Connection failure on IPv4-only box with IPv6-address in RR DNS record
by Michael Weiser 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hi, the server I connect to using stunnel has just been upgraded to IPv6. In the process an AAAA record was added to its DNS entry. The box I run stunnel on is IPv4-only, meaning, the kernel does not have any IPv6 support at all. The DNS stub resolver is still looking for AAAA records though. Consequently stunnel connections now fail about half of the time with error: 2016.11.18 20:10:57 LOG3[ui]: remote socket: Address family not supported by protocol (97) >From looking at client.c I can see that stunnel supports trying all target addresses in turn but will bail if the socket cannot be created: for(ind_try=0; ind_try<c->connect_addr.num; ind_try++) { c->fd=s_socket(c->connect_addr.addr[ind_cur].sa.sa_family, SOCK_STREAM, 0, 1, "remote socket"); if(c->fd==INVALID_SOCKET) longjmp(c->err, 1); [...] if(s_connect(c, &c->connect_addr.addr[ind_cur], [...] continue; /* next IP */ } [...] return fd; /* success! */ So I guess the problem would go away if I enabled IPv6 in the kernel of my client box: s_socket() would succeed but connect() would fail with ENETUNREACH. But couldn't stunnel just continue with the next IP if s_socket() failed with EAFNOSUPPORT? -- Thanks, Michael

Deactivate expiry date check, Have CA check with verify = 3
by Mark Shine 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Hello, I would like to setup stunnel but the certificate from my other tunnel is expired. How would I tell stunnel to ignore verification of expiry date of the certificate coming from stunnel client mode to the stunnel server mode? I want to be able to verify the certificate but ignore the expiry date. Not disable cert check all the way I have a stunnel setup by someone else that has done this exact thing but I have no clue how they did it. Stunnel seems to use openssl for the verification so I guess the question should be how to bypass openssl expiry check. Please see the below link for my issue on stackexchange. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/323997/stunnel-how-to-ignore-the-ce… [http://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/unix/img/[email protected]?v=32fb07f7ce26…]<http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/323997/stunnel-how-to-ignore-the-ce…> Stunnel: How to ignore the cert expiry date<http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/323997/stunnel-how-to-ignore-the-ce…> unix.stackexchange.com I would like to setup stunnel but the certificate from my other tunnel is expired.

Assistance needed debugging Stunnel AWS EC2 Interface
by Donald F. Coffin 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

I am using stunnel as a proxy to support SoapUI mock services which are used to test an SSL based application. The SoapUI and stunnel proxy are running on an AWS Ubuntu 14.04 EC2 Instance communicating to a Tomcat server running on a second AWS Ubuntu 14.04 EC2 Instance. The target application uses a wildcard SSL Certificate and works successfully when accessed using a desktop browser (Chrome or Firefox). The issue I am encountering is that the stunnel connection logs a "SSL closed on SSL_read" message as soon as the cipher suite is negotiated as shown in the following stunnel.log: 2016.11.14 21:34:19

rpmbuild errors using stunnel.spec

I noticed a few issues with the stunnel.spec file included with the distribution that I wanted to report. I'm building on an Amazon Linux host.

Use SNI
by Benjamin Hartwich 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi, I´ve found the SNI parameter at stunnel, but it doesn´t work at my Ubuntu 16.04. My goal is, to use one dfn cert for the stunnel cert, which has 4 hostnames. This cert is on both servers. At the client server this cert works, because at the cert this is first hostname. At the second server I use the same cert, but it can´t be verified, because stunnel doesn´t recognize the correct hostname from the cert. Can anyone send me an example for a working SNI configuration? My Configs: Server one: client = yes cert = /etc/stunnel/cert.pem service = test debug = debug output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log foreground = no sslVersion = TLSv1 options = NO_SSLv3 options = NO_SSLv2 CAfile = /etc/ssl/web/chain.pem verify = 2 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [app1] accept = localhost:8090 connect = 10.1.2.1:8085´ ----- Server 2 (fails): client = no cert = /etc/stunnel/cert.pem service = test debug = debug output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log sslVersion = TLSv1 options = NO_SSLv3 options = NO_SSLv2 foreground = no CAfile = /etc/ssl/web/chain.pem verify = 2 socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 [ajp] accept = 8085 connect = 127.0.0.1:8009 --- Error: 2016.10.31 15:01:40 LOG7[9]: SNI: no virtual services defined 2016.10.31 15:01:40 LOG4[9]: CERT: Pre-verification error: unsupported certificate purpose Regards, Benjamin Hartwich Referat Basisdienste Zentrum für Informationstechnologie und Medienmanagement Universität Passau Innstr. 33, 94032 Passau Telefon +49 (0)851/509-3285, Telefax +49 (0)851/509-1802 E-Mail: benjamin.hartwich(a)uni-passau.de

Running Stunnel 5.23 as multiple windows services
by David Jones 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Hi, I'm trying to run stunnel as a windows service. I have used the stunnel -install and one service has successfully been setup. We now have a need to run a second instance of stunnel and so that we are able to stop/start this instance and not affect the connectivity of the other one we would like to install it as a separate service. On an older version of stunnel we simply named the stunnel.exe differently and it ran both services separately. But with 5.23 it is not allowing us to do so. Coming up the error "CreateService: error 1073: The specified service already exists". I've tried adding service = into the .conf file and also using service= on the command line for the install but nothing works. So what have I missed? Thanks David Config: Service = Stunnel_TLS_Generic CApath = ./ debug=7 #debug = 1 output = TLS_Generic.log # Use it for client mode client = yes # Service-level configuration [Service_Name] options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 sslVersion = TLSv1 accept = 20002 connect = URLtoserver:443
