GRE over Stunnel
by marslogout＠gmail.com 17 May '24

17 May '24

Hello, is it possible to use GRE with Stunnel? I know that GRE is a protocol different from TCP, but I would like to hear your opinion on this matter. If GRE is not supported, would it be correct to replace it with PPTP without encryption?

Stunnel with no encryption
by Castro, Flavio 16 May '24

16 May '24

Hello, I am trying to configure Stunnel to use the insecure cipher PSK-NULL-SHA@SECLEVEL=0 but am encountering issues where a different cipher appears to be negotiated instead. My goal is to authenticate endpoints without encryption. Here are the details of my setup: Stunnel Version: 5.63 Operating System: Ubuntu Stunnel Configuration: ; Stunnel Configuration ; Global Options fips = no output = /var/log/stunnel.log ; Specify the pre-shared key file PSKsecrets = /etc/stunnel/psk.txt sslVersion = TLSv1.2 ; PSK Server Configuration [PSK server] accept = 192.168.20.11:5074 connect = 192.168.30.11:5074 ciphers = PSK-NULL-SHA ; In OpenSSL, I can achieve my goal using the following command, which works as expected: openssl s_client -port 5074 -cipher "PSK-NULL-SHA@SECLEVEL=0" -psk 4f8583bca4d311ee9fd6034d1fcbd7c3 -tls1 However, with Stunnel, it appears a different cipher is negotiated, and I do not see any error messages in the logs. I tcpdumped the connection and observed the traffic is being encrypt which was not the case when using openssl. In my usecase I need to authenticate endpoints without encryption, hence the use of PSK-NULL-SHA@SECLEVEL=0. Could you please advise on how to properly configure Stunnel to use the PSK-NULL-SHA@SECLEVEL=0 cipher, or if this is supported? Thank you for your assistance. Flavio Castro

Wondering if process to create the g2.pem file is available?

It does work with changes to the stunnel.conf file for both the smtp1.guam.net and mail.guam.net [guampop] client=yes accept = 127.0.0.1:20996 connect = mail.guam.net:995 debug = 7 verifyChain = yes CApath = /etc/ssl/certs CAfile = /etc/stunnel/g2.pem checkHost = mail.guam.net OCSPaia = yes [guamsmtp] client=yes accept = 127.0.0.1:20466 connect = smtp1.guam.net:465 debug = 7 verifyChain = yes CApath = /etc/ssl/certs CAfile = /etc/stunnel/g2.pem checkHost = smtp1.guam.net OCSPaia = yes Not sure the the g2.pem would work for all time, or has an expiration date.

stunnel doesn't allow two client certificates with the same Subject DN?
by Christopher Schultz 16 Apr '24

16 Apr '24

Hello, I was recently rotating a certificate for a service and I went through my usual procedure: 1. Generate a new client key+cert; don't place them into service, yet 2. Distribute the new certificate to all my stunnel servers that need to trust it by placing it at the end of each of my servers' CAFile files 3. Restart all stunnel services 4. Swap the old key+cert for the client with the new key+cert 5. Test that all is well I've found that if the Distinguished Name of both the old and new certificate are the same, stunnel will only trust the one that is mentioned /first/ in the CAFile. For example, if the CAFile contains: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- certificate A Serial Number: 12345678 Subject: C=US, OU=Testing, O=Example.com, CN=test -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- certificate B Serial Number: 87654321 Subject: C=US, OU=Testing, O=Example.com, CN=test -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Certificate A will be trusted but Certificate B will not be trusted. The error shown in the logs is: CERT: Pre-verification error: self signed certificate Apr 15 21:33:06 mirth-pcc.chadis.com stunnel[23421]: Certificate check failed: depth=0, /C=US/OU=Testing/O=Example.com/CN=test While the certificates are both self-signed, that should not cause an error. Removing the old certificate from the CAFile or moving it to the bottom of the file resolves the problem. (But of course then Certificate A is no longer trusted despite it appearing in the CAFile.) Is this expected behavior? It would be very helpful if stunnel could support two different certificates with the same Subject DN for these kinds of cert-rotation processes. The alternatives are to always use a new DN each time or to add/remove at the same time which makes rolling-back more difficult. Note that everything else about these certificates is different: serial number, fingerprint, generating-key, etc. It's only the Subject DN that is the same. This is stunnel 4.56 on x86_64-koji-linux-gnu platform, on Amazon Linux 2. Thanks! -chris

