Multiple accept parameter, or Ipv4 and v6 in one statement.
by Brandon Jackson 12 May '16

12 May '16

Hi, I'm looking to expand my usage of stunnel. One thing i'm wondering, is there a way to use multiple accepts for the same service. Like: [httpsmain] accept = 443 accept = :::443 connect = 10.0.1.1:9443 or even something like. [httpsmain] accept = 443,:::443 connect = 10.0.1.1:8443 The reason is I'm about to setup some service with sni with a few domains and certs, but if I have to have them on v4 and v6 it looks like i'll have to double everything up. Is there a better way? ---------------------------------- Brandon Jackson bojack1437(a)gmail.com <https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&[email protected]>

Hi, I have installed v5.32 Stunnel on my Windows server which is hosted on AWS. I am trying to connect from here using a Emailer app which uses POP3 to try to connect to this server Outlook.Office365.com on port 995, but I keep on getting this error logged in Stunnel logs: [cid:[email protected]] Does anyone have any ideas as to why this connection is timing out please? Any help would be much appreciated thanks in advance!

Temporary DH params in stunnel
by Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hi all, The stunnel docs say that starting with stunnel 5.18, DH params are auto-generated every 24 hours and that this "may take several minutes". I see that for this purpose, stunnel uses OpenSSL's DH_generate_parameters[_ex] function. According to the OpenSSL API docs [1], these functions "may run for several hours before finding a suitable prime." [1]: https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/crypto/DH_generate_parameters.html Wouldn't it make sense to use "DSA-like" DH params for this purpose? These are much faster to generate and apparently equally safe. DSA-like DH params are generated using DSA_generate_parameters[ex]. It is the equivalent of passing the -dsaparam option to the openssl dhparam command. Some useful info: - http://security.stackexchange.com/a/95184/109144 - http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-November/102447.html Best regards, Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodriguez(a)gmail.com

'Integer constant too large' warnings in str.c
by Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hello, Current stunnel (5.32) gives a bunch of warnings in str.c when the CANARY_XXX and MAGIC_XXX constants are used, for example: str.c:101: warning: integer constant is too large for 'long' type Shouldn't these constants be declared with the 'LL' suffix instead of 'L' ? #define CANARY_INITIALIZED 0x0000c0ded0000000LL #define CANARY_UNINTIALIZED 0x0000abadbabe0000LL #define MAGIC_ALLOCATED 0x0000a110c8ed0000LL #define MAGIC_DEALLOCATED 0x0000defec8ed0000LL Best regards, Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodriguez(a)gmail.com

SNI support in OpenSSL
by Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia 08 May '16

08 May '16

Hello all, The stunnel documentation says that SNI requires stunnel to be linked with OpenSSL >= 1.0.0. However, SNI is supported in OpenSSL since 0.9.8f (and actually enabled by default since 0.9.8k). For 0.9.8f and later, OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT will be defined if TLS extension support (including SNI support) is not compiled into OpenSSL. Taking the above into account, the OpenSSL version check in stunnel (src/common.h) could be relaxed a bit. Instead of: #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER<0x10000000L #define OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT #define OPENSSL_NO_PSK #endif /* OpenSSL older than 1.0.0 */ this could be: #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER<0x00908060L #define OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT #endif /* OpenSSL older than 0.9.8f */ #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER<0x10000000L #define OPENSSL_NO_PSK #endif /* OpenSSL older than 1.0.0 */ This would enable SNI on systems using 0.9.8 (Mac OS X for example).

Connect to web app with weak crypto
by Pete McEvoy 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Hi. I have a java web app that uses weak crypto. I would like to be able to access it with a modern browser. Currently the only method that seems to work is links on freebsd 9.3, all other browsers give errors such as: Error performing TLS handshake: The Diffie-Hellman prime sent by the server is not acceptable (not long enough). Obviously it would be better if this was fixed but it is not something I have control of. Would it be possible for me to use stunnel to encapsulate the weak connection within a stronger one so the browser does not complain? I have tried this: ; TLS front-end to a web server [https] client = yes accept = 443 connect = 192.168.1.5:443 cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem Which asks me to make an exception for the self signed cert but then proceeds to fail in same way as before. Cheers -- Pete

Your suspicion looks plausible. I have added a heuristic algorithm that identifies excessive memory allocations. Please try stunnel-5.32b2: https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html The logged warnings should allow identification of the leak source.

Stunnel and Eudora error
by EPPack 14 Apr '16

14 Apr '16

I installed stunnel on one of my laptops a few days ago, and it installed uneventfully. I set up one of my gmail accounts in Eudora per directions I got from another Eudora user, and the account works perfectly in Eudora. However, on this machine, I got an unexpected prompt that showed up in a cmd window during the install, which did NOT show up on the other machine: WARNING: can't open config file: /devel/win32/openssl/openssl.cnf Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key ...+++ ..................+++ Writing new private key to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config\stunnel.pem' ---- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank for some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank. ---- Country Name (2 letter code) [PL]: When I try for an inbound in Eudora, I get the "Error reading from network. Cause: connection aborted due to timeout or other failure (10053). Problem of course is that I'm also unsure if it installed fully/correctly. On the other machine, it installed itself uneventfully as a service, and after I started it (it came in as manual, unstarted), it was fine. This time, tho, it didn't show up in the list of services at all, even tho there was a prompt to start it, which I allowed it to do. That said, I did see it in the start menu, and was able to start it. I also rebooted, and it started up OK. However, after configuring one of my accounts the same way as on the other machine, it's not working, getting the timeout error above. Changed it back to the normal settings for GMail in Eudora, it worked fine, so it wasn't any other cause. I tried adding options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS to the conf, hopefully in the right place :) and also bumped the Eudora Advanced Network params as also suggested.Nada. The only difference between the two machines, both Windows 7 Pro, is that this one is a 64bit, the other not, which may well be the difference. As I'm new to stunnel, I looked for the manual, but got a 403 on the page.
