Una (Objetivo) está conectada a un router, que sirve internet a una red local, pero que no tiene redirigidos los puertos a la máquina que tiene el servidor http. Esta no tiene acceso a internet porque no se le ha configurado una puerta de enlace y además no la pueden alcanzar porque no hay puertos redirigidos hacia ella.

Lo que entiendo es que quieres redirigir el tráfico proveniente al servidor desde el exterior al objetivo http. Si el servidor, ve a la máquina http, bastaría con decir en la configuración de stunnel que conecte con el servidor http de esa maquina indicándole la ip:puerto. Por eso te dije que no tenía mayor complicación. En esa configuración no hace falta que la máquina objetivo tenga un servidor stunnel y viceversa para comunicarse entre ellos. La comunicación entre el servidor y la máquina objetivo puede ser abierta sin problemas.

Reverse tunnel with middle server
by Jorge A. 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Hi everyone, I've search into archives trying to found a solution for my problem without success. The problem is simple: make a machine available on HTTP port when it's behind a e.g. common DSL. I have a middle server for which I have full access to install any program, linux. What I was trying to do is the following: Three machines: Middle server (Server), Target (linux machine behind DSL) and Client. Same stunnel version on both Server and Target. Latests. Server is available on the Internet, running stunnel Target is behind a nat router, e.g. inside a common DSL. I assume this must run stunnel as well. Client connects to Server and Server forwards traffic to Target seamlessly. As far as I know, running stunnel on client mode from e.g. Target and trying to connect to whichever service on Server does not work on reverse: you cannot connect backwards to target. Am I correct? If not, how do I configure both ends and how do I know port to use to connect to Target (log file?) ? What I've tested: 1. Run stunnel on Server on server mode accepting ('accept') connections on a fixed port, e.g. 5000. Here, as far as I know, you must define the 'connect' directive to forward traffic to either local or remote host. The problem is, from Server, you don't know Target ip nor it's accessible 2. Run stunnel on Server and, on Target launch stunnel on client mode to try Thanks in advance and congratulations as it's a great piece of software. Best regards, Jorge

Stunnel on WIndows Server 2008 R2 SP1 x 64 fails - Microsoft.VC90.CRT.MANIFEST

Hi Stunnel users, I am trying to run stunnel "4.53 installer.exe" on a MS Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 64 Bit (under VMWARE Workstation 6.5 as a virtual system; Physical Host OS is WIN7 Ultimate 32 BIT) The installation of stunnel was done as an "Administrator" and it ran through without issues.

Conf question: HTTP to HTTPS with SNI
by John Moser 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

I have a particular task I need to accomplish in which an HTTP-only caching proxy server is to accept SSL. The architecture in mind is as follows: - Receive request { HTTP request: - Received by caching proxy at localhost:80 HTTPS request: - Received by Pound - Decoded to HTTP - X-FROM-SSL header added - Forwarded to localhost:80 (caching proxy) } Proxy receives HTTP request - Perform caching - If X-FROM-SSL, forward to localhost:8088 - Else forward to HTTP server It is at this point that two design options come into play, both using stunnel. Either use SNI or use stunnel and HTTP. Via SNI, this would appear as follows: Stunnel receives HTTP request - Forward to https://http-server:443/ with SNI This of course requires that stunnel can read the 'Host' header out of an HTTP request and use that for SNI automatically (there's some 300 virtual hosts on that server). If not, this is infeasible. Which is my question, of course: can this be done? If this isn't an option, then the next logical way to handle this problem is: Stunnel receives HTTP request: - SSL encrypt - Forward to http-server:8443 http-server receives HTTP over stunnel - stunnel receives on http-server:8443 - Decrypt and forward to http://localhost:80/ In this way the entire connection would be encrypted, and the HTTP server would see the Host: header and use that to figure out the virtual host etc. Is that the better/only way?

more than 1000 concurrent connections?
by Trenton Ashburn 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi There - I'd like to use stunnel as the SSL termination point for a bunch of persistent TCP connections. I'm running it on an EC2 instance and it's only allowing me about 1000 concurrent connections. It doesn't matter if the connections come from one client IP or two. How can I raise this limit? I've already raised the OS tcp connection limit with ulimit and it doesn't improve things. Thanks, T