Received trusted client CA list not found
by allmail 16 Mar '24

16 Mar '24

I see this message in the Stunnel (client) logs during SSL handshake with the server The server requires a client certificate which has been configured in the stunnel configuration. The handshake is working fine but I was wondering what exactly does this line mean. From what I found so far, seems like there is a way for the server to specify which CA's it will accept for the client certificate and it can specify them in the ClientCertificate request that it sends This server doesnt send anything like that, so I am guessing that is the reason for this log line? Can someone please confirm? Btw, I see this line only when using TLSv1.3. When I restrict the client to TLSv1.2, I dont see this line. thanks LOG Peer certificate required TLS state (connect): before SSL initialization Initializing application specific data for session authenticated TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS write client hello TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS write client hello TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS read server hello TLS state (connect): TLSv1.3 read encrypted extensions Received trusted client CA list not found TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS read server certificate request

Stunnel HA Options
by caspernetherlands＠gmail.com 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

Hello folks, I have seen a couple of other posts concerning this question but I am still unclear and wanted to see if there are any new options for 2024. What would the recommended setup for Stunnel look like for HA (high-availability)? All I need is basically to have two servers, one active and another one stand by and be able to fail over to the standby server when the active one becomes unavailable due to hardware failure, bad vmotion etc. Extra point if this setup offers automatic failover to DR as well, meaning failover to a third server that's also on standby in case of catastrophic failures on the first two. This almost looks like a load-balancing solution but not really. I say this because I tried to leverage F5 to accomplish this HA scenario and wasn't successful at it because of the way that the F5 performs active checks so often and how noisy that can be for network perimeter security setups. My main request is the local HA though, I can come up with a solution for DR later on. Any recommendation is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

possible typo in manpage imap example
by alisonatwork＠outlook.com 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Hi, It's possible that I am missing something obvious, but I was reading the manpage today and it seems like the example suggesting how to configure an email client for tunneled imap is incorrect. It suggests that the user configure their client to connect to port 119, but then the example stunnel config shows accept = 143. If this is indeed incorrect, I think the following files need to be modified to change 119 to 143: doc/stunnel.8.in doc/stunnel.html.in doc/stunnel.pl.8.in doc/stunnel.pl.html.in doc/stunnel.pl.pod.in doc/stunnel.pod.in Regards, Alison

The pressure to excel in both practical and theoretical aspects of nursing education can be daunting, leading some students to seek online course help. The question then arises – is it ethical to pay someone to do my online class or assist with nursing paper writing services? Understanding the Ethical Dilemma: The ethical considerations surrounding seeking academic assistance are complex. On one hand, students argue that external support enables them to focus on practical experiences and hands-on learning. On the other hand, critics argue that outsourcing coursework undermines the integrity of education and the development of essential skills nurs-fpx 4060 assessment 1. Navigating the Online Course Help Landscape: For those considering online course help, it is crucial to approach the situation with caution and a clear understanding of the ethical implications. Many online platforms and services claim to provide assistance with nursing paper writing services, but it is essential to discern between legitimate support and services that may compromise academic integrity. Choosing Reputable Services: When seeking online course help for nursing paper writing services, it is imperative to choose reputable and ethical service providers. These services should prioritize academic honesty, transparency, and the development of students' critical thinking skills. Thoroughly researching and vetting potential service providers can help students make informed decisions. The Role of Academic Support Services: Rather than viewing online course help as a shortcut, students should consider these services as valuable supplements to their learning journey. Academic support services can offer guidance, feedback, and assistance in understanding complex nursing concepts. This collaborative approach allows students to enhance their skills while meeting the demands of their coursework chamberlain nurse executive track. Developing Essential Skills: While online course help can provide support, it is essential for students to actively engage with the material and develop the critical skills necessary for a successful nursing career. Ethical academic support services aim to empower students, encouraging them to take an active role in their education and fostering a sense of responsibility for their learning outcomes. Balancing Priorities: The decision to seek online course help should be accompanied by a realistic assessment of one's priorities and capabilities. Nursing students juggling multiple responsibilities may find that strategic use of academic support services can help them maintain a healthy work-life balance while excelling in their coursework. The Impact on Future Nursing Practice: Aspiring nurses must recognize that the skills and knowledge acquired during their education directly impact their ability to provide quality patient care in the future. While online course help can provide temporary relief, it is crucial for students to actively engage with the material and strive for a deep understanding of nursing concepts. Conclusion: The landscape of nursing education is evolving, with online courses offering unprecedented flexibility for students. As the demand for nursing professionals continues to grow, the need for academic support services, including nursing paper writing services, is likely to persist online class help. However, students must approach online course help with a balanced perspective, understanding the ethical considerations and prioritizing the development of essential skills. By navigating the online course help landscape responsibly, nursing students can enhance their learning experience and prepare for a successful and fulfilling career in healthcare.

