This is because STARTTLS is not a separate protocol, but rather an option (usually an extension) of various protocols that can negotiate SSL/TLS encryption. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STARTTLS Mike

Disable support for insecure SSLv2 protocol but allow for ONE service
by Ben Stover 16 Oct '13

16 Oct '13

When I try to connect to one of my mailboxes I get a return: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket What does that mean? in stunnel.conf I set the global parameter: options = NO_SSLv2 This works in general. But for the mentioned email provider it could mean that he allows only SSLv2. Is this the reason? Where is described what is inscure at SSLv2? How can I allow for that particular email provider SSLv2 but disallow for all others? Ben

Writing "hello" to log window when entering a certain service section?
by Ben Stover 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Assume an (unknown) client on my computer connects through stunnel to a remote server. As soon as this local client connects local stunnel the stunnel should write a user specified string line to the log window (if possible in bold letters). Can I define this with a syntax similar to: [gmail-pop3] client = yes output = "hello outgoing alert gmail port 1109" accept = 127.0.0.1:1109 connect = pop.gmail.com:995 Thank you Peter

An issue with chroot, mail.pem and OmniOS/illumos (SunOS)
by Olaf Marzocchi 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Dear all, I have been trying to set up stunnel to encrypt a SMTP connection. The config of the encryption should be fine, I used it already on another OS, but I cannot get stunnel to start on my home server, based on OmniOS (kernel illumos), identified as "SunOS". This is my config: ---- chroot = /opt/omni/var/lib/stunnel/ ; Chroot jail can be escaped if setuid option is not used setuid = nobody setgid = nogroup ;pid = /opt/omni/var/lib/stunnel/stunnel.pid ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /opt/omni/etc/stunnel/mail.pem ;key = /opt/omni/etc/stunnel/mail.pem [smtp-tls-wrapper] accept = localhost:11125 client = yes connect = ssl0.ovh.net:465 ;delay = yes ---- and the directories mentioned have the following permissions: ---- OmniOS-Xeon:~ $ ls -al /opt/omni/etc/stunnel/ total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 root bin 5 Sep 24 23:26 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root bin 6 Sep 23 23:53 .. -rw------- 1 root bin 3050 Sep 24 23:25 mail.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 stunnel stunnel 3247 Oct 13 22:56 stunnel.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 2997 Sep 23 23:53 stunnel.conf-sample OmniOS-Xeon:~ $ ls -al /opt/omni/var/lib/ total 9 drwxr-xr-x 3 root bin 3 Sep 23 23:53 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root bin 4 Sep 23 23:53 .. drwx------ 2 stunnel stunnel 2 Sep 23 23:53 stunnel ---- The service is started from the SMF facility provided by Solaris/OmniOS/... that launches as root/root the following: /opt/omni/bin/stunnel /opt/omni/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf On execution I get the following error message: … Initializing service section [smtp-tls-wrapper] Certificate: /opt/omni/etc/stunnel/mail.pem Error reading certificate file: /opt/omni/etc/stunnel/mail.pem error queue: 140DC002: error:140DC002:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file:system lib error queue: 20074002: error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file: 200100D: error:0200100D:system library:fopen:Permission denied str_stats: 9 block(s), 1032 data byte(s), 522 control byte(s) … I must be overlooking something but I cannot see my mistake.

stunnel behind http proxy server, only working for port 443
by Heng Su 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

