If Stunnel is not listening for clients, it does not try to connect to the server. If it does not try to connect to the server, it does not know if the server is listening.

Local socket keeps listening
by Jorge Redondo Flames 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Hey there, thanks for being there. I have a Client/Server services originally communicating over TCP. The client periodically monitors the socket connection by reading from the socket and, in the case the connection has been lost, the client retries the connection a given amount of times, after which it realizes that the server is definitely down. Now I have implemented secure communication using Stunnel and everything works fine except for the fact that, whenever the server process crashes (which is eventually expected), the client is no longer able to successfully monitor the connection as expected since, no matter what happens to the server process, the local Stunnel daemon keeps listening on its local socket. So, when the client retries connection, it successfully connects to the local socket. Although it soon receives connection reset, this successful connection attempt happening even when the server process is actually down completely breaks the client logic. I could change this logic but I really would like to avoid that path. So here is my question: Is there a way to configure Stunnel to *close* the local socket (not listening anymore) whenever the peer process (i.e. the server) has closed its socket? Thank you very much in advance.

Vulnerabilities cve-2021-3449 and cve-2021-3450
by erik.soudant＠pinkroccade.nl 31 Mar '21

Hi, Is there any chance that there will be a new stunnel version (windows) using openssl 1.1.1 k in order to be protected from at least vulnarability cve-2021-3449. And if so when can that be expected? Issue 3450 only concerns1.1.1 H-J so that is not a risk at this moment because the most recent Stunnel version is compiled against 1.1.1c.

SSL_get_peer_tmp_key fail
by stunnel＠paapnet.nl 28 Mar '21

Hai, I just tried compiling stunnel 5.58 but it bails out: CC stunnel-client.o client.c: In function 'print_tmp_key': client.c:670:10: warning: implicit declaration of function 'SSL_get_peer_tmp_key'; did you mean 'SSL_get_server_tmp_key'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] if (!SSL_get_peer_tmp_key(s, &key)) { ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SSL_get_server_tmp_key CCLD stunnel stunnel-client.o: In function `print_tmp_key': /try/stunnel-5.58/src/client.c:670: undefined reference to `SSL_get_peer_tmp_key' Running Ubuntu Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS gcc version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018 Version 5.49 compiles ok no issues there Am I missing something here ? Changing it into 'SSL_get_server_tmp_key works' or remming it out probably causes issues... bt it compiles well. Would be great if someone can point me in the right direction. Cheers...

when reload configure，there is a err (win32)
by koalabearguo＠gmail.com 23 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 hope this can be fixed,thanks.

Hello, I've been trying to compile latest version of stunnel for wce (WM6) and just cannot get it to work. I have 0 programming experience and have been trying to follow old guides. I was hoping if someone can compile or already has compiled a newer stunnel version for WCE (WM6) other than 5.02. Thanks

FIXED cross-compile stunnel lastest version with tls 1.3 suppport base on uclibc
by 583301743＠qq.com 22 Mar '21

Thank you for repy I have fix it using --with-threads=fork like CC=arm-linux-gcc CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector" ./configure --prefix=/mnt/dists/stunnel --with-ssl=/mnt/dists/openssl-v1.1.1j --host=arm-linux --disable-fips --with-random=/dev/urandom --with-threads=fork --disable-libwrap --disable-systemd --disable-ipv6 (you maybe delete stack-protector in configure for cannot find libssp error) and commit #include <ctype.h> in common.c for fix __ctype_b_loc can't resolve symbol and delete all realize code int pty_allocate(int *ptyfd, int *ttyfd, char *namebuf) in pty.c for fix symbol 'openpty': can't resolve symbol like this int pty_allocate(int *ptyfd, int *ttyfd, char *namebuf) { return -1; } and compile openssl with no-threads options CC=arm-linux-gcc ./Configure --prefix=/mnt/dists/openssl-v1.1.1j linux-armv4 no-threads enable-tls1_3 no-asm no-async now running successfully EchoLife_WAP /tmp # ./stunnel -help Initializing inetd mode configuration stunnel 5.58 on arm-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.1.1j 16 Feb 2021 Threading:FORK Sockets:POLL,IPv4 TLS:ENGINE,OCSP,PSK,SNI cross-compile stunnel latest version with tls1.3 support is so diffcult. It spend my 2 days to fix problem. I do not why no any guide for cross compile for armv7 not andriod I use cross compile tools-chain is here https://toolchains.bootlin.com/downloads/releases/toolchains/armv5-eabi/tar…
