32-bit windows download
by Ágnes Kakasi 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

Hi, I'm looking for help to download and install Stunnel on a laptop with 32-bit Windows 7. I have downloaded the available download file from the website (stunnel-5.66-win64-installer.exe) but the computer indicates it cannot open the file. I tried to find info on this and in the platform sections I found Stunnel can run on 32-bit, as well, but I don't know how to make it work. Can you please advise me on what the correct download file is and how to install it so that it works on this computer? Thank you in advance. Agnes

v5.66: failing test 081
by Andreas Vetter 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Hi, in open build system I get the following failing test, when building and testing stunnel 5.66: [ 45s] 081. Test IPv6 support [ 45s] [client] Read '2022.09.15 21:17:15 LOG6[0]: TLS fd: Connection reset by peer (104)' [ 45s] ...................................................................... failed Is this a stunnel problem or a problem with logging inside the build system? What can I do to get more verbose information during build? The test is working for a similar target OS (openSUSE_Tumbleweed) and not for this one (openSUSE:Factory). The difference is small, but sometimes not neglectible: openSUSE:Factory is the to be tested submissions, always in the flow. openSUSE_Tumbleweed is a tested working snapshot of Factory. Best regards, Andreas

TLS 1.2 traffic on STunnel
by Gary Jackson 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

Good afternoon, I am trying to use Stunnel to accept traffic from a custom application using TLS 1.2 and a self signed cert and then send it to a back end application unencrypted. I want the configuration to only affect one listener on Stunnel and not all incoming ports. I am using Stunnel v.5.6 I am confused with all the documentation and what needs to be set in the config file for this use case. The config file currently has connections where it accepts traffic on one port and then directs it to another port internally but not with TLS 1.2. Thank you for all your knowledge and insight! _________________________________ Gary Jackson | Senior Systems Engineer

Certificate Request's "Distinguished Names" list is empty when using CAPath (but not when using CAFile)
by david.rundqvist＠gmail.com 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

Hi, If I hash the client certificates and put them in a folder (with file names <hash>.0), and use the CAPath parameter on the server, together with verify=3, the server's Certificate Request message contains an empty list of "Distinguished Names". However, if I put the client certificates concatenated in a .pem file, and use the CAFile parameter on the server, the Certificate Request message does contain the Distinguished Names. Is this the correct behavior? I thought CAFile and CAPath worked more or less in the same way, but perhaps the Certificate Request message is implemented differently, depending on if you use CAFile or CAPath? My preferred way is to use CAPath: Is there some way I can get the Distinguished Names not to be empty, when using CAPath? I'm on Windows, using stunnel version 5.49, currently. Thanks in advance! Kind regards, /David

looking to pay for stunnel support

I have an issue with a program that is 9 years old that uses old stunnel for email forwarding of automated alerts. I would gladly pay for support for assistance configuring the newest version of stunnel. My issue is that present configuration is sending smtp at tls 1.0 which is getting rejected. Please send me your info via email and I will promptly respond Joe Korman

Stunnel is throwing Timeout connect and Timeout closed error
by Ferdous K 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

Hello, I have been using Stunnel 3.5.44 (latest for Ubuntu 18) to connect to my remote load balancer which serves traffic to several backend nodes. After recent O/S update, I have noticed one weird issue. I am seeing frequent TIMEOUTconnect and TIMEOUTclosed exceeded errors when stunnel service tries to connect to backend nodes via load balancer in round robin mode. If I replace load balancer or multiple backends (to rule out DNS issue) entries: connect = remote-load-balancer:8080 Or connect = remote-backend-node1:8080 connect = remote-backend-node2:8080 With single backend entry like this: connect = remote-backend-node1:8080 Or, connect = remote-backend-node2:8080 Then those errors go away. I have tested on multiple servers with different backends and timeout configuration and all are showing same issues so the problem seems like not related to specific server of backend. Any idea what could cause this issue? Thanks in advance, Ferdous Reference: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+package/stunnel4 Stunnel sample config: pid = /var/run/stunnel4/stunnel.pid output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log socket = l:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 socket = r:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 socket = r:TCP_KEEPIDLE=120 socket = r:TCP_KEEPINTVL=30 socket = r:TCP_KEEPCNT=6 socket = l:TCP_KEEPIDLE=120 socket = l:TCP_KEEPINTVL=30 socket = l:TCP_KEEPCNT=6 [remote] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:6500 connect = remote-load-balancer:8080 cert = /opt/service/etc/cert.d/remote.crt key = /opt/service/etc/key.d/remote.key sslVersion = TLSv1.2 debug = info verifyChain = no verifyPeer = no
