sslv3 alert bad certificate
by marko 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hello all, I'm using xmas for something useful - i.e. to configure a new server. After an install of stunnel 5.50 and generating the .pem and .key files with: openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.pem -keyout /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.key -days 1825 using this settings in the stunnel.conf: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.pem key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/nw_stunnel.key options = -NO_SSLv3 sslVersion = all I got LOG5[0]: Service [imaps] accepted connection from 192.168.1.3:64233 Dec LOG3[0]: SSL_accept: 14094412: error:14094412:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket Just wondering: this is a self issued CA-Cert. Does the bad certificate error refer to the unsafe ssl3-standard or is it a placeholder for the certificate being self-generated as well? I'm currentlty on [.] stunnel 5.50 on amd64-portbld-freebsd12.0 platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.1.1a-freebsd 20 Nov 2018 [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,OCSP,PSK,SNI This configuration works with the same install procedure: [.] stunnel 5.49 on i386-portbld-freebsd11.2 platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2o-freebsd 27 Mar 2018 [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv4 TLS:ENGINE,OCSP,PSK,SNI Any insights into this matter are highly welcome. Cheers, and merry youknowwhat, Marko

Hi Everyone! Is there any option to use s-tunnel on win32? I can see only win64 download links on the front page. Sorry if this is a blatant question, I am a totally new user. Thank you for the replies! All the best Bence

My stunnel log continues to grow. Will it truncate automatically? How do I restrict its size?

How to configure STunnel to use cert. from certificate store
by Chicoine, Jonathan 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

How in the word you specify the certificate to use from the windows certificate store (for example, on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012)? The documentation obviously says to use the "cert" config option to specify a file (and the "key" config option for the private key) ... but to use a cert from the windows certificate store, shouldn't it be the certs "common name" field or thumbprint ... or something. Am new to this whole thing and have been googling for the answer for days. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -jonathan

stunnel 5.50 on Solaris 10
by Udo Erdelhoff 12 Dec '18

12 Dec '18

Hi, quick heads-up to anybody building/using stunnel 5.50 on Solaris 10 and wondering where the "Invalid configuration file name" errors are coming from: The problem is the call to realpath in line 334 of options.c, it uses NULL as second argument as a request to have the realpath function allocate the memory buffer for the sanitized string. This variant of realpath is not supported on Solaris 10, and leads to EINVAL (error code 22). Quickest fix is to run configure and then manually change src/config.h to have /* #undef HAVE_REALPATH */ instead of #define HAVE_REALPATH 1 -- "Treason is a charge invented by winners as an excuse for hanging the losers." - Benjamin Franklin, ca. 1776

Support for multiple root CAs
by Tom Bentley 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

Hi, I'm using stunnel to secure communication between nodes in a cluster, using a self-signed CA to sign the server certs and the `verify = 2` config parameter. This works great. What I want to be able to do is replace the CA key and certificate without breaking the cluster. How I thought this should work would be: 1. Configure the stunnels to trust both the old and new CA certificates while the nodes continued to use server certificates signed by the old CA key. 2. Switch to using using server certifcates signed by the new CA key. 3. Finally remove trust in the old CA certificate. I'd tried this by putting both CA certificates in a single file and using `CAfile` config parameter, and also by using the `CApath` config parameter with both root CA certificates in the configured directory, but I've not been able to get this to work while keeping `verify = 2`. It does work if I temporary use `verify = 0`, but obviously that means I've not got TLS authentication duration the duration of the process. Can anyone confirm whether stunnel supports this use case, and if so suggest where I might be going wrong? Many thanks, Tom

Hi Janos, mail (SMTP / POP / IMAP) are other protocols as HTTPS. I was not able to connect via sTunnel to a server via HTTPS - and this was the reason to create and use my HTTPSProxy.

Re: [stunnel-users] older browsers with modern HTTPS - stunnel-users Digest, Vol 173, Issue 4

Hi Janos, you can use a local proxy to "translate" HTTPS TLS1.0 to TLS1.2 Look here: https://msfn.org/board/topic/176344-problems-accessing-certain-sites-https-… HTTPSProxy (and tools) manage the whole traffic locally (in- and outgoing HTTPS), but needs manually configuration as described in the help files.

If by "forward to the current site address dynamically" you meant "forward to the current address of one specific domain" then stunnel can achieve that by adding "delay = yes". However, if I understood correctly, you wanted to let stunnel strip or remove SSL for whatever sites you visit. Then no, I don't think you can achieve that with privoxy and stunnel. If that's what you want, I would suggest you use nginx to remove SSL. The following example configuration will let nginx "upgrade" your HTTP request to HTTPS. events {} http { server { resolver 9.9.9.9; listen 80; location / { proxy_pass https://$host$request_uri; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; } }} You can then point any domain to the nginx server (for example, via the hosts file) and visit the site via HTTP. This will make HTTPS-oly servers happy. That won't strip third-party HTTPS:// URL resources like NewIPNow does, but you can use the nginx "sub_filter" to replace HTTPS with HTTP in HTML. Also there are "security features" like "Content-Security-Policy" that prevent modern browsers from visiting your SSL-stripped sites, but I believe your out-dated browser will happily ignore those. --Zizhong ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2018 21:37:53 +0100 From: kovacs janos <kovacsjanosfasz(a)gmail.com> To: Zizhong Zhang <zizazit(a)protonmail.com> Cc: "stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org" <stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org> Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] older browsers, stunnel and privoxy Message-ID: <CAOchpkq7vG8vHBCrbVn6d4Eh7M2rd6jEob_huhoG=ZefJnpHLw(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" well, what i meant is forwarding to the current address the browser connects to, so basically browsing through stunnel. is it really that complicated to achieve that? if i configure stunnel as a client, and make the browser send traffic to the accept address, shouldnt stunnel encrypt the traffic with TLS and send forward to the connect address? if thats true, shouldnt it also decrypt returning traffic and send back to the browser? when i configured stunnel as both client and server on the same computer, it worked, but the browser still gave 'ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap' errors. probably because the server side decrypted it again before it reached the website's server? i dont necessarily need it to strip encryption, just use anything below TLS 1.1. for example on 'https://via.hypothes.is/' i can visit sites that would otherwise give cypher error, and they stay as https On 12/4/18, Zizhong Zhang <zizazit(a)protonmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > >> im trying to make older browsers be able to display TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 >> sites. >> i heard stunnel cant be configured to always forward to the current >> site address dynamically, thats why i would use privoxy. > > If by "forward to the current site address dynamically" you meant "forward > to the current address of one specific domain" then stunnel can achieve that > by adding "delay = yes". > > However, if I understood correctly, you wanted to let stunnel strip > or remove SSL for whatever sites you visit.

Web mail browsing over stunnel
by Osvald Brko 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

Hello, I would like to use stunnel for mail reading from www.hotmail.com . But there are plenty of redirections, to outlook.live.com, login.live.com, outlook.office365.com etc., moreover IP adresses of these servers are changing... Is there any configuration which allowed to use such web server over stunnel? Regards, Olda