older browsers, stunnel and privoxy
by kovacs janos 04 Mar '24

sorry to bother, 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. the browser is configured to send to: 127.0.0.1 443 stunnel config has this at the end: [Tunnel_in] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:8118 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = localhost 127.0.0.1:8118 is the privoxy address. this is what stunnel writes: LOG5[main]: Configuration successful LOG5[0]: Service [Tunnel_in] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:3261 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 127.0.0.1:8118 LOG5[0]: Service [Tunnel_in] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:3262 and the browser infinitely loads, and never loads anything or leaves the page. if i remove the last 3 lines, its the same just with this line added: LOG4[main]: Service [Tunnel_in] needs authentication to prevent MITM attacks but it doesnt give an error or anything. with a configuration like: [Tunnel_out] client = no accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:8118 cert = stunnel.pem this is what it gives: LOG5[3]: Service [Tunnel_out] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:3294 LOG3[3]: SSL_accept: 1407609B: error:1407609B:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:https proxy request LOG5[3]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket and browser gives a server not found error immediately. im not even sure if i should use client or server configuration in a case like this, but none of them works anyway. all i would need is for my browser to get the pages decrypted, or at least in less than TLS1.1. like how on newipnow.com i can access sites with any encryption, since they are sent to the browser without encryption. the browser just gives an "unencrypted tunnel" warning, which is how i found stunnel, and which is exactly what i need, just locally.

Windows 2022 tunnel client issues
by Mark Weishaar 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

Hello, I’m working on replacing an older Windows server that uses stunnel 5.71 to connect to an Oracle database running on a Linux box. I can communicate just fine with the older Windows machine and another Linux box; however, when I try to connect with the stunnel 5.72 on the Windows 2022 server, I keep running into issues and the connection is forcibly closed. Old Windows server: stunnel 5.71 New Windows 2022 server: stunnel 5.72 (I also tried 5.71 and 5.62 just to rule things out Oracle db server: stunnel 5.72 Other Linux server: stunnel 5.72 My

Dynamic DNS
by alstar＠maybenot.work 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Hi, I'm running Stunnel on Linux. It needs to connect to a dynamic IP address (by domain name). The DNS is updated automatically. I noticed that the last time the address changed, Stunnel stopped working. A ping from the machine produced the correct address but Stunnel was using the old one. Will a reload work?

error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number
by Graham Lang 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Hi, I've been using Stunnel for many years without a problem but I just changed my email provider and now my mail client can't send emails. Receiving via POP is still fine, but sending via SMTP is giving the error "SSL_connect: ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:354: error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number" The old SMTP server was on port 465 whereas the new server (hotmail) is on port 587 so that may be the source of the problem. My config file is quite simple: socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client = yes [pop] accept = 110 connect = outlook.office365.com:995 [smtp] accept = 25 connect = smtp-mail.outlook.com:587 I just changed the POP and SMTP server details to the new ones. POP is still on port 995 as it was before but SMTP has changed from 465 to 587. I was running an older version of Stunnel but updating to latest version hasn't helped. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd hate to have to lose my old Email client which has so many messages stored so it would be great to get it working fully with hotmail. Thanks! Graham.

stunnel - slowness
by Luciano Bonifácio 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

Good morning guys! I started using stunnel very recently with GLPI to authenticate to Google LDAP, and it is working, but with extreme slowness at Login. Something around 35 seconds. I believe there may be some parameters, adjustments to make. I'm sending the stunnel.conf configuration below, as well as the attached log file(txt). Could you give me a suggestion. Thanks, Luciano # stunnel.conf - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log [ldap] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1636 connect = ldap.google.com:636 cert = /etc/certificates/glpi_ldap.crt key = /etc/certificates/glpi_ldap.key - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Paho connection to stunnel
by jesramsing＠hotmail.com 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

I have a strange problem connecting from a C++ application using the Paho framework to the stunnel. The certificates are self signed, and MQTT Explorerr hooks up nicely and validates the certificate when fed with the appropriate ca certificate. So, stunnel seems to behave nicely on some cases, others not. The stunnel log shows a SSL_accept: ssl/record/ssl3_record_c:354: errror: 0A00010B:SSL wrong version. I have tried version 1.1 and 1.2 in the Paho library, both failing with the same error code. Any ideas or suggestions?

