Connection Refused locally, SSL Proxy.
by Avner Peled 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hello! I have a game client connecting to a server using TCP over SSL. I'm trying to setup an SSL proxy using 2 stunnels on the same server like so: Client --> Stunnel-Server:20001 (decrypt)--> Stunnel-Client:901 (encrypt)---> Server:20001 Using latest stunnel-4.21-r1 on Gentoo kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 I have a weird problem. The first connection after starting both stunnels works fine. Afterwards every time the client tries to connect, it gets refused once. Then it tries again and gets connected. Then the next time it will once again get refused once and then connect. I have looked at the logs and it seems the Stunnel server (the first) gets Connection Refused from localhost:901. Then it tries again and gets connected. The Stunnel client (the second) doesn't even mention the first failing local connection in the log. I have provided the config files of both stunnels and a log with debug = 7 (server ip's are censored) I have also tried the following config tweaks with no luck socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 TIMEOUTclose = 0 retry = yes Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! -- Avner Peled. avnerus(a)gmail.com

debug level 7
by Damian Wiest 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, I'm new to stunnel and have run into some unexpected behavior. I'm inclined to think it's a bug, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding some things. I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 with stunnel 4.21 (installed via ports collection). I'm able to configure things properly when using stunnel in daemon mode, but am unable to run stunnel from inetd when I set the debug level to 7. Here's the config file I'm using, cert = /usr/local/CA/stunnel.pem key = /usr/local/CA/stunnel.pem sslVersion = all pid = /var/log/swat-stunnel.pid debug = 7 output = /tmp/stunnel.log exec = /usr/local/sbin/swat execargs = swat ...and the inetd.conf entry, swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/sbin/stunnel stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/swat.conf If I connect to port 901, some debug messages are written to the socket, dwiest(a)dfwdamian.vail: telnet localhost 901 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1...

Shouldn't they go to either syslog, or to the file specified with the "output" option? I dug through the source code and discovered that file_putline() is being called from parse_config() before open_log() has been called. This results in file_putline() writing to stderr instead of the specified output file. If this is known behavior, then it would be nice if the man page mentioned something. -Damian

rtmps with stunnel
by David Schulberg 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi, A while ago I reported an issue with using rtmps on linux to connect to a Red5 server through stunnel. I am having no issues on Windows. The rtmps connection is made from Flash code running in the browser. The error reported on Linux was 'SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected' which occurs straight after 'SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization' . Now I am having a similar problem trying to connect from a MAC. In this case I also get 'SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected' which occurs straight after 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data It seems to get further on the MAC but still fails.

stunnel with Fedora core
by Andy 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hello everyone I am trying to configure stunnel on a Fedora Core machine, but have had little luck. The below configuration is in the /etc/stunne/stunnel.conf. I want this machine to send encrypted data to another machine via stunnel. My knowledge of stunnel is quite limited. chroot = /home/stunnel pid = /stunnel.pid setuid = stunnel setgid = stunne; debug = 7 output = /var/log/messages client = yes [ldap] accept = 389 connect = ldap.example.com:636 I have been told that this command will work. stunnel -c -d ldaps -r <LDAPSERVER>:ldaps This command does work under debian but does not work under fedora core. Can anyone help me with this? -- REGARDS, Andy

Debian Bug#460019: cert= produces output on stderr even with log= set
by Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

----- Forwarded message from Bryan Donlan <bd(a)fushizen.net> ----- Version: 3:4.21-1 With the following configuration: output = /srv/stun/log compression = zlib CApath = /srv/stun/keys cert = /srv/stun/server.pem connect = localhost:9999 verify = 3 The following is output on stderr: 2008.01.10 02:54:19 LOG5[11786:3083495088]: Peer certificate location /srv/stun/keys This confuses clients when stunnel is driven direcly from xinetd. This output, if it is produced at all, should be placed in the log file. ----- End forwarded message ----- The issue is that verify_init (verify.c:103) calls s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "Peer certificate location %s", section->ca_dir); apparently before the logfile is setup. Could the log file initialization be moved earlier in the starup sequence? Or maybe this log call's severity could be lowered.

