s_poll_wait timeout: connection reset
by manoj kumar 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hi, We have a problem in our production system. Need help to isolate the cause. Want to know whether issue is with stunnel. We are not in situation to upgrade, since we are in production. Your help is appreciated. Environment: 1) Client program(java in win desktops) connect to server (solaris) Stunnel port which is forwarded locally to an inetd program which connects to oracle database. ( 2 Tier Architecture ) 2) Setup worked for almost 2 years without any issue, suddenly since last September, we have connection reset issue on app clients intermittently. 3) almost lots of clients ( in 100's ) get reset and we find 100's of below messages in /var/adm/messages file of solaris. stunnel: [ID 821868 daemon.info] LOG6[21204:5272]: s_poll_wait timeout: connection reset stunnel: [ID 821868 daemon.notice] LOG5[21204:4804]: Connecti on reset: 1867341 bytes sent to SSL, 55211 bytes sent to socket 4) After reset, Client attempt to relogin works without any issue. there is no pattern of load, time, no of users. 5) all the database, inetd program, stunnel runs with oracle userid 6) No other OS related, resource related errors in /var/adm/messages. 7) At this point, i dont have stunnel debug log during the problem occurrence , since we have cron job that recycles logs. if required will send later. 8) Interms of change happend before the first occurance of issue, we did CPU/RAM upgrade, Oracle Database CPU Patch. But database team says no errors reported on oracle side during reset. 9) Max users on database is around 1024, which our max users is 300. ******************************************************************** Config: #/usr/local/bin/stunnel -version stunnel 4.25 on sparc-sun-solaris2.10 with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 (+ security fixes for: CVE-2005-2969 CVE-2006-2937 CVE-2006-2940 CVE-2006-3738 CVE-2006-4339 CVE-2006-4343 CVE-2007-5135 CVE-2007-3108 CVE-2008-5077 CVE-2009-0590 CVE-2009-3555) Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:!DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:!AES256-SHA:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none ------------------------------------------------- #uname -a SunOS xxxxxxxxxx 5.10 Generic_144488-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise --------------------------------------------------------------------- # gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs Configured with: /sfw10/builds/build/sfw10-patch/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 (+ security fixes for: CVE-2005-2969 CVE-2006-2937 CVE-2006-2940 CVE-2006-3738 CVE-2006-4339 CVE-2006-4343 CVE-2007-5135 CVE-2007-3108 CVE-2008-5077 CVE-2009-0590 CVE-2009-3555) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # more avaloq.conf ( Ssl config file we use /usr/local/bin/stunnel /opt/app/ssl/stunnel.conf ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2006 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Please make sure you understand them (especially the effect of chroot jail) ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /opt/app/ssl/cert.pem key = /opt/app/ssl/cert.pem ; Protocol version (all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1) sslVersion = all ; Some security enhancements for UNIX systems - comment them out on Win32 ;chroot = /usr/local/var/lib/stunnel/ ;setuid = nobody ;setgid = nogroup ; PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /opt/app/ssl/avaloq_ssl/avaloq.pid ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = rle ; Workaround for Eudora bug ;options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Authentication stuff ;verify = 2 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath ; CApath is located inside chroot jail ;CApath = /certs ; It's often easier to use CAfile ;CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/certs.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath ; CRLpath is located inside chroot jail ;CRLpath = /crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile ;CRLfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = /db/avaloq/export/stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode ;client = yes ; Service-level configuration [application] accept =7766 connect =localhost:7767 TIMEOUTconnect = 60 ;[pop3s] ;accept = 995 ;connect = 110 ;[imaps] ;accept = 993 ;connect = 143 ;[ssmtp] ;accept = 465 ;connect = 25 ;[https] ;accept = 443 ;connect = 80 ;TIMEOUTclose = 0 ; vim:ft=dosini -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #netstat -an |grep 7766 |wc -l 249 Regards, kumar