Re: [stunnel-users] Interoperability problems with .net client software

Not as far as I know. You need to check with the client application developers. Maybe they can use a debugger to trace the program flow and see where and why it fails (assuming they understand the protocols and the tools). The application must be coded to present the certificate, and my guess (just a guess), is that it isn't or is blocking before getting to that point. -----Original Message----- From: ProPharma Systems AG - Gregor Bürgisser <g.buergisser(a)propharma.ch> Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 06:59:14 To: <josealf(a)rocketmail.com> Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Interoperability problems with .net client software Yes I did.

clean installation on Windows
by John 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Hello. I would like to install stunnel on 64-bit Win7, and I would like to know whether it is possible to do so by just unzipping the downloaded files into one folder and then clicking on the main executable, that is, to avoid making registry entries, etc. I would like to have a minimal impact to whatever extent is possible. Can it be done in this way, or does it need the whole shebang installer procedure to be run?

Stunnel, Pan and the SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
by mike 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hello All, Running Debian 6.0, stunnel4 and Pan 0.133 I have set up Pan and installed stunnel so that I can use ssl with nntp. Installing Pan and stunnel was easy. I've edited Pan to use localhost:119 and edited my config file in stunnel to point to my nntp server. I have allowed nntp in my hosts.allow for ALL:ALL. The problem I am running into is that Pan does not connect. I get the following error: Error reading from localhost.

Interoperability problems with .net client software
by ProPharma Systems AG - Gregor Bürgisser 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hi all, I'm using stunnel 4.53 under Linux to secure a service. There are two different clients connecting to this service: My own client, also Linux based and using libcurl and another (third party!) client being developed using Microsoft .net stuff. Of course with my own client all works well. But we are not able to get the Microsoft client running. stunnel keeps on telling: SSL_accept: 140890C7: error:140890C7:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:peer did not return a certificate We have tried diffierent things... I will outline them here if you think it is helpful (in short: tried using certificates generated on the Microsoft side, then tried using certificates created on the Linux side). If "verify" ist set to 0 or 1 it works (of course) but with a higher value the above message is logged. Are there any known pitfalls, problems or whatsoever when using stunnel with a .net client? Any advice would be appreciated! Regards, Gregor

Accept on same port to ethernet aliases
by John Morrison 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hi, Is it possible to configure stunnel to use the same port on different IP addresses that are Ethernet aliases? I have successfully set up a configuration file accepting SSL connections. Firstly I did this on all IP addresses by using the following configuration lines: accept = 443 connect = 80 This worked correctly. I then attempted to setup a second configuration file on an aliased Ethernet address. The configuration file settings are: test1.conf accept = 10.168.1.132:443 connect = 10.168.1.132:80 test2.conf accept = 10.168.1.133:443 connect = 10.168.1.133:80 Stunnel is able to start the first configuration file, but not the second. The error message I can see when I run the second configuration file in the foreground is: accept socket: FD=11 allocated (non-blocking mode) Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket Error binding https to 10.168.1.133:443 bind: Address already in use (98) and if I telnet to 10.168.1.133 on port 443 the connection is accepted. I have attempted to use the binding socket options in the configuration files as described in the manual: socket = a:SO_BINDTODEVICE=eth0:0 and socket = a:SO_BINDTODEVICE=eth0:1 However in this case stunnel will not start either configuration file. The error message I receive is: Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket SO_BINDTODEVICE: No such device (19) Is there a different way to configure stunnel to allow this to work? My ipconfig settings are below. I am running the ubuntu 10.04 version of stunnel. The version output is: stunnel 4.35 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 1.0.0e 6 Sep 2011 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Thanks, John eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3c:4a:92:6d:0b:08 inet addr:10.168.1.132 Bcast:10.168.1.132 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:16 Memory:f4000000-f4012800 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3c:4a:92:6d:0b:08 inet addr:10.168.1.133 Bcast:10.168.1.133 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:16 Memory:f4000000-f4012800

Confused about stunnel + haproxy
by Robin Lee Powell 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

