Stunnel Installation.
by nathan.king＠unpredictableporridge.co.uk 12 Mar '23

Hello, New stunnel user here - or trying to ne! I manage a streaming service using both SHOUT and Icecast servers, on a Widows 10 platform. Have been hit by the update to the G/Chrome browser, and while the Website is secure, the streams are not. There is limited support for S.S.L. for Icecast, but none for SHOUTcast. Was recommended to use S.S.L., but apparently the OpenSSL library isn't downloaded for Widows, only Linux, so have tried using Debian 11, which have installed within VirtualBox. However, have had no luck making the connection. Happened to read in another tutorial that if stunnel isn't installed on the same Computer, as the Playout system and encoder - use B.U.T.T., and Sound Empire Caster - one has to have stunnel installed on both Computers? Is the above true? EIther way,, would appreciate some advice on how to resolve this issue, and am new to stunnel, and only a basic knowledge of Debian. Thanks for your help with this issue. Cheers.

stunnel as server dont connect to endpoint
by mahdi.section8＠gmail.com 05 Mar '23

hello everyone i have a setup of openvpn + stunnel stunnel(client) in a server stunnel(server) + openvpn in another server both were working fine until i moved the second server to another one i moved all openvpn and stunnel files to new one but even though its same stunnel it dont work properly i even compiled latest 5.69 version thinking it was a bug this is my stunnel config: setuid = root setgid = root [openvpn] cert=/etc/stunnel/cert.pem key=/etc/stunnel/key.pem accept = 0.0.0.0:1381 connect = 127.0.0.1:1194 its so simple yet idk whats the problem, cause in the logs i only see from stunnel that a connection from ip x accepted but nothing else saying that it connected to 127.0.0.1:1194 its just accepting connections and nothing more like it forgot there is a connect option there. but i confirm openvpn is correct as i tested with netcat and openvpn showed up in logs saying there is a connection but somehow stunnel dont connect to 127.0.0.1:1194 its crazy that either i forgot something or misconfig of stunnel cause its so simple and its not working

Just a quick question around this and are there any documentation/guides that could be useful?

Stunnel Configuration issues

I'm trying to create a FIX application that interfaces with ICE using Stunnel to provide encryption. I'm encountering a handshake failure trying to interface with the FIX application.

No peer temporary key received

Hi folks, is there any chance to grasp why such a line - "No peer temporary key received" - is logged immediately after successful negotiation?

blat, stunnel, and gmail with an app password
by blat_stunnel2023＠protonmail.com 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

I was using a Windows command line blat.exe mailer with stunnel along with a gmail account to send emails from a Windows command line batch file. Gmail started requiring I se the gmail account to allow "less secure" sign in options. That worked for a while, but in May 2022, gmail discontinued that option. It sounds like you can set two factor on the gmail account and then generate an app password for the gmail account. So I did that. I'm stumped on how to get either blat or stunnel to use that gmail app password though. Any ideas? Blat is looking super old though. I see when I set up this computer to with blat-stunnel-gmail, that I ran a line with blat.exe to store the gmail password. I don't see a way to store an app password, but blat is old. This is blat. http://www.blat.net./ Looks like the last update was in 2012, so app passwords may not have even existed then. Is there any way to stunnel to store a gmail app password? My goal is just to send an email from a Windows machine with either a Windows batch file or PowerShell script. It's not mission critical. It's for home use. I just like to get email alerts when my home machines complete some task. If something else works, I'm interested. It needs to work in a batch file though, or at least powershell if a batch file can't work. For my previous set up, I just kept stunnel updated, initially set up blat with the email information, and used only a batch file with blat to send emails from a gmail account. And then it was making sure less secure apps was an option on the gmail account. Now it's been broken for almost a year.