What legal issues come up if I use GPL-incompatible libraries with GPL software?
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Dear Users, I just noticed some people declare GPL license on stunnel patches. Since stunnel uses GPL license *with OpenSSL exception* (OpenSSL license is not GPL-compatible), it cannot be distributed if it is linked against any GPL code (patches, libraries) without this exception. It is still legal to distribute stunnel with patches that use GPL license with OpenSSL exception. Such patches constitute forks of stunnel and will *never* be accepted to my source tree. Third party patches rarely meet my quality criteria, but I occasionally accept patches released as public domain or having their copyright ownership transferred to me. Also see: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Fork_%28software_development… Mike

Re: [stunnel-users] Multi Tunnel Support in STunnel
by Narendra Prasad Madanapalli 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

I'm sorry, if my previous mail explained the problem differently. Stunnel does load balancing when multiple connect statements are specified in a section as in the below mail. The scenario is something like http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2006-May/001139.html and explained below N servers each running a service of the same service-program (e.g: ip1:2345, ip2:2345, ... ipN:2345) A management server running on a different server (ipM:6789) is required to connect to all or a subset of the above servers through stunnel based on the user request. I couldn't find this feature supported by stunnel in the man page. I would appreciate if you provide any information on this. Thanks, Narendra. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Narendra Prasad Madanapalli wrote: > > connect = ip1:5678,ip2:5678,ip3:5678,...ipn:5678 > > > > Anyone can please let me know the steps to configure the stunnel if > > the support is already in place or provide your thoughts on the new > > support? > > > Use multiple "connect" options within a single section: > connect = ip1:5678 > connect = ip2:5678 > connect = ip3:5678 > ... > connect = ipn:5678 > > Reading The Fine Manual would answer your question.

Stunnel forwarding IP
by oscaruser＠programmer.net 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Folks, For my server daemon process, I am accepting incoming requests only from pre-seeded IP addrs. Using Stunnel, I am finding connecting IPs are '127.0.0.1' or localhost. Is there any configuration or solution to represent incoming IPs for the given file descriptor belonging to their originating IP addrs? Thank you.

stunnel with FIPS and SIGHUP
by Eric Lambert 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hello, I am having difficulting when running stunnel in FIPS mode and using a SIGHUP to get stunnel to re-read it's configuration file (for instance if I've changed a port # or IP address for one of the connections). This causes stunnel to call the SSL routine FIPS_mode_set() a second time after receiving the SIGHUP, which in turn attempts to reinitialize SSL. Unfortunately, OpenSSL does not support calling FIPS_mode_set(1) more than once. The initialization of SSL becomes incomplete as a result of the 2nd call and subsequent attempts to use stunnel to establish encrypted connections fail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this work (besides killing and restarting stunnel)? If not, I have a proposed fix (and there are multiple ways that this could be addressed). Anyway, my suggestion is to add the following two lines to the ssl_configure() function (found in the file "ssl.c"), right before the current FIPS_mode_set() routine is called: FIPS_mode_set(0); RAND_set_rand_method(NULL); The function currently looks like: int ssl_configure(void) { /* configure global SSL settings */ #ifdef USE_FIPS if(!FIPS_mode_set(global_options.option.fips)) { ERR_load_crypto_strings(); sslerror("FIPS_mode_set"); return 0; } s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "FIPS mode %s", global_options.option.fips ? "enabled" : "disabled"); #endif /* USE_FIPS */ : : } With the suggested fix, it would look as follows: int ssl_configure(void) { /* configure global SSL settings */ #ifdef USE_FIPS FIPS_mode_set(0); RAND_set_rand_method(NULL); if(!FIPS_mode_set(global_options.option.fips)) { ERR_load_crypto_strings(); sslerror("FIPS_mode_set"); return 0; } s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "FIPS mode %s", global_options.option.fips ? "enabled" : "disabled"); #endif /* USE_FIPS */ : : } Does the above seem reasonable. Could this change, or some other modification which would support using SIGHUP with FIPS, be considered for a future stunnel update? Thanks for your help.

