Hello,
I am having trouble with the 'transparent = yes' option in my configuration file. Basically the goal is to see the IP address of the client connecting to our server, but I am getting this error in the log file:
bind transparent: Cannot assign requested address (99)
Failed to initialize remote connection
After searching through the stunnel archives, I saw that this option (-T back then) was supported only up to the Linux 2.2 kernel, but didn't work on the 2.4 kernel. All the messages I read through were a few years old.
I am using Fedora Core 4 with a 2.6 kernel, and wanted to see if there were any updates and if it was now possible to see the client's IP address. Otherwise all incoming connections appear as if from localhost. We are using stunnel v4.14.
Thanks for your help,
Jesse
Hi, Search this maillist archive, MAtteo HCE Valsasna has sent a transparent proxy patch for kernel 2.6 to this maillist. it works.
