I have downloaded and installed the stunnel-4.05.exe together with the libssl32.dll and libeay32.dll from stunnel.org. I am able to start the stunnel without problem. however after the a while the process die-off automatically. check the event log in the windows (using Windows XP), it gives error msg as "Faulting application stunnel-4-05.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module libssl32.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00006cd8." I would appreciate if anyone can help me on this? many thanks in advance!

stunnel with netcat.
by Graeme Stewart 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

I'm hoping someone on this list will take the time to help me. I apologize for the newbie nature of this question. I'm trying to create an SSL stunnel connection to an https URL then utilize netcat to send requests through that previously established link. I believe this should be possible. My configuration file includes: verify=0 client=yes [https] accept=localhost:8080 connect=www.remotesite.com:443 TIMEOUTEclose=0 transparent=yes Whenever I run: # stunnel stunnel.config # nc -vv localhost 8080 I receive a connection refused error from netcat. Could someone point me in the right direction? I did review the examples on stunnel.org but they all seem to reference an earlier version of stunnel. Thanks, Graeme

Hi, Is there any way to search the archives at http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/ or do I just have to go through them manually? Thank you for any reply, Eric Jung

Stunnel and streaming audio
by grimholtz＠mailbolt.com 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

Hi, I'm using stunnel 4.05 on Windows 2000 for both client and server. I have VNC working just fine over port 443. Now I want to stream audio from the server to the client over port 21 with stunnel and any streaming audio server. I can't get this to work. I'm currently using Windows Media Encoder for streaming because it is simple and free, but I don't mind switching to SHOUTcast or something else. This is the stunnel server configuration: CAfile = CAcert.pem CApath = certificates cert = server.pem client = no verify = 3 [vnc] accept = 443 connect = 127.0.0.1:15351 [audiostream] accept = 21 connect = 127.0.0.1:80 On the client-side, I have this configuration: CAfile = CAcert.pem CApath = certificates cert = client.pem client = yes verify = 3 [vnc] accept = 127.0.0.1:15351 connect = someurl.com:443 [audiostream] accept = 127.0.0.1:80 connect = someurl.com:21 VNC works fine but streaming audio does not. It doesn't matter if I change port 21 to something else; I get the same error. The output on the server-side stunnel console is: 2004.10.18 13:16:02 LOG5[2036:1732]: audiostream connected from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:59090 The output on the client-side stunnel console is: 2004.10.18 13:21:07 LOG5[1088:1300]: audiostream connected from 127.0.0.1:1467 2004.10.18 13:21:07 LOG3[1088:1300]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected stunnel -version on the server-side displays this info: stunnel 4.05 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32 with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 Global options cert = stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = stunnel.pem RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes service = stunnel session = 300 seconds taskbar = yes verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds 2004.10.18 20:47:05 LOG3[1316:2092]: Server is down openssl version on the server-side displays this info: OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 Anyone have ideas? Thank you in advance for any advice, Eric Jung

Client certificates still valid after removal with verify = 3
by Michael Brown 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

I'm having a problem with my stunnel 4.05 setup: We are using a setup where each client that connects has to have a valid certificate present on the filesystem (verify = 3). After the client connects once, it seems that the certificate is cached by either the SSL libraries or stunnel: stunnel.conf: <<< cert = /etc/stunnel/servercert.pem CAfile = /usr/share/ssl/CA/cacert.pem CApath = /etc/stunnel/clientdb verify = 3 [https] accept = 443 connect = remote.server.name:443 local = 192.168.0.6 >>> Some output: Oct 15 19:36:34 machine stunnel[14139]: VERIFY OK: depth=1, /C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=Here/O=Us/OU=Bigwigs/CN=CA Cert/emailAddress=certainly(a)here.com Oct 15 19:36:34 fruitfly stunnel[14139]: VERIFY OK: depth=0, /C=CA/ST=Ontario/O=Us/OU=slackers anonymous/CN=Daniel Unceman/emailAddress=dunce(a)here.com ... and the same thing after I remove the hash link in /etc/stunnel/clientdb. But only after I restart does it to the right thing: Oct 15 19:40:24 fruitfly stunnel[15247]: VERIFY OK: depth=1, /C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=Here/O=Us/OU=Bigwigs/CN=CA Cert/emailAddress=certainly(a)here.com Oct 15 19:40:24 fruitfly stunnel[15247]: VERIFY ERROR ONLY MY: no cert for /C=CA/ST=Ontario/O=Us/OU=slackers anonymous/CN=Daniel Unceman/emailAddress=dunce(a)here.com Help! We don't want to have to restart stunnel every time we remove a user.

Using stunnel with HTTP as server and client

I am new to the product and encryption as well, but am looking for some unix examples using with an HTTP client and a server to communicate with HTTP/S applications. I have looked through the archives, but they only go back 3 months. I know this has had to have been done many times but am missing something. Thanks, Wayne A.