Multi Tunnel Support in STunnel
by Narendra Prasad Madanapalli 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi, Current stunnel implementation is based on peer-to-peer communication and it cannot be used in the environment where a management server wants to talk to multi-site server (i.e. an instance of server running in different sites). Multi Tunnel support for Stunnel enables a Management Server to communicate with Multisite Server. But it requires extending Stunnel with a new protocol whereby Management Server & Client Stunnel Process communicates. 1. The new stunnel conf for multi tunnel (keeping backward compatibility) look like [singleTunnelServiceName] accept = aport connect = ip:cport [serviceName] multitunnel = yes accept = 1234 connect = ip1:5678,ip2:5678,ip3:5678,...ipn:5678 Anyone can please let me know the steps to configure the stunnel if the support is already in place or provide your thoughts on the new support? Thanks, Narendra.

Re: [stunnel-users] Question of stunnel/openssl for X86 processor -- Pierre's patch

Hi Jiehua, Please review the instructions on my webpage : in particular use my compilation scripts, and look inside them to know the syntax. It is quite simple : makece X86 for stunnel. For openssl, "mywcebuild X86". It works. Let me know if you have problems. Pierre Le 10/01/2011 17:40, Li, Jiehua a écrit : > Dear Pierre and Dear Stunnel Users, > > We are trying to build stunnel for WinCE on X86 processor.

RFC: purge use of keyword 'transparent'

Folks, After searching, installing various Linuces (in the 2.6 family), e.g. CentOS, Ubuntu, and so on, I have not been able to get transparent proxy working at all. As such since it the function does not work, and there is great debate as to whether it ever worked, I would like to propose that this keyword and reference to its function be discarded entirely. This will save many folks a great deal of time and effort attempting to try and get it to work, myself having spent over 80 hours (including my precious holiday time) trying to dig, scratch, research up old posts that say it works or someone has it working under such and such a configuration! The documentation itself has folks claiming that it works and does not, which is really a bad practice. Why did you perpetuate this option in the first place?! I hope you see the importance and reason with my request and act immediately. ... Unless someone really really does have it working. Thank you

How can I configure Intermediate Certificate
by Carlos García Villate 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi. Two months ago, we installed our SSL certificate with stunnel succesfully. That certificate was issued by Verisign. We did not experience any issues. A few weeks ago, we had to renew that certficate and after doing that, we started to get 'Invalid certificate' errors form our web site users. It seems that the new certificate issued by Verisign, has changed its hierarchy, and browsers like FF that do not have one of the necessary intermediate certificate registered fail. This is the new hierarchy: - VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 - VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G3 - www.b-kin.com It is the 'VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G3' certificate the one that most FF browsers do not have registered, and so the browsers reject the request with an 'Invalid certificate' message. To solve this issue, we are trying to incorporate the 'VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G3' certificate in the .pem file, where our www.b-kin.comcertificate is installed. We have tried to include the Verisign certificate first and then the other one; and the other way round, first our certificate and then the Verisign one, but without success. The Verisign certificate has been directly taken from the Verisign web site. The .pem file has following structure: Bag Attributes heading section ..... -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ..... -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Bag Attributes heading section -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- /*We have alternated to put here the www.b-kin.com or the Verisign certificate*/ ..... -----END CERTIFICATE----- Bag Attributes heading section -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- /*We have alternated to put here the www.b-kin.com or the Verisign certificate*/ ..... -----END CERTIFICATE----- We are running stunnel on CentOS with the following configuration: stunnel 4.32 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE,FIPS Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = daemon.notice pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = FIPS session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = TLSv1 TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none As we have seen in the documentation, it is possible to include a certificate hierarchy in a .pem file. What we do not know is the order nor the values to set int Bag Attributes heading section, for the Verisign certificate. Best regards, Carlos.

15 Dec '10

Dear Users, I have uploaded stunnel-4.35b1 to ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/ for your testing. Please give it a shot and submit any problems to stunnel-users mailing list. This is the way you can not only help me improve production 4.35, but also make sure it's going to work on your platform! Please consider version 4.35b1 highly experimental and not ready for production. Specifically it is no supposed to be packaged for any OS distribution (e.g. *BSD ports).

