Ludolf, Thanks for your quick response. I have no clue on how to respond on the stunnel users list, so i'll try it this way. The support on the host we are trying to reach states to following: It really sounds like the stunnel is not connecting to "something.host.com" but perhaps to the IP address behind it? The use of the hostname something.host.com is however an requirement. Is there anyway we can force the stunnel to connect to the hostname instead of resolving it as an IP adress?

No DNS lookup?
by Colin vd Zanden 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi, We've got a bit of a problem working with Stunnel. We are trying to connect to a domain, but the stunnel is somehow translating it to a IP adres. (We didn't know, we saw it in the log file). This is causing our connection to fail. Is there any way to prevent stunnel from translating the domain into a IP, and just connect to the domain name?

HTTPS support for the webserver using STUNNEL
by Siva Kumar 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi All, I am fairly new to stunnel and also to the networking concepts. Currently we are working on a surveillance device running on monta vista linux on the ARM11 architecture. We have crossed compiled and deployed a THTTPD server which is working fine. Once you connect to the device using any of the web client (from a windows PC), it will take you to a web page where you can select and stream live video's from all the camera's connected to the device. So far everything is working fine now.. Now the real problem is that we need to support https as well along with http. Since THTTPD web server doesn't support secure connection we thought we would accomplish that using the stunnel application. We were able to download and cross compile the stunnel application for the device. Now the doubts I have here is:- 1) Do we need a stunnel server application running on the windows PC from where we will be using the web browser to connect to the client? 2) Where should be the stunnel server and stunnel client be running. I mean should the linux device be running the stunnel client and the windows PC be running the stunnel server? In that case what should be the correct accept and connect parameters in the stunnel.conf file in both the device and the windows PC? 3) Since the device and the machine can have any random IP and port, so is it feasible to dynamically set the accept and connect parameters in the stunnel.conf file? 4) Can the stunnel be considered as a solution to the problem which I have reported here. The point 3 above makes me thing otherwise. I have tried all combinations mentioned in the point 1 and 2 without success. In none of the case my web browser was able to talk to the device using HTTPS (ie https://my_device_ip). I could see a "client hello" request from the browser to which the client sends an ACK and RST. In some combination an HTTPS request from the browser only triggered a TCP connection request for which the client responded with ACK and RST. Sorry for the long mail. Any inputs would be deeply appreciated. Regards, Siva

Using stunnel to secure clients instead of servers
by Leon Smith 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hi, this may be a slightly unusual request, but I was curious if stunnel could be used for securing clients that do not support TLS, to connect to services that optionally support TLS. So, really, stunnel already does almost everything that would be needed; except that in this use case, it would be listening for incoming unencrypted connections, and then serve as a proxy to an encrypted connection to the actual service. While it might be nice to offer certificate-based authentication options in this scenario, it wouldn't be necessary for my intended use case, so stunnel wouldn't need access to any private certificates. However, certificate pinning would be pretty essential to what I have in mind. Best, Leon.

RHEL6 Update stunnel-4.29-3.el6_6.1 breaks functionality?
by H.U.Flück 21 Dec '14

21 Dec '14

Hello I realized that the latest RHEL6 updates including stunnel-4.29-3.el6_6.1 break our Stunnel connections! We are forced to go back to previous version stunnel-4.29-3.el6_4 in order to have the systems running again, and blocking Stunnel updates in /etc/yum.conf for the moment. Our typical client config and server configs are as follows: Client (5.08): ********** client = yes compression = zlib sslversion = TLSv1 delay = yes debug = 7 taskbar = yes cert = my.pem [abas_ssh] accept = 127.0.30.10:5303 connect = firewall.client.dom:5303 Server, xinetd.d: ************* service stunnel_ssh { disable = no socket_type = stream instances = UNLIMITED per_source = UNLIMITED wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/stunnel server_args = /etc/stunnel/stunnel_ssh.conf log_on_success += HOST DURATION log_on_failure += HOST } Server, stunnel_ssh.conf **************** cert = /support/stunnel/cert/server.pem CApath = / support /stunnel/hash/ verify = 3 debug = 7 connect = 192.168.1.100:22 The error thrown is something like: Dec 17 17:30:23 srvabas stunnel: LOG3[3385:140171595282368]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol What are we missing? Do we need to change the configuration? Any help is highly appreciated. Kind regards H.U.Flueck

