Using URL Subfolders to redirect traffic to a different service?
by hellmanandrew＠comcast.net 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

I want to be able to actually use stunnel as a reverse proxy by running everything through one port. How I want to do that is by using subfolders in a URL like: webpage.net/service1 webpage.net/service2 Basically, every subfolder will redirect to a different IP address or port offered by a server. Just not sure how I should configure this.

Hello, I am trying to configure stunnel on windows (version 5.69) I am using the capi engine with below conf. I am sending the logs to logstash and not sure if it is working or not. My questions are: 1) I dont see anything in the log after initializing the service. When it sends the logs through stunnel, should i see an entry in the logs? 2) When using capi engine, should i limit the ssl version still ? in your website i see that the tls version supposed to be limited but is it an old info? 3) in your website again it mentions that i should specify the security level to zero for capi engine, is it also a valid info? if yes, do i need to set it in global section or service level? https://www.stunnel.org/config_windows.html fips = yes taskbar = yes engine = capi output = C:\Logs\stunnel\stunnel.log debug = debug [logging_service_for_filebeat] engineId

Hi All, Please anyone know the answer, its very urgent. 1. stunnel log file are not capturing any events. (It was working before the server reboot 2 days earlier). 2. When we open stunnel.exe getting message as "server is down". Anything else apart from stunnel.conf file is located in the config folder and it was working prior to the server reboot. the only change we did was replaced a pem & .key files in c:\programfilesx86\stunnel\config and then server was rebooted. since then the events are not getting captured in d:\stunnellogs\stunnel.log file. Also how to verify the stunnel functionality till then

help configuring stunnel with ssl ceritificate
by Andrei 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Hello! I'm trying to configure stunnel with an ssl certificate. I have the certificate (.p12 format) from the site owners, installed it in the Personal folder of the current user and local machine. Before installing stunnel I had to select the certificate in the browser when accessing the site. With this configuration [sts] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:42354 connect = y7m2zq.its:443 key = E:\!Work\ cert_.pem CAfile = E:\!Work\ cert_.pem verify=0 the stunnel starts but I get a `No required SSL certificate was sent`when accessing from the browser. If I use this config [sts] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:42354 connect = y7m2zq.its:443 cert = E:\!Work\cert_.p12 key = E:\!Work\cert_.pem CAfile = E:\!Work\cert_.pem verify=0 the stunnel will not start PKCS12_parse: crypto/evp/evp_fetch.c:373: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported LOG3[main]: Service [sts]: Failed to initialize TLS context Please help. I would like to be able to open the site without choosing the certificate. Thank you!