endpoints using different versions of stunnel
by nishith n 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hello all, We have a client who would like to send us data using stunnel 4.33 at their end of the connection. Can we establish connection from our end using stunnel 4.11 version. We are working on a sun machine. I know I can simply download the latest stunnel version but it has to go through an authorization process which probably will take more time than I have and hence this question. What could be the impacts to connectivity or otherwise with such a setup? Thanks for your replies, Nishith

stunnel and IE6 issue
by Bill Tindal 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi, I have stunnel running in front of HaProxy and everything is working fine however IE6 users cannot access our HTTPS pages and are instead shown a 'Page cannot be found'. They can access normal pages. Obviously there's something that stunnel doesn't like about IE6 (who doesn't) but I'm at a loss as to what changes to make to the stunnel conf. My conf for stunnel is below: ------------------------------------------------ sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 fips = no setuid = root setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 output = /var/log/stunnel.log [secure.domain.com] cert = /usr/local/openssl/certs/secure.domain.com.crt key = /usr/local/openssl/certs/secure.domain.com.key accept = X.X.X.X:443 connect = X.X.X.X:81 xforwardedfor = yes TIMEOUTclose = 0

Hi, >From what I read the examples in stunnel site it possible to wrap VPN's using Stunnel tool. Is it possible to do it for openvpn packets? I can configure thru the openvpn configurations that it packets will go thru port 80 and use TCP but the packets are not http pure. I need to wrap this packets using the stunnel tool.

Is it possible to wrap openvpn thru stunnel to HTTP-Like
by UARE1234 28 Nov '10

28 Nov '10

Hi, I understand that it is possible to wrap VPN's using Stunnel tool. How Can I do that for openvpn. The purpose is to use openvpn over http like. OpenVPN can establish an HTTP connection to a proxy server, where it will issue a CONNECT to establish a binary connection to the VPN server on port 443/TCP. This works in 99,9% but not in this case since I am talking about a very restrictive network but yet Skype for example works on it since it works in a way of http like. I will appreceate if someone can give me a solution for combinig Stunnel and openvpn or other tool if possible.

Enhance description of transparent mode in FAQ
by Ivan Trancik 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hello, I would suggest to improve 'transparent = yes | no (Unix only)' section of http://www.stunnel.org/faq/stunnel.html#service_level_options and how this option work on OS X. I think that this part remote mode (I<connect> option) on Linux >=2.6.28 remote mode (I<connect> option) 2.2.x local mode (I<exec> option) is not clear. Remote mode is a "I<connect> option"? What the heck? And local mode is a "I<exec> option"? Does this "I" thingie stand for unnamed pipe or capital "i" or small cap "L"?? I ran to this problem when I tried to set up stunnel on Mac OS X and carelessly used some example config on web. Setting "transparent = yes" in Mac OS X will result in very funny behavior. Consider this conf debug=7 output=stunnel.log verify=0 foreground=yes client=yes pid= [https] accept=localhost:8080 connect=google.com:443 transparent=yes will result in unbelievable error - "local_bind (original port): Address family not supported by protocol family (47)" Using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost will do better - "Service https bound to 127.0.0.1:8080" - BUT when you try to access 127.0.0.1:8080 nothing reasonable happens and log will show another strange error "connect_blocking: connect <ip_address>: Network is unreachable (51)" The next spectacular thing is that when you use only localhost connect and accept parameter, than transparent=yes works OK. I would suggest rewriting that part to reflect these kind of situations in more clear way - they are very hard to debug, and honestly I couldn't figure it out even though I read FAQ several times. Final question - is it possible on OS X (which doesn't have iptables interface, but has ipfw) to set up transparent proxy tunnel with stunnel? Thanks.

ssl renegotiation
by Joe Williams 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

List, How does one secure stunnel from man in the middle attacks regarding ssl renegotiation. I have seen http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_options.html#SECURE_RENEGOTIATI… but I couldn't tell if stunnel is affected by it, nor what I could do outside of installing a newer version of openssl to prevent it. Additionally I did a scan on www.ssllabs.com and it stated that insecure renegotiation was supported, which isn't good. I am running 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.4, the standard version that ships with ubuntu 10.04, and stunnel 4.32. What can I do to configure stunnel to protect myself? My current config is below. Thanks. -Joe ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /etc/stunnel/file.crt key = /etc/stunnel/file.key foreground = yes debug = 5 ciphers = DES-CBC3-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5 ; Protocol version (all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1) sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 ; Some security enhancements for UNIX systems - comment them out on Win32 chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4/ setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 ; PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /stunnel4.pid ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Service-level configuration [https] accept = 443 connect = localhost:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 Name: Joseph A.