Ordinal not found error on new Stunnel install
by Tracy Drake - IQ-C 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello Michal! We have just pushed/began to push Stunnel version 5.04 to our user community. This version was extensively tested, pushed/installed on a number of machines both with an older version of Stunnel and no Stunnel at all. We are having a barrage of users encountering the below error. [image: Inline image 1] Can you offer insight/a quick resolution? Bear in mind that although I support the apps that require Stunnel I know very little about the ins and outs of Stunnel. I did google this error and found something to the effect that a newer version of the LIBEAY32.dll is required. Does this perhaps mean that this file did not get replaced on these machines. We were previously running quite an older version - 4.27. Please advise asap! -- Tracy Drake CSM Senior Consultant GSA-FAS CAMEO Contractor URSA & INFOConnect Support & Training Team Lead 704-987-1211 tracy.drake(a)gsa.gov

In building the stunnel package from the port in FreeBSD 10.1, is it more secure to enable SSL_PORT? In particular, will that ensure that stunnel is using the latest openssl release? And if that is so, why is that build option disabled by default?

Hello everyone. I am new to Stunnel, but i would like to compile a working version for Android L. The android version on the website is not compiled with PIE support, thus it does not run on Android L. I tried to look through the source code, and add the flags, -fPie and -pie, but i did not figure out where to do that. Also, after settings 755 on build-android.sh and running it, i get Permission denied on creating folders inside the /bin/android folder, even if i am running as root user. Any help is highly appreciated and i appologize if this has been already write in the archives, but i was not able to find anything related.

SSLscan does not display a certificate when connecting to stunnel
by Swonk, Glenn 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

When I open a connection to display the certificate, it works from openssl. openssl s_client -connect x58.swonk.com:444 However, when I use SSLScan, it only displays the supported server ciphers. SSLScan.exe --no-failed --sslv3 x58.swonk.com:444 I am troubleshooting a problem with a device which cannot connect directly to my https server and am trying to use stunnel to either forward the connection or help understand why it isn't working. The strange thing is that the 'Charles Proxy' (http://www.charlesproxy.com/) seems to forward the requests properly. Can anyone download a copy of SSLscan and test it against their connection? Any other ideas what may be the issue? thanks, glenn ___ ___| |___ ___ __ _ _ __ / __/ __| / __|/ __/ _` | '_ \ \__ \__ \ \__ \ (_| (_| | | | | |___/___/_|___/\___\__,_|_| |_| Version 1.8.2-win http://www.titania.co.uk Copyright Ian Ventura-Whiting 2009 Compiled against OpenSSL 0.9.8m 25 Feb 2010 esting SSL server x58.swonk.com on port 444 Supported Server Cipher(s): Accepted TLSv1 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA Accepted TLSv1 256 bits AES256-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits AES128-SHA Accepted TLSv1 168 bits EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA Accepted TLSv1 56 bits EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA Accepted TLSv1 168 bits DES-CBC3-SHA Accepted TLSv1 56 bits DES-CBC-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits IDEA-CBC-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits RC4-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits RC4-MD5 Prefered Server Cipher(s): TLSv1 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA ________________________________ This message may contain confidential information.