Nessus crashes stunnel

I am running some tests against my stunnel configuration with Nessus. I am able to get stunnel to exit silently when I run Nessus with the Nessus TCP Scan and Weak Supported SSL Cipher Suites test.

The following is an educated guess: Open connections are open file descriptors, and fork()/exec() do not close open file descriptors. Thus, stunnel is inheriting the open connection. And, since it knows nothing about it, it does not close it or anything like that. So it's not that it activelly listens on it, but only that it does not bother to stop. You might check this theory by trying to connect to the port *after* apache is shut down. If I'm right you should get no answer at all. So, the solution is to have the file descriptors close when exec'ing stunnel. PHP or apache might have some option somewhere to do that (look for "close on exec" or something similarly named), but if not, you might have to write some sort of wrapper to do it. It's a messy thing, because AFAIK there's no clean way to do it short of for (i = 0; i < [some-hopefuly-large-enough-value]; i++) close(i); where the [large-enough-value] is determined by your system's file descriptor limit and your desire not to loop all the way to 2^32 or something. -- Rodrigo i-think-this-time-i-answered-the-question-asked Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28

stunnel automatically listening to extra ports: BAD
by Alan Pinstein 11 Jan '08

11 Jan '08

Hi All- I am using stunnel to secure a connection between a local python script using telnetlib and a custom sockets-based server requiring SSL, from local port 4449 to remote port 4449. This is done via: stunnel /opt/www/domains/admin.showcasere.com/showcase/classes/ opensrs-php/stunnel-app.conf where the conf file is: > client = yes > pid = /opt/www/domains/admin.showcasere.com/runtime/stunnel.pid > debug = 7 > [telnet] > accept = 4449 > connect = admin.hostedemail.com:4449 Functionally, everything works for my application, but I am experiencing a bad side-effect. stunnel is ALSO setting up listeners on HTTP and HTTPS ports, and when my daily logrotate scripts run and HUP apache, stunnel steals the web server's ports and the server won't come back up! I had 7 hours of downtime today because of this. I've done a bunch of debugging and can't figure out what's going on. I have only one guess: stunnel automatically listens on any ports that the process calling stunnel is listening on, in some sort of attempt to seamlessly add SSL to existing daemons. I can't find any docs or tell from the source code, but it's the only idea I can't rule out... Here is the debug log of the startup of stunnel (which is run from an apache/php script): Jan 11 13:10:13 bigwoody stunnel: LOG5[13964:3086333632]: stunnel 4.14 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? How can I turn off this behavior? Thanks! Alan

You sent the private keys too - you shouldn't do this. You should create new keys when done debugging this problem. I saw only 2 keys - the CA and the stunnel.pem. Your configuration specifies 3 keys, the CA, stunnel.pem, and is attempting to verify the SSL client (browser? something else) against the CA via the 'verify=' line. What is the SSL client? Did you generate a key for it? Because your config is requiring the SSL client authenticate itself, and Stunnel is dropping the connection because that phase isn't working correctly. -- Brian Hatch "So, what's the problem?"

Can you shoot the public keys of the client (which is not on this machine) and the ca.pem and the public key from userkey.pem (which is actually the server's key - you may wish to rename.) There are three pems involved: * the CA key (private) and cert (public) in ca.pem * the stunnel server's key (private) and cert (public) in userkey.pem.

Missing Something Basic on Config
by Steve 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

Using stunnel for NNTPS. Stunnel starts without any apparent problems (log looks normal), but simply doesn't intercept packets from my news reader. There is no activity in the log and sniffing the packets shows everything happening on 119. My understanding of the concept is that there are no configuration changes needed in the newsreader; IOW, I leave it pointing to the unsecured NNTP server with the port set to 119. I fear I'm missing something very obvious. BTW, I've confirmed the ability to use NNTPS with this particular server by using Outlook Express, which is compatible with NNTPS. Version: 4.20; I used the Windows binary. Running XP. Config: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [nntps] accept = 192.168.1.101:119 connect = secure.news.easynews.com:563 Log: 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG5[6640:6644]: stunnel 4.20 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG5[6640:6644]: Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG5[6640:5936]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG7[6640:5936]: FD 196 in non-blocking mode 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG7[6640:5936]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2007.12.28 22:24:46 LOG7[6640:5936]: nntps bound to 192.168.1.101:119