SMPP Protocol and STunnel
by Pathak, Apurva (Apu) 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

Hello, I would like to find out if I can use STunnel as follows: I have a stand alone C# executable program that uses a third party SDK that implements SMPP protocol and sends SMS text messages with wireless carriers. Recently, one of the wireless carriers wants us to implement SSL Client Authentication and wants SMPP messages that are exchanged with them to be encrypted after the client authentication is done. I want to find out if I can use STunnel running so that STunnel can encrypt and decrypt the messages exchanged between my program and the carrier's SMS server. (1) Is this possible with STunnel? (2) What are the steps involved? I am on the Windows Server 2003 platform. I would really appreciate a reply. Thanks, Apu

Dear All, Please find enclosed a patch in "diff -cr orig patched" format, applying to stunnel4.34 as found here ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/. This patch mainly addresses compilation and unicode issues for Windows CE targets + ONE critical issue preventing stunnel to service anything (!). I use MS EVC 4sp2 compiler with WCE 420 SDK, on a vista host platform. Once debugged the code works fine on WM6 HTC smartphones. Should work on WM5. It needs a windows CE openssl lib (I recompiled MY patched version of openssl 1.0.0a successfully: I will have to log a patch to those gentlemen, hoping that they are open to integrate it, something not so obvious in the past). I will later post here a link to my patch for openssl 100a pointing to the openssl mailing list. THIS OPENSSL PATCH IS ESSENTIAL : with my older version of openssl 098pre_j for wce, stunnel does not work anymore (it crashes after first cnx). The present stunnel patch addresses the following issues : ************* I] COMPILATION FAILURES 1/ on common.h "EINVAL redefinition" : in fact the compile options WX (see evc.mak) does not tolerate any warning : The MS evc420 compiler ALWAYS issues a warning on this symbol redefinition. Michal and I are dealing with it since month... But, considering that NEITHER Exxx error codes are used in stunnel, I suggest that in fact ALL these redef should be suppressed. TODO: In the future a proper rewrite of code in log.c, where hardcoded values of WSA error codes are used instead of symbolic constant, will have to be done. 2/ client.c CreateProcess is a UNICODE function: code was ascii only. Code has been adapted to work in unicode. 3/ evc.mak path to new openssl lib has been redefined. proper location for the libs in openssl tree has been set in the make-install block (although this block is presently USELESS and needs a complete rewrite). 4/ gui.c All code using hmainmenu is OFF under winCE. So some new lines involving it were not compiling. 5/ options.c linger_val.l_linger and linger_val.l_onoff require ushort values. Strict type checking of the compiler required a proper cast to ushort of the r-values. stralloc uses "strdup": on Win32 and winCE strdup is _strdup (!). 6/ prototypes.h : _beginthread was defined as returning an int, an a long in sthread.c. After some checking in various documentations, long is the correct type, in particular because _beginthread can return the special error value "-1L". So that unsigned types are illogical. This simplifies the code in some locations, by saving some -now useless- casts. 7/ sthread.c create_client: suppressed some useless cast to (long) for beginthread. ************* II] OPERATIONAL ERRORS (at run-time) This is a reminder of previous notification to the mailing list : due to beginthread improper code and/or use, It is presently IMPOSSIBLE for stunnel 434 to be used in production on WCE: it is just unable to service any...service. Nothing happens if, for example, you use it to connect to an https server. No log either ! I corrected the code with both Michal patch to gui.c and mine to sthread.c: gui.c (Michal patch) : _beginthread was called with 0 as stacksize which, cumulated to an improper coding of sthread/beginthread, led to FAILURE of service thread creation. sthread.c: _beginthread : now supports "0" stacksize value, leading to default linker stack size (1MB by default unless specified differently on the linker command line, something we do not yet perform but could). ************* III] MINOR IMPROVMENT _beginthread: added a log on critical event of "failure" to create a service thread. because I think it is a critical event, isn't it? I hope you will find this patch useful. Thank you for your excellent work, Yours sincerely, Pierre Delaage Note : I use stunnel to establish a simple "vpn" between smartphones and a corporate linux server mainly for HTTPS/POPS/SMTPS support. Stunnel is very relevant in that matter, over solutions based on SSH (although we use also ssh), from a communication cost point of view : ssh establishes permanent socket between client and server, so that the communication is charged by the mobile network provider : and these charges are very expensive. On the contrary stunnel only establishes ssl sockets on demand so that financial charges are limited to strict necessary. Please note that stunnel brings "client based certificate authentication" to POP/SMTP mobile mail user agents which only BASICALLY supports SSL with server authentication, but NO client authentication, such as M$ Outlook for Mobile (unless you pay for an exchange server and exchange client licence). Here again stunnel is very relevant. Note 2 : the strdup and unicode bug fixes should benefit also to the win32 (for PC) stunnel version for PC.

