with stunnel up to 4.29 i got syslog messages to /var/log/maillog. with stunnel 4.30 the startup was broken - some chroot-issues, with your patches i could get it running - with 4.31 stunnel is working for me but i don't get any syslogging any more - is there a way to get the old behaviour again? root@bongo opt]# grep stunnel /var/log/maillog Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: stunnel 4.29 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG6[31985:16384]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG6[31985:16384]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: 500 clients allowed Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 11 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: imaps bound to 0.0.0.0:993 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 12 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: pop3s bound to 0.0.0.0:995 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 13 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: arcorpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3003 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 14 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: bnvhpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3004 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 15 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: netidpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3005 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 16 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: icybolt bound to 127.0.0.1:3006 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31991:16384]: Created pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid Axel

My current compile-install-configure-run environment is broken with 4.30. Up to 4.29 stunnel is working ok for me. 4.30 compiles, installs but when running it (i simply start /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel) the behaviour is completely different. Up to version 4.29 the program simply starts and logs to syslog: root@bongo opt]# /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel root@bongo opt]# grep stunnel /var/log/maillog Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: stunnel 4.29 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG6[31985:16384]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG6[31985:16384]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: 500 clients allowed Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 11 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: imaps bound to 0.0.0.0:993 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 12 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: pop3s bound to 0.0.0.0:995 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 13 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: arcorpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3003 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 14 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: bnvhpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3004 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 15 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: netidpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3005 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 16 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: icybolt bound to 127.0.0.1:3006 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31991:16384]: Created pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid With 4.30 i get lots of messages to the console and stunnel does not fork into background - where is the magic to get the old behaviour with 4.30?

Stunnel 4.3 not forwarding to server socket
by Vladimir Stariradev 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Dear Stunnel users, I'm running stunnel on my server which accepts connections from my mobile phone emulator (j2me) like so: midlet app -> port:5555 stunnel -> port:6666 server. My midlet, which can be treated as a java app, uses ssl://127.0.0.1:5555 to connect to stunnel. I can establish a connection between the stunnel and the app because I can get information on the certificate. The problem is that when I send data from the midlet to the server, the server doesn't accept it, nor does it signal that anything has been received even when I have double-checked that the streams are setup. I have pasted my config and log files below. Any suggestions are fully appreciated.

need to restart stunnel if stunnel starts before network?
by Zhang Weiwu 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hello. One reason to opt for stunnel instead of ssh -L to secure a local non-ssl client is, that if user use stunnel, it can work transparently, start working only when a connection is listened, so user do not have to start ssh-L before using the client and do not have to shut it down after using the client. However these days through the use of NetworkManager, the network interfaces are often not brought up when stunnel started as a system service. Instead, the network interfaces are brought up by users, in case of wifi or wan, after user typed password. I found I have to first start network interfaces, and run /etc/init.d/stunnel restart to prepare to run the insecure client. Is there a way to run in stunnel in such a way it does nothing except listening, and can recover from network restart, which happens from time to time for road warriors like me? Thanks in advance. I didn't find answer on FAQ by the way.

Is PSK supported with openssl-1.0.0-beta3 ?
by anders nilsson 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hello I am running x64 Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 and installed OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta3 15 Jul 2009 My stunnel -version is: stunnel 4.15 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 I would like to run the ciphers TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA or TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and I wonder how I do that. My stunnel.conf contains: ciphers = PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA:PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA and the error I get is: 2009.11.05 11:32:32 LOG3[29268:47461015826624]: SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list: 1410D0B9: error:1410D0B9:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list:no cipher match Do I compile in the latest OpenSSL to stunnel? Isnt it a problem that the stunnel.conf does not even have the syntax to read PSK-key parameters since its most often run with RSA keys. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Gör det enklare för dina vänner att se vad du håller på med på Facebook. http://www.microsoft.com/sverige/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/socia…

Stunnel and RTMPS
by Nimrod Aviram 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi, I'm currently trying to use rtmps, with Red5 and Stunnel, and it doesn't work with properly signed certificates: When I use a self-signed test certificate, everything works just fine. But when I use a proper certificate (2048 bits from godaddy.com, if that matters), NetConnection.connect just doesn't work - the server doesn't get a connection. https stil works though, and the browser treats the certificate as valid, so it's probably not a problem with the certificate. I saw some earlier posts on this problem, does anyone have a solution? Any comments are welcome... thanks, Nimrod

On Windows XP, my stunnel.conf is the following: client=yes debug=notice output=C:\logs\stunnel.log service=stunnel [smtp_server] accept=127.0.0.1:10025 connect=smtp.example.com:587 protocol=smtp stunnel version 4.27 or 4.29 is started as service, by "C:\Network\stunnel\stunnel.exe" -service -install c:\home\turutani\INI\stunnel.conf I cannot connect with OpenSSL distributed via stunnel. Then I changed the OpenSSL DLL, and found that I can connect with OpenSSL older than 0.9.8i, while that newer than 0.9.8j fails. But it works by adding "sslVersion=all" or "sslVersion=SSLv2" to configuration file. I also ran stunnel on FreeBSD, and found the same result about SSL version. Here is a debug level log, with no "sslVersion=" or "sslVersion=SSLv3": 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]:

I finally seem to have stunnel up ,and running with Agent ver 2.0 newsreader. I had to do some more research on this, and thru patience, and many config changes I believe stunnel is now supplying SSL for my agent newsreader. Not an easy task for a total windows dummy like me though. Never have got the Linux thing. I guess it is the having to deal with scripts issue continually that scares the hell out of me!! IF anyone needs the procedure in the future for this let me know and I will send it to them! jb