I've set up stunnel + haproxy using the "protocol = proxy" method, but stunnel doesn't seem to pass to haproxy any information about the source IP of the original connection, which I thought was the point of using this method? Can someone tell me what I'm missng? I just want to have haproxy with SSL support without losing the client IP information completely. -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future. .i ko na cpedu lo nu stidi vau loi jbopre .i danfu lu na go'i li'u .e lu go'i li'u .i ji'a go'i lu na'e go'i li'u .e lu go'i na'i li'u .e lu no'e go'i li'u .e lu to'e go'i li'u .e lu lo mamta be do cu sofybakni li'u

socket status
by Dee Ayy 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

My socket in Eiffel will report that it is connected, but when it tries to write to the socket, it will fail and report Connection reset by peer I/O error The syslog shows 1) ... accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:.. 2) connect_blocking: getsockopt A_REMOTE_IP:A_REMOTE_PORT: Connection refused (111) 3) Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket I believe that my socket is connecting locally fine 127.0.0.1:.. in step 1, and then the remote connection via stunnel is failing in step 2, but I have tried to write to the socket in between steps 1 and 2. Is this proper behavior? How can I know the status of the remote connection? Wait a while and then test? Is the socket state really just the state of the local stunnel connection? Should stunnel report a different state (as seen by my socket) until it determines the remote socket state?

I should note that I have been running stunnel 4.45 on Windows 7 since Oct-2011 with no problems whatsoever. It has been running non-stop on Windows 7 to this date with no problems. I have not upgraded to the latest because I have not been able to have time to test the FIPS changes with my configuration yet. Brian

stunnel version 4.53 says SSL server needs a certificate on Windows 7?
by Wayne Walter 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

I have been using stunnel previous versions just fine. It didn't apparently have the feature of a certificate in SSL server mode. That's alright but not necessary for us as we're simply running a localhost server to tunnel to the remote server. Anyway, I have read the FAQ tutorial and such related to this and tried everything. No mater what I do with the cert or key settings it still gives this same error here's the complete output.... No limit detected for the number of clients stunnel 4.53 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 0.9.8s-fips 4 Jan 2012 Threading:WIN32 SSL:+ENGINE+OCSP+FIPS Auth:none Sockets:SELECT+IPv6 Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf FIPS mode is enabled Compression not enabled Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd Wrote 0 new random bytes to C:/.rnd PRNG seeded successfully Initializing service section [FIX] Section FIX: SSL server needs a certificate Server is down And here is the stunnel.conf file contents: ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = stunnel.pem ;key = stunnel.pem ; Disable support for insecure SSLv2 protocol options = NO_SSLv2 [FIX] accept = 127.0.0.1:5679 connect = 216.52.236.112:5680 TIMEOUTconnect = 5 [FIXLIVE] accept = 127.0.0.1:5680 connect = 216.52.236.185:51581 TIMEOUTconnect = 5 Please not that stunnel came installed with an stunnel.pem file. I tried uncommenting the config line for the key. Also regenerated the key using openssh per instructions. I tried using absolute path to the cert file. Nothing makes any difference. Is this a defect in stunnel? Or am I doing something wrong?

stunnel - haproxy setup with protocol = proxy
by Scott McKeown 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi Robert, I've been doing some work on both HAProxy and STunnel myself over the last month or so. Your actual configuration files both look fine but one thing that you possibly missed is that you will have needed to have build HAProxy with the TProxy flag enabled, and I'm going to guess that you have also written and applied the Firewall rules for the transparent proxy. I've attached a DRAFT pdf of the work that I have been doing, its a very basic how-to on setting up both STunnel and HAProxy in Transparent mode on a Centos 6.2 system. -- With Kind Regards.

stunnel - haproxy setup with protocol = proxy

I am trying to setup stunnel with protocol = proxy through haproxy to my apache2 cluster. I have been using haproxy for a while, and wanted to try this before having to go to nginx, or some other proxy.

Re: [stunnel-users] Outlook and stunnel

I'm using stunnel as a reverse proxy. I have an smtp server smtp1 and an stunnel server proxy1. Clients connect to and negotiate ssl on proxy1 which then connects to smtp1 via a plaintext connection. stunnel does not reside on the client. If I connect the client directly to smtp1 via ssl it works fine.
