Missing pid from log file since ~5.19
by Philippe Anctil 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Hi, After upgrading to stunnel 5.19 I noticed the log file no long reports the pid of stunnel processes. Instead I find the constant string [0]. Sep 14 12:15:30 hostname stunnel: LOG6[0]: SSL closed (SSL_read) This information is very useful to isolate individual connections. Do later stunnel versions report the pid correctly? I am using fork mode. My syslog is defined as local6.debug and stunnel.conf contains debug=local6.info. Thank you. -- Philippe Anctil

How to install CA at client side?
by MingHeng Wang 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Hello Stunnel maintainers, I try to use real certificates of my web server for stunnel. I combine private key, my site's cert, and ca-bundle into a pem file, and it works fine when the client doesn't verify any certificate. Then I specify CAfile which is the ca bundle file from my registrar, at client side and turn on verification and always get errors below, whatever level 2 or 3: Sep 15 14:53:28 y400 stunnel[11666]: LOG5[11]: Service [http-proxy3] connected remote server from 192.168.1.104:45746 Sep 15 14:53:28 y400 stunnel[11666]: LOG4[11]: CERT: Pre-verification error: unable to get issuer certificate Sep 15 14:53:28 y400 stunnel[11666]: LOG4[11]: Rejected by CERT at depth=2: However, level 4 works. I want to prevent man-in-middle-attack, so can level 4 achieve that regarding to my current setup? Both server and client side use stunnel 5.17 which are fairly recent.

I installed the latest version of stunnel and am having problems starting it up. I have attached an error log and my config file. I tested on Windows 7 and it worked with no problems, but I would really like it to work on my Windows 2012 server. Thank you, Han-Earl Guhm Coventry Christian Schools hanguhm(a)educatingforlife.com

The Error with Engine
by Donne, Ann 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi all, Need your help. When I configured the Stunnel without the Engine LunaCA3 (product from SafeNet), everything worked fine. After add the global option with the engine: engine=LunaCA3 engineCtrl=SO_PATH:/usr/local/ssl/lib/engines/liblunaca3.so I got the following error. I also searched previous engine issues and saw someone else with the similar issues. Hope that the issue was resolved. The Stunnel and the open SSL info: stunnel 5.20 on x86_64 Linux. Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.1i-fips. The setting is for server with sslVersion = TLSv1 and ciphers = AES128-SHA. 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG7[0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client certificate A 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG7[0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG7[0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read certificate verify A 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG7[0]: SSL alert (write): fatal: bad record mac 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG3[0]: SSL_accept: 1408F119: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG5[0]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG7[0]: Deallocating application specific data for addr index 2015.09.08 11:11:01 LOG7[0]: Local socket (FD=3) closed Any help and info are greatly appreciated!!

stunnel 5.23 released
by Michal Trojnara 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear Users, I have released version 5.23 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 5.23, 2015.09.02, urgency: LOW * New features - Client-side support for the SOCKS protocol. See https://www.stunnel.org/socksvpn.html for details. - Reject SOCKS requests to connect loopback addresses. - New service-level option "OCSPnonce". The default value is "OCSPnonce = no". - Win32 directory structure rearranged. The installer script provides automatic migration for common setups. - Added Win32 installer option to install stunnel for the current user only. This feature does not deploy the NT service, but it also does not require aministrative privileges to install and configure stunnel. - stunnel.cnf was renamed to openssl.cnf in order to to prevent users from mixing it up with stunnel.conf. - Win32 desktop is automatically refreshed when the icon is created or removed. - The ca-certs.pem file is now updated on stunnel upgrade. - Inactive ports were removed from the PORTS file. - Added IPv6 support to the transparent proxy code. * Bugfixes - Compilation fix for OpenSSL version older than 1.0.0. - Compilation fix for mingw.

I am having some issues with getting Stunnel to work for my application. I'm using a logger that is able to email out alarms but it is not encrypted. I have Stunnel on the PC that connects to the logger. Both are able to see each other just fine but I have the following error in the log: Service [SMTP Outgoing] needs authentication to prevent MITM attacks I only want mail to go out and on the logger side of things my only inputs are SMTP Server, Use SMTP Authentication check box, Username, Password and Port. Any help or suggests would be greatly appreciated.

New Windows installer

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, I have performed a major rewrite of the stunnel installer for Windows. It now allows installing stunnel for all users (as before), and also for the current user (in the user's home directory). It also no longer installs all the files into a single directory. The installer attempts to automatically migrate the previous layout into the new one. https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.23b4-installer.exe Please give it a try and let me know your comments and any bugs you can find.

net::ERR_TIMED_OUT error when connecting to a websocket via stunnel
by Mike Alhayek 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Hi, I hope someone can help me here as I have been stuck for the past 3 days. I need to allow a client to connect to a websocket running on server 10.0.4.160 on port 8080. I need to setup a secure tunnel to allow the client to connect to the websocket via port 58443. I installed the latest version of stunnel on my windows Server 2008 R2. Then I changed my stunnel.conf file to look like this [websockets] client = yes accept = 58443 connect = 8080 verify = 2 checkIP = 10.0.4.195 CAfile = ca-certs.pem debug = 7 OCSPaia = yes ##The rest have been removed I am expecting to open a connection from the user's console on port 58443 and the stunnel will allow the client to connect to port 8080 This is the code that I use in the client's console "Of course, the console is on a PC that is on my internal network" var conn = new WebSocket('wss://10.0.4.160:58443'); conn.onopen = function(e) { console.log("Connection established!"); }; conn.onmessage = function(e) { console.log(e.data); }; While on the server, I open up a command line and I execute this telnet localhost 8080 to open up a command line where I can see the incoming request. As soon as I fire the code above from a client javascript's console I see this in the server's command line [cid:[email protected]] But few seconds later I get this error in the client's console WebSocket connection to 'wss://10.0.4.160:58443/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_TIMED_OUT If I try to send a command using conn.sent('Hello') I get this error VM289:2 Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'send' on 'WebSocket': Still in CONNECTING state. at Error (native) at <anonymous>:2:6 at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateOn (<anonymous>:905:140) at Object.InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrap (<anonymous>:838:34) at Object.InjectedScript.evaluate (<anonymous>:694:21) Additionally, I tried to turn on debugging in strunnel by adding debug = 7 to the config file This is what I got in the stunnel console. I don't understand what is wrong as the logs show that the client is connected but I can't send messages from the client to the server 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG7[36]: Service [websockets] started 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG5[36]: Service [websockets] accepted connection from 10.0.4.195:21963 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG6[36]: s_connect: connecting 127.0.0.1:8080 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG7[36]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 127.0.0.1:8080: waiting 10 seconds 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG5[36]: s_connect: connected 127.0.0.1:8080 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG5[36]: Service [websockets] connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:50891 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG7[36]: Remote socket (FD=668) initialized 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG6[36]: SNI: sending servername: localhost 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG7[36]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2015.08.16 16:40:06 LOG7[36]: SSL state (connect): SSLv2/v3 write client hello A What am I doing wrong here?
