Tonight, I downloaded and installed Stunnel version 5.55 and installed it on Windows 10 x64 1903.
If I run Stunnel as a service, everything works beautifully. No issues whatsoever. However, I just can't seem to get it to run in GUI mode. When I fire up the GUI, the configuration file loads fine with no errors. However, when attempting to establish any connection, the GUI simply crashes and the log file just terminates with nothing revealing:
2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[main]: Service [ircs.3] accepted (FD=956) from 127.0.0.1:52874 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[main]: Creating a new thread 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[main]: New thread created 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: Service [ircs.3] started 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: Setting local socket options (FD=956) 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG5[0]: Service [ircs.3] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:52874 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG6[0]: s_connect: connecting 154.35.138.250:6697 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 154.35.138.250:6697: waiting 10 seconds 2019.06.15 20:26:02 LOG7[0]: FD=1080 ifds=rwx ofds=---
(end of log)
This is, of course, with the service stopped and de-installed.
I've tried several remedies, including running Stunnel in compatibility modes, running it as an administrator, and I even tried to install it completely outside of the normal "program files (x86)" location. Also, the firewall is not the issue.
Nothing seems to help. I can't figure out what on earth is occurring.
Any insight/ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Thomas
Issue solved!
I went into Event Viewer and looked at the data related to the Stunnel GUI crashes. In all cases, there was reference to "faulting module name ASProxy64.dll". After some research, I found that this file is either used by or installed by my Astrill VPN software. After uninstalling Astrill's app, the Stunnel GUI functioned normally.
Now I just have to figure out what to use for VPN.