Hello all I use stunnel on a server with a stunnel.pem file generated with openSSL,( this file is not certified with verisign or others...) Each time i launch outlook express on a client a have a warning saying that the server is using a certificate who can't be verified.... I have to close this warning and after all is ok... Question Is it possible to skip this warning? perhaps with a public key approuved in outlook express??? thanks for help --------------------------------- Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail !

1 tunnel client to few different servers
by Shalvi Ziv 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

All, As my PROXY server gets requests from end-users to be proxied to several different content providers (SMS servers), I was wondering how can encrypt the traffic between the PROXY to the SMS using stunnel, but still handle the differentiation to the various content providers. Meaning, my PROXY listens on port 9090 for all incoming SMS requests and each request should be addressed to different SMS server (i.e. different content provider) based on the number the message was sent to. See following example: Client = yes [SMPP] accept = 9090 (should always be this port) connect = <SMS IP>:442 Now, how can I do it with stunnel configuration (having the <SMS IP> flexibly assigned according to other parameters in the packet)? Thanks! zivs

I have a small web application running as a regular (non root) user on my port 6666. I would like to make it accessible through SSL on port 7777. In order to test it I used (as the same non root user) the following command: stunnel -D 7 -p mypemfile.pem -d 7777 -r localhost:6666 but it does not work. When I check with "ps aux | fgrep stunnel", no such program is running. However if I run it as root, it does work. I did not find in the documentation any restriction with this regard. Since my final application will run on a machine to whose root I do not have access, I would like to find a way to solve this problem. Any hint will be appreciated. -- tsf ----------------------------------------- My system data are: (1) Linux/Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic, (2) Output of "/usr/bin/stunnel4 -version": stunnel 4.20 on i486-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /var/run/stunnel4.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none (3) Output due to '-D 7' option: 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /home/tomasz/.rnd 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /home/tomasz/.rnd 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: PRNG seeded successfully 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Certificate: jai_ssl.pem 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Certificate loaded 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Key file: jai_ssl.pem 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: Private key loaded 2007.12.20 10:00:45 LOG7[14820:3082589872]: SSL context initialized for service stunnel3 (4)"/usr/bin/stunnel" is a Perl script whose comments say " ... wrapper to use stunnel 3.x syntax in stunnel >=4.05 ..."; it is version 2.00 (2005.04.2).

Stunnel never really connects
by Pat Riehecky 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

I am trying to send email over stunnel from a client that doesn't support encryption to a server that does. The local socket opens just fine, but it never really seems to connect to the remote server. A tcpdump shows only three packets exchanged between the two systems (Syn, Syn/Ack, Ack). The behavior is the same regardless of which tls enabled port I point stunnel at. I am able to connect to these ports via telnet and send email so I know the connection can be negotiated. I am using the 4.21 build for windows (XP SP2) found on the main webpage. Help! --- stunnel.conf --- ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Workaround for Eudora bug ; my email client isn't eudora, but given how ; it doesn't support standards like encrypted ; transport..... options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 ; Use it for client mode client = yes [smtp] accept = 127.0.0.1:25 connect = mailserver.mydomain.tld:587 ;connect = mailserver.mydomain.tld:465 ;connect = mailserver.mydomain.tld:25 protocol = smtp

'PIN' engine control command
by Ludolf Holzheid 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Dear list, I'm trying to use stunnel on Windows with an USB token (`CryptoMate' from ACS). However, I can't manage to make stunnel ask for the token PIN: o Loading the private key works if I specify the PIN in the configuration file (`engineCtrl = PIN:...'). o If there is no `PIN' engine control option in the configuration file, loading the private key fails. The log message are: error stack: 26096080 : error:26096080:engine routines:ENGINE_load_private_key:failed loading private key error stack: 800050A0 : error:800050A0:Vendor defined:PKCS11_login:PIN incorrect Do I have to add a special engine control option to the configuration file in order to get asked for the PIN or is it intended to `just work'?