CApath hash calculation broken (ver 4.34)?
by Konstantin Suvorov 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hello, I’m trying to setup client-server SSL connection with “level 3” verification on server side. I use 4.34 precompiled binary package for win32. I put client certificates into CApath folder with hashed filenames (I use openssl x509 -hash to get them). And nothing works: I get “bad certificate”. After sniffing for filenames stunnel server is looking for I found out that they are not matching the hash values I got with openssl tool. I downloaded openssl binaries (ver. 0.9.8o) and put them into the stunnel folder. This fixed the bug with wrong filename request inside stunnel, but it started to crash after connection is initiated. I tried to install stunnel (fresh download of 4.34) on another computer – the same problem: requested hash-filename is not equal to actual one. Does anybody know how to fix this? Regards, Konstantin.

STunnel / Memory Usage / 4 Second Lag
by Jesse Proudman 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

We have an account running on STunnel that has been operating just fine for the last 9 days. This morning, all of a sudden, stunnel memory usage spiked to consume the entire available memory on the machine, and response time went from sub 1 second to 4+ seconds. Nothing has changed in the load balanced service itself, the configuration, or any of the traffic numbers. Restarting stunnel gets us between 5 and 60 seconds of normal response times before spiking in memory and going back to 4 seconds. Has any one seen this before? Thanks - Jesse

Difficulty to compile with alternate 64 bit openssl libraries
by Philippe A. 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hello, I am having a problem when I compile stunnel against 64 bit openssl libraries: ./configure --prefix $HOME/tls --with-threads=fork --with-ssl=/opt2/openssl stunnel will end up using default libraries in /lib (which I can't remove from my environment). The workaround we have found is to modify the configure script and to force the LIBS variable to use "lib64" instead of "lib". # Add SSL includes and libraries CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$ssldir/include" LIBS="$LIBS -L$ssldir/lib64 -lssl -lcrypto" #- <---- Is this a known problem? Is there another way around this without changing the configure script? Thanks!

Reg:libwrap is not working with stunnel 4.34
by mohan raj 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Hi, I successfully cross compiled the Stunnel version 4.34 with OpenSSL version 1.0.0a for arm-linux.i want to use this stunnel with my own application which will communicate with outer world through LAN or GPRS.currently i am testing stunnel with telnet application.Its working fine.I am able to telnet to arm board through SSL enabled telnet terminal software.Now i want restrict the access.so i used the /etc/hosts/allow and /etc/hosts.deny files with my chrroot directory as "/".but stunnel is not at all cared about libwrap service.its not checking those files.if i give libwrap=yes in stunnel.conf file its says "specified option name is not valid here".i compiled stunnel with the option --enable-libwrap and gave the libwrap lib also through LDFLAGS.here with i attached my stunnel version information file, stunnel .conf file also.i think its due to configuration???still i don`t know what to do???so please guys help me out. Thanks & Regards S.Thiyagarajan.

