Could be the versions of communication are different – from SSLv3 to TLS1.3 … Having said that, there is NO REASON to use stunnel and a VPN – both encrypt data. You only need to encrypt it once … so I’d change your software to behave differently via VPN or not.

Re: [stunnel-users] older browsers, stunnel and privoxy

Sure it can. Inetd is simply a "server" and stunnel works in inetd mode or server mode. When not using inetd, stunnel does the server work. When using inetd then inetd does the server work. In both cases the actual "instance" of stunnel is the same. And inetd always works (or essentially Unix does not). It is milliseconds slower in inetd (and unless you are doing millions of connections nobody will notice) but way more reliable in my experience.

Could stunnel encryption be responsible for rendering the year as "4019" instead of "2019"?
by Al Birchall 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi All, This may be stupid question, but I'll pose it anyway! We use stunnel to encrypt communications between library self-service kiosks and a cloud-based library system. Since switching to this cloud-based library system, the self-service kiosks have been rendering the year in item due dates as "4019" instead of "2019" printed and emailed patron library account statements. Items will actually have been checked out to the correct due date in library system, with the year displayed correctly, which library staff and patrons can see is so when they access the system directly. We have fixed the problem with a work-around by configuring the kiosk software to only display the last two digits of the year. So could it be the stunnel encryption algorithms that are causing "2019" to display as "4019"? Many thanks!

Internal Errors
by _ Ånüßås _ 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Hello, I would like to report two bugs. I recently upgraded to stunnel 5.50 on FreeBSD 12.0 and noticed that the stunnel server service now crashes periodically. When checking the logs after a crash, I see the following error: INTERNAL ERROR: Dead canary at /usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/statem/extensions_sr The stunnel server service only ever talks to a stunnel client service, also running version 5.50 on FreeBSD 12.0. The server configuration is as follows. Anything in {} brackets has been redacted. I have seen this issue on multiple servers configured the same way. <config> client = no setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = {/path/to/file} output = {/path/to/file} debug = 4 socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [server] accept = {ip}:{port} connect = {ip}:{port} ciphers = PSK PSKsecrets = {/path/to/file} </config> Additionally, I have noticed another error in the logs. Although it appears far more frequently than the error above, it does not seem to cause the server service to crash.

stunnel not working properly on Redhat linux (fresh install)
by Klaus Kloeser 04 Jan '19

Hi, I have set up Stunnel as SSL Wrapper for googlemail on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 7.2 installation. The stunnel.conf: output = /var/log/stunnel.log cert = /etc/pki/tls/certs/2019stunnel.pem client = yes sslVersion = TLSv1 ;fips=no [ssmtp] accept = 1925 connect=smtp.googlemail.com:587 lets me start stunned well. I have created the file 2019stunnel.pem following the Instructions on Redhat: make 2019stunnel.pem in the correct directory (certs) now I tried to telnet localhost 1925; I get a “connected”, but nothing more. telnet smtp.googlemail 587 runs very well, I get connected, so I assume it is not a firewall issue.

How to configure STunnel to use cert. from certificate store
by Chicoine, Jonathan 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

How in the word you specify the certificate to use from the windows certificate store (for example, on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012)? The documentation obviously says to use the "cert" config option to specify a file (and the "key" config option for the private key) ... but to use a cert from the windows certificate store, shouldn't it be the certs "common name" field or thumbprint ... or something. Am new to this whole thing and have been googling for the answer for days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -jonathan

stunnel 5.50 on Solaris 10
by Udo Erdelhoff 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hi, quick heads-up to anybody building/using stunnel 5.50 on Solaris 10 and wondering where the "Invalid configuration file name" errors are coming from: The problem is the call to realpath in line 334 of options.c, it uses NULL as second argument as a request to have the realpath function allocate the memory buffer for the sanitized string. This variant of realpath is not supported on Solaris 10, and leads to EINVAL (error code 22). Quickest fix is to run configure and then manually change src/config.h to have /* #undef HAVE_REALPATH */ instead of #define HAVE_REALPATH 1 -- "Treason is a charge invented by winners as an excuse for hanging the losers." - Benjamin Franklin, ca. 1776