newbie config not running
by fuzzy_4711 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hello list. I am new to stunnel and do have some problems to get it running. The server is a WinXPSP2 behind a router. The router has port forwarding enabled for port 9999 to the stunnel server (4.21). On the same box a vnc server is running on port 5900 which I like to tunnel. Firewall is opened. The netstat -a -n shows the server listening on the desired port (9999). My server config looks like that: cert = stunnel.pem ;key = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Workaround for Eudora bug ;options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Authentication stuff ;verify = 2 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath ;CApath = certs ; It's often easier to use CAfile ;CAfile = certs.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath ;CRLpath = crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile ;CRLfile = crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting ;debug = 7 ;output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode ;client = yes [pop3s] accept = 995 connect = 110 [imaps] accept = 993 connect = 143 [ssmtp] accept = 465 connect = 25 [VNC Server] accept = 9999 connect = 5900 The client side is a linux box with config setting: client = yes [VNC Server] accept = 5900 connect = 9999 I turned on debugging and stunnel.log seems to be okay - no error messages. But I am not able to get an connection. What am I doing wrong? Stefan

Hello stunnel'ers, First of all - im a newbie into openssl and stunnel. Im trying to stunnel between my own java socket server and client.

HTTPS hardcoded redirects
by Ezio Ostorero 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

All, I have a problem similar to the one described in http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2006-October/001324.html i.e. I ***wish*** to use the recording functionalities of JMeter while accessing an apache-SSL-secured Tomcat web server. JMeter does not allow recording on SSL so I have to ... un-cipher my HTTPS sessions, stunnel looks like the right choice. Being an stunnel newbie, I started here: http://www.stunnel.org/examples/https_client.html , this HOWTO looks quite close to my configuration. We have a plain-vanilla tomcat server behind an apache/SSL, and I want to access this web application from an HTTP-only browser. So, I configure stunnel as a "client", I run it on my PC, with the following configuration: [psuedo-https] accept = 8080 connect = <server>:443 TIMEOUTclose = 0 I read it as follows: stunnel talk cleartext HTTP on the local 8080 port and forwards in crypted HTTPS on the <server> port 443 I set the URL in my browser to http://localhost:8080/oi/ and this happens: 1) Ethereal sez that my PC and <server> start an SSLv3 conversation, good, we're on track 2) I have an HTTP analyzer plugged in my browser that shows me the content of the first GET that is a redirect to an SSO server (on the same <server>:443 port) for user authentication https://<server>/ssoserver/login?service=...... 3) My browser then issue a GET to https://<server>/ssoserver/login?service=...... and is GAME OVER, my beloved stunnel is cleanly bypassed by the hardcoded https://<server>/ string Any suggestion? Is it a dead end? Any dirty trick I could play with? Such as running multiple stunnel instances, setting <server> = localhost in my hosts file etc.?

Problem compiling win32 stunnel.exe v 4.21
by Hidden 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

Okay, so I'm trying to build stunnel.exe (ver 4.21) under Debian Linux 2.6.22.1 as a prelude to applying some patches and I'm getting stuck. I've followed the instructions in the makefile – Install mingw32; compile and install openssl; unpack and make stunnel.exe. mingw makes a bunch of object files for a while, but then at the link stage it bombs with i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lzdll make was when trying to execute the command: i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -s -o stunnel.exe file.obj client.obj log.obj options.obj protocol.obj network.obj resolver.obj ssl.obj ctx.obj verify.obj sthreads.obj stunnel.obj gui.obj resources.obj -L/usr/src/openssl-0.9.8g -lzdll -leay32 -lssl32 -lws2_32 -lgdi32 -mwindows eay32 is nowhere to be found either. It and ssl32 are clearly related to openssl, but I can't see any suitable files in either the openssl build directory (/usr/src/openssl-0.9.8g as advertised). zdll could be something to do with zlib (which I have, ver 1.2.3) and eay32 and ssl32 are obviously related to openssl, but the only libraries under openssl are libssl.a and libcrypto.a (although optimistically trying to bolt in libssl in place of ssl32 doesn't work). ws2_32 and gdi32 are windows sockets and GDI, for what it's worth. I can't find the required libs on the internet anywhere, and maybe it's all down to me being a novice with mingw. I do notice the tantalizingly named files zlib1.dll, libeay32.dll, and libssl32.dll in the precompiled Windows binary distribution of stunnel, but surely I can't use them in any way? I'd love some help from anyone who knows this system better! Thanks, Tony

