stunnel and hosts.allow
by Yousef Alhashemi 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi, This may be a little bit off-topic, but does anyone here use stunnel with pan? My connections to stunnel (in pan) are always refused by libwrap. I was looking for the right rule to add to /etc/hosts.allow but nothing seems to work aside from "ALL : ALL" (which is obviously not good) and "nntps: KNOWN". Is the latter reasonable? The hosts_access(5) manpage is confusing to say the least. It mentions that daemon (the first token on any line) is the name of the daemon running the process, which would be "stunnel" in my case, but using "stunnel : LOCAL" or even "stunnel : ALL" doesn't work. The rule that seems to work, as mentioned, is "nntps : KNOWN" ("nntps" being the group name in stunnel.conf). What's even more confusing to me is that "nntps : LOCAL" does not work either. Nor does "nntps : localhost 127.0.0.1", "nntps : localhost", "nntps : 127.0.0.1", or "nntps : 192.168.1.". Pan is running on the same machine as stunnel so all connections must be coming from localhost. Why do these rules not trigger? Either way, I'd like to know the "least permissive" hosts.allow rule that would allow me to connect to my news provider from pan, and/or whether "nntps : KNOWN" is a safe option. Thanks, Yousef

Log rotation for Windows
by John Smith 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

Hi I came across this thread, I know it's old... http://mailing.unix.stunnel-users.narkive.com/QOEx4XQz/stunnel-users-log-ro… And it says that's it's on the todo list, though I don't see anything indicating this on the list. So is log rotation implemented for Windows and if so what is the config parameter? Thanks

Stunnel not receiving connections on ports 465 & 587

I am running Stunnel 5.14 on my Mac mail server (OS X 10.7.5), but trying to send emails using ports 465 & 587 does not work: Mail.app says: Mail was unable to connect to server “mail.bordo.com.au <http://mail.bordo.com.au/>” using SSL on port 587.

I can send emails using port 25 with no SSL. (I have to have the ‘Allow insecure authentication’ ticked). When I try to send using ports 587 or 465 there is nothing logged by stunnel (or anywhere else that I can see). Firewall is not blocking anything: sudo ipfw list 65535 allow ip from any to any Postfix is the SMTP server, Dovecot for IMAP. Any suggestions? Thanks, James.

5.xx Windows binaries - FIPS compliant?
by Rob Lockhart 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

I apologize if this was asked in the past. I couldn't find any references to my question in the lists except this (related but not answering the question): http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2014-July/004673.html http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2012-November/003963.html I understand how to compile Stunnel from source, and the FIPS canister for OpenSSL, then build OpenSSL with this FIPS canister, then build Stunnel using that OpenSSL. My question is for the Windows version with filename "stunnel-5.13-installer.exe". That compiled version doesn't seem to be built with FIPS canister, as the log shows: "Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2a 19 Mar 2015" without a "-fips" appendage after the OpenSSL version. In other words, if it was built as FIPS-compliant, it would show: "Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2a-fips 19 Mar 2015" It may support the FIPS options (in the config file) but it's not FIPS-compliant. I also assume that this doesn't preclude the FIPS options in the config file from working. Specifically, FIPS-compliant does NOT imply that FIPS mode cannot be enabled. Am I understanding this correctly? Thanks, -Rob

Libressl with stunnel
by jungle Boogie 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hello All, It appears that stunnel still requires openssl and cannot use libressl. Have the developers considered this patch: https://github.com/sabotage-linux/sabotage/commit/9b47cbbf3ce903dee042c45c8… This is from stunnel 5.02 days but are there any issues with applying this with 5.14? -- ------- inum: 883510009027723 sip: jungleboogie(a)sip2sip.info xmpp: jungle-boogie(a)jit.si

Multiple versions of TLS in config?
by Rob Lockhart 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Unless I'm mistaken, stunnel version 5 currently supports the options shown below for sslVersion: all => TLS v1.0, TLS v1.1, TLS v1.2, SSLv2, SSLv3 TLSv1 => TLS v1.0 only (not TLS v1.1, TLSv1.2, SSLv2 or SSLv3) TLSv1.1 => TLS v1.1 only TLSv1.2 => TLS v1.2 only In order to support TLS v1.0, TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2 but disable SSLv2 and SSLv3, you should have in the config file: sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 (those last two lines may be default in the new Stunnel). However, what if I want to just have TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 but NOT TLSv1.0? I last tried this with Stunnel v5.10 but nothing in the changelogs tells me that this behavior has been changed to choose a list of protocols; only one parameter is accepted. Is there a way to allow TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 but disallow TLSv1.0? Thanks, -Rob

Stunnel urgency: HIGH versus LOW
by Rob Lockhart 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hello, I just noticed a urgency discrepancy for Stunnel 5.12 on the website (both of these links are under the Downloads section): https://www.stunnel.org/versions.html - shows 5.12 urgency as HIGH https://www.stunnel.org/sdf_ChangeLog.html - shows 5.12 urgency as LOW I don't know if it makes a difference with 5.13 available (assuming urgency = LOW) but I think 5.12 should have urgency=HIGH. Thanks, -Rob

Definition of accept/local/remote sockets
by David Wittman 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

Is there a clear definition of what stunnel defines as the accept, local, and remote sockets below? > socket = a|l|r:OPTION=VALUE[:VALUE] > Set an option on accept/local/remote socket From: http://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html It seems to me that the accept and local socket would be the same thing. Thanks, Dave