Hi All, I try to connect to my stunnel server, however, only port 443 is working. For other ports are not working. Does it mean my company's proxy server is blocking SSL communication on all ports except 443? ( I am a newbie, just assuming stunnel always working with SSL even for 80 port, if I am wrong please point me out, thank you) Is there any other way to bypass the proxy server without SSL communication? Or internal proxy server can always detect tunnel actions if there is non-SSL protocol ? below is my configuration file for client side. /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf ------------------START-------------------------- [https1] accept = 80 protocol = connect protocolAuthentication = basic protocolHost = myvpsserver-ip:80 protocolUsername = myname protocolPassword = p@ssw0rd connect = company-proxyserver:8080 [https2] accept = 443 protocol = connect protocolAuthentication = basic protocolHost = myvpsserver-ip:443 protocolUsername = myname protocolPassword = p@ssw0rd connect = company-proxyserver:8080 ----------------------------END--------------------------------------------- ---------------------------Tunnel PORT 80 ----------------------------- 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG5[10601:3078687600]: Negotiations for connect (client side) started 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> CONNECT my-remote-server-ip:80 HTTP/1.1 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> Host: my-remote-server-ip:80 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> Proxy-Authorization: basic c3VoZW5nOlBAc3N3MHJk 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG3[10601:3078687600]: CONNECT request rejected 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- Cache-Control: no-cache 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- Pragma: no-cache 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- Proxy-Connection: close 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- Connection: close 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- Content-Length: 725 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- 2013.10.08 14:18:43 LOG5[10601:3078687600]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket ---------------------------Tunnel PORT 443 ----------------------------- 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG5[10601:3078687600]: Negotiations for connect (client side) started 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> CONNECT my-remote-server-ip:443 HTTP/1.1 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> Host: my-remote-server-ip:443 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> Proxy-Authorization: basic c3VoZW5nOlBAc3N3MHJk 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: -> 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG6[10601:3078687600]: CONNECT request accepted 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG7[10601:3078687600]: <- 2013.10.08 14:42:00 LOG5[10601:3078687600]: Protocol negotiations succeeded -- Thanks & Best Regards, Su Heng

Stunnel North American FTP Down?
by Thomas Eifert 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

This evening, I'm unable to access the North American Stunnel FTP site. If I go in with Filezilla in passive mode, I can do a directory listing, but the directory is empty. If I use the browser by clicking on the FTP link on the stunnel web page, I get an error 550 Failed to change directory. I was able to access the European site, however. Enjoy the day. -- Attention: This message and all attachments are private and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.

IP Address on hte Destination
by Stewart Anderson 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi, When a source address connects to a remote destination, via stunnel, what IP address is visible to the destination as the source address? The address of the source or the host where stunnel is running? I see some settings for transparency but I just have a plain connect= for my services. My source and stunnel are on different servers.

Issue with TCPmon and Stunnel
by Odays 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hi all. I need to configure TCPMon+Stunnel to capture the request/response message in the communication with a web services using https. So I download stunnel-4.56-installer.exe and install it. In TCPMon I put that it listen in port 7777 and redirect to port 1234. In Stunnel I put this configuration: client=yes verify=0 [my-https] accept = 127.0.0.1:1234 connect = webservices_server:443 TIMEOUTclose = 0 When i run the scenario I see this log: 2013.09.30 16:12:57 LOG7[8612:6032]: Service [my-https] started 2013.09.30 16:12:57 LOG5[8612:6032]: Service [my-https] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:51759 2013.09.30 16:12:57 LOG7[8612:6032]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization *2013.09.30 16:12:57 LOG3[8612:6032]: SSL_accept: 1407609C: error:1407609C:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:http request* 2013.09.30 16:12:57 LOG5[8612:6032]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2013.09.30 16:12:57 LOG7[8612:6032]: Local socket (FD=448) closed 2013.09.30 16:12:57 LOG7[8612:6032]: Service [my-https] finished (0 left) Any idea about this error?

Generic/general mechanism to forward mail servername, login, port from client to stunnel
by Ben Stover 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Refering to my last posting I want to ask a related question: I read in the past somewhere that I can access stunnel from my local email client in more generic way: At first: stunnel always listens AUTOMATICALLY by default on port 127.0.0.1:9999 für incoming request and forwards the prepared/modified request to the outside world. The core parameter are NOT specified in the .conf file but by the User ID which is passed by the local client to local stunnel service. The syntax is as follows: userid=<servername>/<remotes-ssl-tls-port>/<loginname> Example: userid=pop.mail.yahoo.com/995/myname123 So as soon as stunnel receives at 127.0.0.1:9999 an incoming local connect he accepts the following userid string and tokenize it into the three parts. Given these three tokens stunnel is able to connect in the second step the remote mail server WITHOUT any further need of specification in the .conf file. Do I remember this correct? Is this mechanism described somewhere in detail? Thank you Ben