SSL session caching with multiple clients through stunnel to an https server
by Paul McGarry 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi there, I have an application where apache/php processes make SOAP requests over https to a single remote server (which is IIS I think). I am trying to cut down the time each request takes. In it's current configuration I think some time will be wasted as the php client and IIS server handshake to set up a new SSL connection for each request, thereby adding (at least) twice the network latency between the two servers to each request. (As far as I can tell there is no way to make php SOAP use some kind of persistant connection or SSL cache when talking to the server) I am wondering if I pushed the soap requests as http through stunnel whether stunnel would be more efficient with SSL connections or whether it will just create a new tunnel with a new ssl session for each request it receives? Does anyone have any advice? Paul

Ok Guys, I hate to be a nuisance. But I encountered an error coming out o the Stunnel configuration in LINUX. First what does it mean when Stunnel is in INETD mode? Does this imply certain configuration restrictions and why? Thanks, Paul Harmon

Help using Stunnel-4.XX
by Harmon, Paul 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi Folks, Well I know a little more now than before. The version of Stunnel I'm using is Stunnel 4.05 running under Fedora 7.0. I am trying to setup a test scenario at the moment where I am running a stream socket between a client and a server, both mine since this is a test scenario. I need thisese programs to connect over a secure socket and the exchange of data is a custom application. I've read through Barry O'donovan's article and that seems to give me the information on how to configure and use Stunnel on the server side. It is not clear to me yet, what I need to do to the client side. Is there anyone out there who has done this type of thing and could give me some help? Thanks in advance, Paul Harmon

zlib compression not working
by webmaster＠escoltesiguies.cat 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

I have configured both windows client and linux server (samba) with zlib compression: compression = zlib But I have transferred a txt file of 100Mb in 40 minutes and the same file compressed with gzip (22Mb) in 14 minutes. So I thing compression is not working. Client log tells: Compression enabled using zlib method and server log: Compression enabled using zlib method How can I verify comression is working? maybe compression is working but it is poor?

Re: [stunnel-users] More questions on RDP and port forwarding
by richard.woodman＠cox.net 28 Nov '07

Carter, Thanks. With the exception of the client's loopback address in the hosts file, I have a very similar configuration. I have created an inbound rule (Custom service with an inbound rule declaration but no outbound rule) that looks just like my inbound RDP rules - I even reviewed the configuration file and the stunnel rule had the same commands as the RDP rule. However, RDP works through the firewall but stunnel does not. My Windows firewall has an exception for stunnel with a scope of "Internet" and the stunnel server works from within the corporate network. Meaning, I think, that the Windows firewall is not denying the connection (at least from within the same subnet). I am not a Windows AD guy, but is there a way to prevent network connections without using the Windows firewall? I mean, can a GPO be created that prevents connections from IP addresses not on the same subnet but that does not use the OS's firewall? If so, this could be the issue because from what I can see, neither the Watchguard nor the Windows firewalls are blocking the connection; yet I still cannot connect. Richard Carter Browne wrote: I use stunnel to protect RDP for a couple of sites using a mix of Watchguard Edge and V series firewalls. For computer ABC that I want to connect to, I create an entry in the hosts file: 127.0.0.n ABCs (where n is greater than 1) On the client side I have an entry: [ABC-RDP] accept = ADCs:12345 connect = ABC:54321 client = yes On the server sid I have an entry: [RDP-IN] accept = 54321 connect = 3389 client = no Port 54321 is enabled in both the Watchguard and the Windows firewalls. Using the 127.n.n.n ports are not processed by the firewalls. You can use 127.0.0.1 for everything, but I needed to connect to more that one host and wanted a standard setup. I have had a number of users confused by this setup whereby the program references a local port to connect to a remote computer. For stunnel, it is the connect string that determines the destination, so any local port works fine for the accept string. Carter