How to setup forte agent to work with stunnel latest version.
by johnnyb mee 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

I have been trying to get stunnel to work with Agent 2.0 newsreader so that I can use SSL from my news server. I have read the faq and gone thru alot of previous posts concerning this and found this one entry suggestion for the stunnel.config file in order to setup SSL to work with Agent which unfortunately has no SSL capabilities at all. It is suggested to use this entry to get both the newserver and client to work thru using stunnel as a proxy server service basically. c:\program files\stunnel -c -d 127.0.0.1:119 -r unlimited.newshosting.com:563 I copied and pasted the entry changing the usenet server to the above, and now I can no longer get stunnel to start at all. I am getting an error message stating I need to check the logfile to determine what is causing the error. The actual logfile error is as follows: 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: PRNG seeded successfully 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service pop3s 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service imaps file stunnel.conf line 55: No '=' found 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG3[3456:1988]: Server is down As you can ascertain I am no linux expert at all so working with startup scripts such as this is challenging to say the least. Is the entry I pasted into the config file incorrect or not pointing to the right path for the config file directory or what do you think is missing? I am using Windows XP Pro and know that the actual file for the config resides in windows/system32 folder. Any input on this would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance all. jb

Using stunnel instead of SSL API
by Vladimir Stariradev 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hi Guys, I'm working on a java mobile app (J2ME MIDP 2.0) which connects to a java server, which I created. The java mobile app is an instant messenger. I want to use stunnel to encrypt the communication between the app and the server. At the moment the server runs on my localhost on port 5555 and accepts connections from the mobile device emulator I have running on the same machine. Eventually I want to transfer the mobile app on to my mobile and use it from there. My machine is running the following versions stunnel 4.29 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8l on Windows 7 x64. I have not yet configured a pam or config file but I would like to continue listening on port 5555 with my own certificate (but for now any will do). Will the fact that I'm running both my server and device emulator on one machine mean that it'll bypass stunnel and I'll never know if it works or not? Should I have my mobile app use SecureConnection (SSL encrypted) class? In that case, I'd have to make the server listen for SSL connections too. That would defeat the purpose of stunnel. Help on configuration is welcome. Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to your replies Vladimir

privileges not dropped before libwrap processes are spawned
by Micah Anderson 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hi, I recently stumbled on http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2008-May/001977.html which is exactly what I am seeing with version 4.27 of stunnel, namely the daemon is not switching to the setuid/setgid specified in the config before it is spawned. This means that I get 6 processes, 5 run as root with only one (albeit the one lisenting on the specified sockets) dropping privs to the specified user. The follow-up response from Mike was: I'll modify stunnel to delay spawning libwrap processes until privileges are dropped. and indeed, I find in the Changelog file for version 4.25 the following Bugfixes: * Bugfixes - Spawning libwrap processes delayed until privileges are dropped. However, it seems that either this fix either didn't make it in, or it somehow managed to creep its way back out because it is happening in 4.27. Thanks, micah

BBwin hanging windows
by Gregory Wege 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hey Guys, We have the following problem: Bbwin is sending traffic to 2 monitoring servers and is encrypted via stunnel. If one of the monitoring servers goes down, the number of ports being used by bbwin client increases to the point where the box is unusable - no more ports available on the windows box being monitored. If we kill the bbwin process, the problem goes away temporarily - after a short period of time, the problem returns. The problem continues even after the failed hobbit server recovers, and only clears up when we kill the bbwin process. * Windows version Server 2003 * bbwin versions 0.11, 0.12 * stunnel version 4.25 * hobbit server version 4.2.2 Output of the stunnel log shows the following error: 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:2460]: New thread created 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl started 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 356 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:1725 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 396 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG6[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connecting 10.132.55.24:1982 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG3[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connect 10.132.55.24:1982: No buffer space available (WSAENOBUFS) (10055) 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl finished (0 left) Can something be added to my stunnel.conf to prevent this from happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tunnel iPhone - Server
by LoLoVioLo 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi all, It is my first post. Sorry if common question but didn't find answer in archives or google. The fact is that I am using an iPhone with a data plan that only allow ports 80 and 443 (http and https). My aim is to be able to use all ports (mail, ftp, msn, etc). The idea is to tunnel all TCP connections between my computer here and my server at home. iPhone <----port-443----> Linux Server <----all-ports----> Internet I know there is alternatives for each service (webmail, webmessenger, etc.) but I think that it is technically possible to have something running that allow using of usual software. I also know that this usage is typically VPN but there is no VPN client for iPhone that allow custom ports and not sure my data plan can route GRE protocol. By the way STunnel was ported to the iPhone. There is some hope. I am not sure Stunnel is the best way to do that and not even sure that Stunnel can do it but hope you can advice. Thanks for your help. LoLoVioLo

Question (simple one I think)
by Reinier van der Gugten 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Question: On the server, port 443 is already in use by a different service. However I require STunnel to communicate also on port 443. I thought, that perhaps I can obtain a second IP address and forward that trafic from the router to port 444 (or any other avail port). Then I can let Stunnel listen to port 444 and thus it would work. The firewall has to translate the 444 back to the 443 when transmitting data ofcourse. Is this the right way to go? Or ca I do this using one and the same IP (but then there would be 2 services listning to the same port right)? Thanks. Reinier