I submitted my request via a CSR file created with OPENSSL. I've attempted to put the data into the file pointed at in the stunnel.conf file but this error continues to haunt me. My previous key was 256, but when making this key I created a 1024 key and used that for the CSR file. I've also added the Intermediate certificate information to the file. Any information on what could be the problem is greatly appreciated. Version: 4.34 Thanks, Ken

FD_SETSIZE still an option in stunnel 4.34?
by Saikat Chakrabarti 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Hi, I am having some issues with my server where connections are getting dropped once I hit a hard limit of around 350 connections. This may or may not be an issue with my stunnel configuration, but I ran across some old posts saying that stunnel by default has a hard limit of around 500 connections and, to get around this, to set FD_SETSIZE at compile time (I found this on the troubleshooting page - http://www.stunnel.org/faq/troubleshooting.html). However, one of the release notes recently also had a comment saying 'no more FD_SETSIZE limit!' - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg38373.html. So my questions are: 1) Does FD_SETSIZE still exist in Stunnel 4.34 and could it be a reason why I am seeing a limit on the number of people that can make a connection? I already tried running stunnel after setting ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn to 4096, and it did not seem to make a difference. 2) More noobish question - how do I set the FD_SETSIZE at compile time? I saw in the troubleshooting that it said to do "-DFD_SETSIZE=4096" at compile time. Is this something I should be adding in one of the Makefiles? Some more info about my setup: - I am using stunnel as a layer in front of Node.js to secure websockets and HTTP connections. - I'm running stunnel 4.34 - I am running stunnel from a startup script in /etc/init.d - it runs as a daemon process - I run stunnel with no params, but with this config file - http://pastebin.com/3Yr80ma1 - uname -a output: Linux gomockingbird.com 2.6.18.8-linode22 #1 SMP Tue Nov 10 16:12:12 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux - gcc -v output: Using built-in specs.

Many services on the same port (VirtualHost)
by Hugo 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello all! Does anyone knows a way to make many services listening on the same port? I've got one stunnel4 server which allows me to crypt two http servers. The first service bind on port 465 and the second on 470. What I will is to let user access on the port 465 using 2 different ServerNames. Thank you in anticipation, and excuse me for my quite bad english =D

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel-users Digest, Vol 75, Issue 13
by Hugo 31 Oct '10

It's what I wanted to do: redirect the public 443 port on the correct local stunnel "accept:" port or service. I'd set 3 services with 3 different certificates on 3 ports. By eg, my first domain is ssl.example.com and the second admin.example.com. These two records point on the same IP. Stunnel has two services on that, so it binds two ports (!=443) (eg, 7100 and 7200) Is there a way to stunnel (or another program) bind on port 443 and, if user connects on ssl.example.com, forward frames/respond using the service/port 7100, and the same for admin.example.com on 7200? https://ssl.example.com ==> https://ssl.example.com:7100 https://admin.example.com ==>https://admin.example.com:7200 ?

I am not sure what you are trying to do. You want clients to connect via https to ports 465 on two different IPs and then stunnel to forward them to the appropriate http daemon? I am not sure if stunnel works in that method - that is the reverse of what I use stunnel for - I connect via an unencrypted connection, and forward via stunnel to an encrypted daemon. And if you are talking about virtually hosting https connections, that will work, as long as the certificate contains both servernames - you can't use two different certificates, because you don't know which certificate to serve until after the connection is encrypted.

Thanks for the answer, but it seems I haven't got access to IPTables (my stunnel is on a remote shell service) and I think using a webserver is not a good solution for that case. So does anyone knows a program able to bind on a single port, and redirect requests on another depending on the domain name?

I can compile and run it without problems with just the two *eay32 dlls. And we've finally figured out the other bug, where it works on my computer, and not on someone else's. It has to do with ipv6 support, and it didn't go away even after I ./config --disable-ipv6, which that flag is (mostly?) ignored in the windows builds, due to the dynamic LoadLibrary calls. On one computer, stunnel connects on the ipv6 port, but then when running "telnet localhost 7000", it connects via the ipv4 port, and so fails. If we force stunnel to use ipv4 by using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, everything works fine. My guess is that his computer is partially/incorrectly configured for ipv6, and so that is the reason for the failure. I'm planning on removing the LoadLibrary calls to force ipv6 to be off, though it'd be nice to not do that, since someday, there will be an ipv6-only network that we'll have to deal with presumably. -- Jon Daley http://jon.limedaley.com ~~ For many people, one of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being to understand other people's behavior.