Re: [stunnel-users] More questions on RDP and port forwarding
by richard.woodman＠cox.net 26 Nov '07

OK, I took my configs, my certs, etc. and put them on two boxes in the lab - then I ensured I could use stunnel to connect using VNC. I then put a NAT box (Linksys BEFSR81) between the two and configured the Linksys to provide port forwarding. I then reconnected and everything worked first time. Therefore, I can only assume that either port-forwarding is misconfigured on my Watchguard SOHO 6tc -or- that the Windows firewall is causing problems (neither lab box has a firewall running). I'll keep you posted on what I find. Thanks. Richard My original post: I did read through the archives but I cannot determine how to get Stunnel working through the firewall. Here is what I wish to do: 1. Tunnel Windows Remote Desktop through stunnel. 2. I wish to connect from home to work; I have access to the firewall at work. Here's what I've done: 1. Installed stunnel on Windows XP at home and at work. I have self-signed certificates and am using verify = 3 (on both computers). Cacert.pem has the CA cert, the work cert, and the home cert in a single file. The server-cert.pem has the work computer's key and cert while the client-1-cert.pem (home computer) has it's own key and cert. 2. Stunnel at home has client = yes, stunnel at work has this commented out. Stunnel at work will become a "server" where multiple clients connect via stunnel and that single computer makes multiple RDP connections. Client (home) computer has [rdp1] accept = 4391 connect = <work outside interface IP>:44391 Server (work) computer has [rdp2] accept = 44391 connect = <work computer name>:3392 If I try this at work from within the corporate network (change the client connect string to the stunnel server's IP or hostname), then everything works fine. However, once I try from outside the work network, nothing works. Firewall is a Watchguard SOHO 6tc and I have a inbound rule permitting 44391 and directing it to X.X.X.52 (the stunnel server). I also have other rules allowing RDP (on port 3392 for instance) directly to the computer I wish to control and those rules work. Essentially, RDP directly through the firewall works but stunnel through the firewall does not. I assume there is no traffic destined for .52 on 44391 because the log file on the server (with debug = 7) only shows the startup sequence and port binding (netstat -a shows I am listening on 44391). I also tried this at home on my Juniper 5XT and was unsuccessful. Please help. Richard

Craig, Thanks. Are you advising that I put "client = yes" in the service declaration rather than the main configuration? I already have "client = yes" on the client side (in the main configuration) and that line commented out of the server's configuration (I assume the default is client = no). When I review the log on the client computer, I can see where it times out waiting on a response from the work firewall's outside IP address. I do not see any connection attempts on the server side and both stunnel instances (client and server) have debug = 7 and logging to stunnel.log.

More questions on RDP and port forwarding
by Richard Woodman 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

I did read through the archives but I cannot determine how to get Stunnel working through the firewall. Here is what I wish to do: 1. Tunnel Windows Remote Desktop through stunnel. 2. I wish to connect from home to work; I have access to the firewall at work. Here's what I've done: 1. Installed stunnel on Windows XP at home and at work. I have self-signed certificates and am using verify = 3 (on both computers). Cacert.pem has the CA cert, the work cert, and the home cert in a single file. The server-cert.pem has the work computer's key and cert while the client-1-cert.pem (home computer) has it's own key and cert. 2. Stunnel at home has client = yes, stunnel at work has this commented out. Stunnel at work will become a "server" where multiple clients connect via stunnel and that single computer makes multiple RDP connections. Client (home) computer has [rdp1] accept = 4391 connect = <work outside interface IP>:44391 Server (work) computer has [rdp2] accept = 44391 connect = <work computer name>:3392 If I try this at work from within the corporate network (change the client connect string to the stunnel server's IP or hostname), then everything works fine. However, once I try from outside the work network, nothing works. Firewall is a Watchguard SOHO 6tc and I have a inbound rule permitting 44391 and directing it to X.X.X.52 (the stunnel server).

