when reload configure，there is a err (win32)
by koalabearguo＠gmail.com 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

hi,I am using the latest version(stunnel5.58) on windows10; compiled openssl 1.1.1j with option zlib enabled; the stunnel.conf file: add option "securityLevel = 0" to enable compression add option "compression = zlib" to enable compression when stunnel start,it work well.but when i reload configuration in the menu configuration，it give me this: SSL_COMP_add_compression_method: ssl\ssl_ciph.c:1997: error:140A5135:SSL routines:SSL_COMP_add_compression_method:duplicate compression id Global options: Failed to initialize TLS Then i search the source code,i found when reload config,the SSL_COMP_add_compression_method(0xe0,mesh) function will add compression id again(duplicate) i think this can be fixed,thanks.

TLS alert (read): warning: close notify

Hi folks, Receiving the message "TLS alert (read): warning: close notify" when initiating connection to another site. I checked logs and we do not get this on any other site we use stunnel to connect to. Is this a message an acknowledgement that stunnel received a close notify message from the external site? 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG6[106453]: TLS connected: new session negotiated 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: Deallocating application specific data for session connect address 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG6[106453]: Negotiated TLSv1.2 ciphersuite ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256-bit encryption) 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: Compression: null, expansion: null 021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: TLS alert (read): warning: close notify 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG6[106453]: TLS closed (SSL_read) 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: Sent socket write shutdown 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG6[106453]: Read socket closed (readsocket) 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: Sending close_notify alert 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: TLS alert (write): warning: close notify 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG6[106453]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify alert 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG5[106453]: Connection closed: 9951 byte(s) sent to TLS, 419 byte(s) sent to socket 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: Remote descriptor (FD=16) closed 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: Local descriptor (FD=15) closed 2021.02.25 11:11:17 LOG7[106453]: Service [xxxx-https] finished (0 left) Best regards, Dan This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Error Stunnel TLS alert (write): fatal: bad record mac
by Alexandre Afonso Vaz 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hello everyone I apologize in advance because my English is not the best I'm experiencing a problem with stunnel: On the server I'm running a current version [.] stunnel 5.56 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform Compiled / running with OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019 And on the client an old version [.] stunnel 5.39 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu platform Compiled with OpenSSL 1.1.0c 10 Nov 2016 The case is that I am having an error in the server log as shown below: SSL_accept: ../ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:677: error: 1408F119: SSL routines: ssl3_get_record: decryption failed or bad record mac I did the test by updating the client to the same version and everything works, the question I have is whether there is really an incompatibility between the versions (be it the stunnel or the openssl). Does anyone know how to confirm me if this is real? Thanks Vaz

Hi I have a Windows app that sends email via SMTP without any authentication (port can be set). I want to use it with Office365 SMTP service which requires TLS. Will stunnel allow me to do this without affecting any other application sending email ? If it does, what terms should I be looking for in the help info ? Many thanks Regards David --

Windows Server 2012 R2 - localhost:25 stops listening
by Frank Warnke 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Hi, I have noticed that when I install stunnel (stunnel-5.57-win64-installer.exe or today stunnel-5.58-win64-installer.exe) that running "netstat -ano" comes back with; TCP 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2700 and the application we are using can send email via Gmail SMTP using the default stunnel.config. When I log out the user and go back in, the application can no longer send email via Gmail SMTP and "netstat -ano" no longer sees anything listening on port 25. I have verified that the stunnel service is running and have even stopped and started the stunnel service, but I am not able to get port 25 to be listened to unless I uninstall and install stunnel over again. It seems like something is setup or started during the stunnel install process that stops or gets killed after a user log outs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Frank

We failed to using stunnel to connect to remote server which only accept TLS1.2. So we configured the stunnel on our side with below stunnel.conf. We have another program listening to localhost:3500 and process the response from server. I would appreciate any suggestion. 1.

Seeing Message in Plain Text in Wireshark
by David Brower 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

First time user of Stunnel and I just wanted to check what I'm doing wrong. I have two processes running: a TCP Listener that listens on port 13000 and a TCP client that sends it a message. I'm running Stunnel on Windows 10 with the following config: [myapp] client = yes accept = 13001 connect = 13000 cert = stunnel.pem TIMEOUTclose=0 I updated the TCP client to send the message to port 13001 but when I check Wireshark I can still see the contents of the message in plaintext. Shouldn't I no longer be able to see the unencrypted contents of this message? Here are the relevant logs: 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[main]: Found 1 ready file descriptor(s) 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[main]: FD=588 ifds=r-x ofds=r-- 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[main]: FD=596 ifds=r-x ofds=--- 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[main]: Service [myapp] accepted (FD=924) from 127.0.0.1:9322 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[main]: Creating a new thread 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[main]: New thread created 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: Service [myapp] started 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: Setting local socket options (FD=924) 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG5[2]: Service [myapp] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:9322 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG6[2]: s_connect: connecting 127.0.0.1:13000 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 127.0.0.1:13000: waiting 10 seconds 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: FD=940 ifds=rwx ofds=--- 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG5[2]: s_connect: connected 127.0.0.1:13000 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG5[2]: Service [myapp] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:9323 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: Setting remote socket options (FD=940) 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on remote socket 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: Remote descriptor (FD=940) initialized 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG6[2]: SNI: sending servername: localhost 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG6[2]: Peer certificate not required 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: TLS state (connect): before SSL initialization 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: Initializing application specific data for session authenticated 2021.01.27 20:57:26 LOG7[2]: TLS state (connect): SSLv3/TLS write client hello