Getting logs in systemd environment
by Christopher Schultz 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

All, I recently built a server from scratch in Amazon EC2 using Amazon Linux 2023 which is systemd-based. When having trouble with a client failing to connect to our stunnel-based service, I tried raising the log level: debug=7 and restarted the service. I can't find any indication that the logs are available. There is no /var/log/stunnel directory. There are none of the usual files I might expect these logs to be in on other systems (e.g. /var/log/seure, /var/log/auth, etc.). It appears the case that I should be able to view the journals using this command: sudo journalctl --follow -u stunnel.service But nothing is ever printed there. Does anyone know how to get logging from stunnel in this kind of environment? (BTW, *I* am able to connect to this service, so I know it's running, etc. This is only a logging-problem, not an stunnel-isnt-working problem.) Thanks, -chris

But your comment got me more interested in exactly what was happening, so I tried /not/ limiting journalctl --follow to a specific service and I can see all kinds of things coming from stunnel: Dec 13

Connect multiple clients to one server port
by egig＠gmv.com 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Hi all I was wondering if there is a way to connect multiple stunnel clients running on different machines to the same stunnel server service, also running on a different machine. All the clients must connect to the same server port. I have tried it with my current config but I haven't been able to make it work, is this even possible?? Thanks, Esteban.

Stunnel load balancing through F5
by caspernetherlands＠gmail.com 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Hello, Was wondering if anyone has tried to setup an HA like setup, specifically active/passive through two Stunnel servers and F5 load balancers. The problem I have is that TCP health checks (active checks) from the F5 are causing session initiation all the way to the 3rd party on the other side and this is causing a lot of unnecessary TCP traffic at the transport layer. The good thing is that the F5 closes these TCP sessions, but the problem is the 3rd party thinks someone is trying to brute force or something. Does anyone know how to maintain the TCP active health checks that the F5 does, but at the same time not cause a session initiation all the way to the 3rd party? Or if it’s not possible to stop the session initiation, would there be any option where something can be adjusted in the stunnel side so that the other side sees only one TCP health check as opposed to multiple every few seconds?

I'm trying to understand this error: SSL_accept: ssl/t1_lib.c:2827: error:14201076:SSL routines:tls_choose_sigalg:no suitable signature algorithm How can I fix that? Is it because of the openssl version? I'm using Stunnel 5.71 on both sides. The server-side stunnel is built from source.

WG: stunnel core dumps, "SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac"
by Sacha Hottinger 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

Hello, We are using stunnel 5.71 on Solaris 10 to tunnel NFS on more than 50 systems. In the past we saw stunnel dumping cores without any errors or hints in the stunnel log file. It was believed to be an OpenSSL 1.x problem. We got an stunnel version with SSL 2.x and 3.x but we had to go back to 1.x because of other problems. We noticed the dumps to happen at regular times and found a script that made NFS requests every 10 Min. After changing the script so there are less NFS requests it was stable. It looked like the problem accumulated over time and a counter or something alike reached its limit which then resulted in the core dump. Then the core dumps started again.

Proxy an unencrypted Oracle client
by Randall Smith 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

I'm trying to determine if it is possible to connect an Oracle client that is not configured for encrypted connections to a TLS or mTLS connected Oracle Autonomous database using an stunnel client connection. First I tested a TLS capable client to verify connectivity. Next I set up stunnel to make the same TLS connection. I have configured stunnel as follows: foreground = yes debug = info [oracle] accept = 127.0.0.1:1521 connect = adb.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com:1521 client = yes Next, I attempted a non-encrypted Oracle database connection to 127.0.0.1:1521, but got the following errors from stunnel: 2023.11.14 10:58:50 LOG6[0]: TLS connected: new session negotiated 2023.11.14 10:58:50 LOG6[0]: TLSv1.2 ciphersuite: AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256-bit encryption) 2023.11.14 10:58:50 LOG3[0]: SSL_read: ../ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:1065: error:14191044:SSL routines:tls1_enc:internal error 2023.11.14 10:58:50 LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 752 byte(s) sent to TLS, 8 byte(s) sent to socket ^C2023.11.14 10:58:57 LOG3[ui]: Received SIGINT; terminating Could this be a configuration issue in stunnel or might there be something in the Oracle database protocol itself that is different for TLS connections that would prevent tunneling?