socks4 support
by Michal Trojnara 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Users, Please take a look at the latest stunnel-5.08b4 available for download on https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html It adds support for SOCKS4 and SOCKS4a protocols. The SOCKS protocol itself is encapsulated within SSL/TLS encryption layer to protect the final destination address. http://www.openssh.com/txt/socks4.protocol http://www.openssh.com/txt/socks4a.protocol The BIND command of the SOCKS protocol is not supported. The USERID parameter is ignored. To setup SOCKS4 VPN configure the following client service: [socks_client] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1080 connect = vpn_server:9080 verify = 4 CAfile = stunnel.pem The corresponding configuration on the vpn_server host: [socks_server] protocol = socks accept = 9080 cert = stunnel.pem key = stunnel.key Now test your configuration on the client machine with: curl --socks4a localhost http://www.example.com/ Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlRmVXgACgkQ/NU+nXTHMtHuZwCfXlH0YYTHYhThoXPrCgV4OhrE BwsAoLgIpVWDOdBbISzrP53m2H9LUR6W =9DEh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

External validation of client certificates
by Rene Bartsch 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hi, we're having a special use case and hope to find a solution in stunnel. In our use case clients use self-signed X.509 certificates to authenticate with our TLS-server. We don't have a CA but a database with usernames (DN) and fingerprints of the client-certificates. Is it possible with stunnel not to validate the client certificates against a CA but handover the Distinguished Name to an external application which returns the fingerprint to check the certificate against? -- Best regards, Rene Bartsch, B.

How to enable weak ciphers in stunnel
by Swonk, Glenn 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

When I run stunnel, I would like to enable the weaker ciphers and protocols (SSLv3) for testing purposes. However, adding options to the stunnel.conf file doesn't seem to return new ciphers during the negotiation (using sslscan to generate the report). I have look through the documentation and it doesn't seem to address these options very well. Thanks, glenn options = SSLv2 ;;ciphers = DH+AES ;;ciphers = HIGH:LOW ;;ciphers = HIGH:MEDIUM ciphers = ALL Supported Server Cipher(s): Accepted TLSv1 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA Accepted TLSv1 256 bits AES256-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits AES128-SHA Accepted TLSv1 168 bits EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA Accepted TLSv1 56 bits EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA Accepted TLSv1 168 bits DES-CBC3-SHA Accepted TLSv1 56 bits DES-CBC-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits IDEA-CBC-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits RC4-SHA Accepted TLSv1 128 bits RC4-MD5 Prefered Server Cipher(s): TLSv1 256 bits DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA ________________________________ This message may contain confidential information.

capi, other engines not found at runtime
by Derek Cole 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Hello, I am trying to compile stunnel on windows instead of using the pre-built binaries. When I run stunnel.exe, and have engine=capi in my stunnel.conf file, i get the following [ ] Enabling support for engine 'capi' [!] error queue: 2606A074: error:2606A074:engine routines:ENGINE_by_id:no such engine [!] error queue: 260B6084: error:260B6084:engine routines:DYNAMIC_LOAD:dso not found [!] error queue: 25070067: error:25070067:DSO support routines:DSO_load:could not load the shared library [!] ENGINE_by_id: 25078067: error:25078067:DSO support routines:WIN32_LOAD:could not load the shared library [!] Line 17: "engine = capi": Failed to open the engine Is this something wrong at link time in my compile? I used a precompiled version of OpenSSL, and modified this: SSLDIR=C:\OpenSSL-Win32 INCDIR=$(SSLDIR)\include LIBDIR=$(SSLDIR)\lib I thought that was all that would be needed, but apparently not. I then tried to go to make this modification: SSLLIBS=/LIBPATH:"$(LIBDIR)" libeay32.lib ssleay32.lib capi.lib thinking that maybe I need to explicitly add capi in, and again it compiles, but does not run. I have also tried to move the capi.dll from the LIBDIR into the same folder as the stunnel executable to make sure it was found, and I still have had no luck. Any ideas?

Building stunnel in Visual Studio
by Derek Cole 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Hello, I am interested in tweaking something with stunnel for windows. I was trying to find if there were instructions for building the software on windows using Visual Studio. I found a deprecated FAQ that said that it was possible to compile with Visual C++. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to get up and going? http://www.onsight.com/faq/stunnel/stunnel-faq-3.html Thanks