Support for multiple root CAs
by Tom Bentley 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

Hi, I'm using stunnel to secure communication between nodes in a cluster, using a self-signed CA to sign the server certs and the `verify = 2` config parameter. This works great. What I want to be able to do is replace the CA key and certificate without breaking the cluster. How I thought this should work would be: 1. Configure the stunnels to trust both the old and new CA certificates while the nodes continued to use server certificates signed by the old CA key. 2. Switch to using using server certifcates signed by the new CA key. 3. Finally remove trust in the old CA certificate. I'd tried this by putting both CA certificates in a single file and using `CAfile` config parameter, and also by using the `CApath` config parameter with both root CA certificates in the configured directory, but I've not been able to get this to work while keeping `verify = 2`. It does work if I temporary use `verify = 0`, but obviously that means I've not got TLS authentication duration the duration of the process. Can anyone confirm whether stunnel supports this use case, and if so suggest where I might be going wrong? Many thanks, Tom

Hi Janos, you can use a local proxy to "translate" HTTPS TLS1.0 to TLS1.2 Look here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/176344-problems-accessing-certain-sites-https-… HTTPSProxy (and tools) manage the whole traffic locally (in- and outgoing HTTPS), but needs manually configuration as described in the help files. If you have questions please ask in this forum.

If by "forward to the current site address dynamically" you meant "forward to the current address of one specific domain" then stunnel can achieve that by adding "delay = yes". However, if I understood correctly, you wanted to let stunnel strip or remove SSL for whatever sites you visit. Then no, I don't think you can achieve that with privoxy and stunnel. If that's what you want, I would suggest you use nginx to remove SSL. The following example configuration will let nginx "upgrade" your HTTP request to HTTPS. events {} http { server { resolver 9.9.9.9; listen 80; location / { proxy_pass https://$host$request_uri; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; } }} You can then point any domain to the nginx server (for example, via the hosts file) and visit the site via HTTP. This will make HTTPS-oly servers happy. That won't strip third-party HTTPS:// URL resources like NewIPNow does, but you can use the nginx "sub_filter" to replace HTTPS with HTTP in HTML. Also there are "security features" like "Content-Security-Policy" that prevent modern browsers from visiting your SSL-stripped sites, but I believe your out-dated browser will happily ignore those. --Zizhong ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2018 21:37:53 +0100 From: kovacs janos <kovacsjanosfasz(a)gmail.com> To: Zizhong Zhang <zizazit(a)protonmail.com> Cc: "stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org" <stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org> Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] older browsers, stunnel and privoxy Message-ID: <CAOchpkq7vG8vHBCrbVn6d4Eh7M2rd6jEob_huhoG=ZefJnpHLw(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" well, what i meant is forwarding to the current address the browser connects to, so basically browsing through stunnel. is it really that complicated to achieve that? if i configure stunnel as a client, and make the browser send traffic to the accept address, shouldnt stunnel encrypt the traffic with TLS and send forward to the connect address? if thats true, shouldnt it also decrypt returning traffic and send back to the browser? when i configured stunnel as both client and server on the same computer, it worked, but the browser still gave 'ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap' errors. probably because the server side decrypted it again before it reached the website's server? i dont necessarily need it to strip encryption, just use anything below TLS 1.1. for example on 'https://via.hypothes.is/' i can visit sites that would otherwise give cypher error, and they stay as https On 12/4/18, Zizhong Zhang <zizazit(a)protonmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > >> im trying to make older browsers be able to display TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 >> sites. >> i heard stunnel cant be configured to always forward to the current >> site address dynamically, thats why i would use privoxy. > > If by "forward to the current site address dynamically" you meant "forward > to the current address of one specific domain" then stunnel can achieve that > by adding "delay = yes". > > However, if I understood correctly, you wanted to let stunnel strip > or remove SSL for whatever sites you visit.
