How to resolve DNS by stunnel?
by shiga＠smart-cast.co.jp 14 Sep '21

Hi, I'm facing DNS issues when connecting to a server using a dynamic IP address. I think stunnel refers to DNS at startup, so if the IP address changes in the middle, it will get a connection error. Can this be resolved with the "delay=on" option? I'm looking for a way to handle a dynamic IP address in stunnel. Thanks.

Session reuse problem

Hi guys, any reason my stunnel would not reuse sessions? 2021.09.09 13:14:00 LOG7[9]: TLS state (connect): before SSL initialization 2021.09.09 13:14:00 LOG6[8]: writesocket: Socket is closed

stunnel logfile and setuid/setgid
by Norbert Hanke 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

Hi, I'm new to this list and hope I don't raise a question that has been raised many times before. I searched the archive and couldn't find that discussed previously... I want to configure stunnel using setuid = nobody setgid = nobody while having it write its output to its own logfile, not using syslog, with output = /var/log/stunnel.log log = append syslog = no This works when user nobody has write-access to an existing logfile, or user nobody is allowed to create the file in the directory. Both is not a good idea: user nobody should not have write access there. I could limit potential damage by having a separate directory with such access to nobody, but that is still kind of wrong. Or I could create a separate user only for stunnel and give that user full access to a separate directory: that would be more secure, only a hijacked (hopefully not) stunnel could tamper with its own logfiles. Shouldn't stunnel create and/or open the logfile while it is still running as root, and only then switch to user nobody? Or is there an option that I did not see so far allowing for what I'm trying? Thanks for any help. Regards, Norbert

Stunnel 5.60 started via Stunnel TLS wrapper on Windows 10 machine doesn't seem to be working
by ling＠aliko.com 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hi, I am trying to get Stunnel 5.60 started automatically as a service. My stunnel.conf is stored under C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config works fine if I run stunnel.exe manually from CMD or bring up the GUI and reload configuration. Now I would like it to start automatically after reboots. I tried running stunnel.exe -install which installs the Stunnel TLS wrapper service. Starting the service does not however do anything. The "Path to execute" it installs for the service is "C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config" -service -install. I don't see anything in the log. I can see that the stunnel.exe process is running in task manager. But running netstat -ao shows that no port is being listened to by the PID. Tried removing my stunnel.conf file and the service will still starts but stunnel doesn't seem to be doing anything. What could be the problem?
