1. Are you sure you are getting plain text on port 6666 of server with IP some_ip_address ? 2.Are you sure you are inyecting the plain text on port 6667 of the sending Ip? Also your sending stanza [services] should have client=yes and your receiving side should have client=no

I am using stunnel4 to build a secure connection between two ubuntu hosts. One of the hosts (sender) will send "hello world" to another host (receiver).
When I am using tcpdump in receiver to capture the packets sending from sender, I find out that one of the packets contains "hello world" in plaintext. From my understanding, stunnel will encrypt the content of "hello world" if everything is correct, so I shouldn't be able to see "hello world" in plaintext among any incoming packets. Any ideas about what is going wrong here?
Here I will put my stunnel.config for your reference:
cert = /home/ubuntu/client_server/stunnel.pem key = /home/ubuntu/client_server/stunnel.key debug = 7 output = /home/ubuntu/client_server/stunnel.log socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 options = ALL [services] accept = 6667 connect = some_ip_address:6666 TIMEOUTclose = 0 _______________________________________________ stunnel-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
