Hello
I am on a network at work behind a firewall and a proxy server. I can connect to my friends linux computer with putty using proxy configuration and port 443. My friend set up his SSH server on port 443, of course.
Yesterday, back home, I installed the following on my Windows2000 computer: Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.8b stunnel ver 4-14 FreeProxy version 3.92
This is the stunnel config file for my home computer: client=no verify=0
[wow] accept = 443 connect = 127.0.0.1:3456 TIMEOUTclose = 0
I set up my router to forward port 443 to this computer. I also registered a DynDNS domain and set up a client to update it.
Then, still at home, I prepared another computer which I brought to work today. I installed the following on an XP machine: Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.8b stunnel ver 4-14 (which I upgraded to 4.15 today) SockScap_sc32r238
I set up SockScap to connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 2345 and used it to tunnel a program to the internet through my LAN and this Win2K computer. This was working fine when I was at home.
My network at home has no proxy server, and I changed stunnel on my XP computer once at work to version 4-15. Then I added the two protocol lines in the config file as you see below. This is the config file on my XP computer at work:
verify = 0 client = yes
[wow] accept = 2345 protocol = connect protocolHost = www-proxy.DOMAINNAME.no:80 connect = MYDOMAINNAME.dnsalias.com:443 TIMEOUTclose = 0
Now, the funny thing is that it doesn't work. I used to have a SSH server on my computer at home (which is not running now), and I could connect to it from work. I know the setup could work if I just did things right. I know the FreeProxy and SockScap stuff works, cause it did at home. stunnel and the network is the only difference. Still I get these messages on the XP machine running stunnel as client at work when the SockScap program connects to it:
2006.08.25 10:02:29 LOG5[1280:2940]: stunnel 4.15 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005 2006.08.25 10:02:29 LOG5[1280:2940]: Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 2006.08.25 10:02:29 LOG5[1280:2156]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2006.08.25 10:02:59 LOG5[1280:664]: wow connected from 127.0.0.1:3723 2006.08.25 10:03:05 LOG5[1280:972]: wow connected from 127.0.0.1:3725 2006.08.25 10:03:09 LOG5[1280:664]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2006.08.25 10:03:15 LOG5[1280:972]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket
...and it doesn't work. The program I try using through the tunnel never manages to connect.
Anyone have a clue? Thank you very much!