Hi, Can you help me how to configure stunnel client to use TPM for mutual TLS authentication? I want to connect with mTLS to a remote server then make this connection available for localhost without mTLS. Thanks for your help in advance! Here is my configuration so far without TPM: debug = debug output = /tmp/stunnel.log foreground = yes [mtls_client] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:12019 sni = server-with-mtls.example.com checkHost = server-with-mtls.example.com connect = 1.2.3.4:443 verifyChain = yes CApath = /etc/ssl/certs/ cert = client.crt key = client.key Thanks & br, Gábor Nyíri,

two stunnels in the local network
by alessandro.deliperi＠ichnobyte.it 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hi everyone, this is my first question. I have successfully configured a stunnel (A) that does the job of it. I need to configure a second stunnel (B) that works in a more hidden network. When B connects to A, which connects to public mail server X I get a time out error. I bring you the logs, I think it is related to the fact that both stunnel servers are trying to establish a TLS session. Is there a way to solve? 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG5[0]: Service [smtp-tls] accepted connection from 192.168.0.109:46078 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG6[0]: s_connect: connecting 192.168.180.10:25 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 192.168.180.10:25: waiting 10 seconds 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: FD=6 events=0x2001 revents=0x0 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: FD=11 events=0x2005 revents=0x0 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 192.168.180.10:25 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG5[0]: Service [smtp-tls] connected remote server from 192.168.0.23:41156 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: Setting remote socket options (FD=11) 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on remote socket 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: Remote descriptor (FD=11) initialized 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: <- 220 mailservers 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: -> 220 mailservers 2023.11.02 08:42:10 LOG7[0]: -> EHLO localhost 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG7[0]: <- 250-email-smtp.posta 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG7[0]: <- 250-8BITMIME 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG7[0]: <- 250-STARTTLS 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG7[0]: <- 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG7[0]: <- 250 Ok 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG7[0]: -> STARTTLS 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG7[0]: <- 503 TLS not available due to temporary reason: TLS already active 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG3[0]: Remote server is not RFC 2487 compliant 2023.11.02 08:42:11 LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket

Suppressing warnings

TLSV1.0
by Stefano Pelli 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Dear all, as my first post, I am asking a confirmation: is TLS ver 1.0 still supported by stunnel (unfortunately, I need that deprecated version to access a server)? It all worked fine, then I upgraded to Kubuntu 22.04 and for some reason that broke the support of this protocol. I get the connection closed right after trying to open it. Before upgrading all was working without a hitch. Since then (1 year ago), I have been looking for solutions and trying all sorts of fixes by changing stunnel.conf, but with no success. Can you be so kind to give me some info about this and if possible a remedy until the server gets updated (not under my control)? Thank you in advance, Stefano

Today I tried a connection directly from openssl and I managed to succesfully initiate and conclude a proper POP3 dialog with the culprit server. Then, looking at the messages from openssl, I saw that the connection was established, as expected, by TLSV1 and AES256-SHA protocol. Therefore, I tried to force this in the relevant section of stunnel.conf: >ciphers = AES256-SHA But with the same result when trying to open the connection through stunnel (5.71) >telnet 127.0.1.1 110 >Trying 127.0.1.1... >Connected to 127.0.1.1. >Escape character is '^]'. >Connection closed by foreign host. With the other servers I can this way estblish a POP3 dialog, as I managed directly through openssl. What am I missing here? Thank you for any addition insights! Stefano

Stunnel is not a VPN, so no it can't "hide your browsing". Hiding your browsing needs more than just stunnel because of how DNS and other components for browsing work. Question 2 is beyond the scope of stunnel's list to answer. This said: If you have to ask how to hide your browsing that means you're violating your network's use policies, and with Fortinet and Fortigate in line it sounds like you're on a workplace network. Just don't use your workplace network for whatever shady stuff you're concerned about them finding you doing.