openssl cross compiling for windows
by Jon Daley 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

I am trying to compile openssl and stunnel for Win32, using my Debian host. openssl compilation: ./Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- mingw shared no-zlib && make The only problem I'm having is that libssl32.dll is not being created. I have the other libssl* files: libssl.a libssl.dll.a libssl.pc So, then I download the precompiled dlls of openssl from here: http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html But, they require an additional vc redistributable, and since it seems like I'm so close, it'd be nice to finish it off the rest of the way. stunnel compiles fine pointing it at the openssl directory, but on run-time, it complains that libssl32.dll can't be found. Thanks. -- Jon Daley http://jon.limedaley.com ~~ There are no traffic jams when you go the extra mile. -- Anonymous

Stunnel dropping data on binary uploads from most browsers.
by Bill Crowell 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

All, I'm hoping that someone can assist with this. I'm using Stunnel on 2 different systems: Mac and FC 13 to front-end my web server for a custom database system. It works flawlessly except for uploading large binary files. The problem comes when trying to upload say a 2.5MB image file. The number of bytes actually transferred to the exec program is usually under 1K or right at about 33K. Using Firefox on Windows works all the time. I can observe the transfer by watching the stunnel.log file. When the data is piped into the openSSL engine, the number of bytes written to socket is being picked up by the exec program and processed so the loss is between the browser and the output side of Stunnel.

In all tests the number of bytes sent to socket matches what the exec program is receiving in its pipe. My feeling is that there is a connection issue between the browser and Stunnel. The successful upload of the test occurs sometimes with all browsers and appears to always work with Firefox for Windows. It has a 90% failure rate on Safari for Windows, Safari for Mac, Opera for Windows, Opera for Mac, etc. In all cases of testing, the number of bytes "sent to socket" is received by my exec program and consists of a truncated message from the browser. It appears that the data is simply being truncated somewhere in the Stunnel process. Any help is always appreciated! If there are more tests to be run to track down the problem, please advise and I will run them.

Recompiling Stunnel at version 4.34 appears to fix dropped data problem
by Bill Crowell 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

I reported a consistent data loss from most browsers when transferring large files. Compiling version 4.34 on Mac OS X 10.6.4 with the latest Xcode toolkit has resolved the connection problem for all browsers that I have tested except for Safari 5.0 on both Windows and Mac. It has also fixed a connection problem with IE 6 which was not accepting any connection to Stunnel prior to this installation. *** This problem still persists on my linux box running 4.33 installed from FC13. I will attempt a compile of 4.34 and see if this fixes the problem there as well. Fedora does not yet have a package for 4.34.

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel daemon mode

Ah I see, so running a single process (w/ pthreads) under runit I get the same effect as daemon mode. Correct? -Joe Name: Joseph A.

stunnel daemon mode
by Joe Williams 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

According to http://www.sans.org/reading_room/whitepapers/vpns/stunnel-ssling-internet-s… In addition, Stunnel performance is improved by running it in daemon mode instead of inetd. Running Stunnel in daemon mode provides the following benefits: no SSL initialization necessary with every connection, and SSL session caching. Is this still the case? Running in the foreground you don't get these? Thanks. -Joe Name: Joseph A. Williams Email: joe(a)joetify.com Blog: http://www.joeandmotorboat.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/williamsjoe

fingerprint does not match
by Nelson 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

I have a running machine with stunnel installed for HTTPS services. Now, I want to setup another machine using the same configuration and key from my 1ST machine. I have installed stunnel patch with x-forwarded-for. However, everytime I try to start it up, it shows: Starting universal SSL tunnel: stunnelReading configuration from file /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf FIPS_mode_set: 2D06C06E: error:2D06C06E:FIPS routines:FIPS_mode_set:fingerprint does not match failed. I'm using the same key and cert that my 1ST machine is using. Would there be a problem? I've no problem starting stunnel yesterday. I just encountered this error when I change my ip address. I make sure that my config also listen to this ip address. Would anyone know how to fix this problem? Tried to Google but to no avail.