I'm very much a newbie to stunnel
by Harmon, Paul 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi Guys, I'm very new to Stunnel. In fact I have no experience with it what so ever. My situation is this: I have server program and a client at the moment which know nothing about SSL. Yet the powers that be insist that my two machines, if they must use sockets, do so using SSL. After reading through the distribution, I found this very interesting program called Stunnel which sounds like it might solve my problem quite well. From what I've read so far, I gather this program can be used as an SSL wrapper for my server and my client. Would some kind soul please help me with the configuration process (the configuration file) so that my client and server can be safe and secure? My server uses a port which I have chosen (really quite arbitrarily). Basically I need the server to listen on that port and wait for incoming data which it will processs and in most cases not even reply. With normal sockets this is a no-brainer since Steven's book outlines it very well. If I understand the documentation I've read so far, Stunnel adds the encryption layer on top of that which I need. So how do I configure and invokestunnel in this environment? Sorry for stupid questions at the moment I just lack examples like this and confidence in using the program. Thanks, Paul

Certificate management
by Koenraad Lelong 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi, Since a few months I'm playing with stunnel. Last month I installed a stunnel at a customer. This week he reported he could not connect any more. After testing here I discovered the CA cert had expired. I made this myself and I didn't see that it's only valid for one month. I made new certificates making sure they are valid for longer than one month, so this is solved for now. My question : are there good documents about management of certificates ? I'm specially interested in renewing the certificates. Regards, Koenraad Lelong.

some newbie questions

Let me first explain what I want to do in order to see if stunnel is what I need: I have some laptops around the world and I want to let them login in my intranet. The login is versus a Samba server. So more or less the connection would be: Laptop (running winXP) --- router --- internet --- router --- linux ssh server(port 22 open) --- linux samba server Could stunnel help me achivieng this? any hint of how? I have read the documentation, but I am a little lost. thanks -- <http://www.escoltesiguies.cat>*Lluís Forns - Tècnic Informàtic * *Servei d'Informàtica* *Minyons Escoltes i Guies de Catalunya (MEG)* *Telèfon:* 93 590 27 00 *Fax:* 93 590 04 92 *www.escoltesiguies.cat* No m'imprimeixis si no és necessari.

Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel and Outlook Web Access Problems

I see that you have client = yes in the config file. When client = yes is set outside the service block, it becomes a global setting that tells all the services that it should tunnel that they are clients and not servers. If you specify the client = yes within a service eg. [pop3s] client = yes accept = 995 connect = 110 then stunnel knows that the specified service alone is a client. What I recommend is that you disable the client = yes in the global area and change you config file to something like this: I have removed the comments to shorten the config for explanation: socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 CRLpath = crls CRLfile = certnew.pem debug = 7 output = stunnel.log ;client = yes [https] accept = 443 connect = 192.168.0.5:443 TIMEOUTclose = 0 Try using this as your config and see if it works or not.

Dan _____ From: Craig Sent: Mon 19/11/2007 1:34 AM To: stunnel-users(a)mirt.net Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel and Outlook Web Access Problems OWA rewrites the URL when you log in and I have found that it causes problems when doing that with a Stunnel connection. What I think might be happening is that your initial connection says http://server.tld/ then when you log in OWA rewrites the URL to https://server.tld/ What I think is happening is that your stunnel is listening on port 80 and when you log in, OWA changes the listening port in the browser to port 443. Try running the listening server (stunnel server) to listen on port 443 instead of port 80 and see if that fixes the problem.

I set stunnel to listen on port 80 (localhost) and then connect to myserverip on port 443. I get the login screen but can go no further after I Enter my credentials and Click OK. Checking the stunnel log screen it shows that a connect has been made? I don't understand why It won't connect any further?? OWA is on Exchange Server 2003 and I am using Windows XP SP2.
