stunnel FIPS mode 140-2/ Other Modes
by mehmet ozisik 19 Sep '25

19 Sep '25

Hi All, I would like to ask a question about stunnel fips mode. There are lots of question and answers on the internet related with this, but I could not find any answer related with mine. I am compiling with openssl (auto detecting fips) . Here is a part of confgiure output : checking for FIPS_mode_set... yes configure: FIPS mode detected So I am thinking that fips also is being included. Then I try to run stunnel on target platform (in stunnel.conf fips=yes) and it gives below error : Compiled/running with OpenSSL 0.9.8w-fips 23 Apr 2012 Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 SSL:ENGINE,OCSP,FIPS Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf FIPS_mode_set: 2D06906E: error:2D06906E:FIPS routines:FIPS_CHECK_INCORE_FINGERPRINT:fingerprint does not match there are lots of information about this errror on internet. Then when I configure stunnel.conf with fips=no, stunnel is running successfully. I know that fips=yes means that enables FIPS 140-2 mode and I guess my fips canister does not supoort fips 140-2 mode (I do not know which fips mode it has supported). Now my question is coming : When I set fips=no, stunnel also starts with other available fips modes which the canister included? Or it skips running fips mode completely? Plase inform me if anyone has any idea? Regards

stunnel and hosts.allow
by Yousef Alhashemi 05 Jul '16

05 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

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

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

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.

Receive from secure servers
by Info ITsatWork 21 Mar '15

Hello, A company which we work with wants to send secure (TLS) mails to our server. I think stunnel can do the trick for me, as our own server (Scalix) doesn't support TLS for itself.

STunnel v5.11 Multi SNI
by Scott McKeown 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi Michal, Thank you for the update and yes this does work but I feel that this is incorrect. Lets say that I have two domains domain.com newdomain.com If I'm load balancing these domains to different backend servers this will not work as it will always hit domain.com using this style of wildcard. I think it should be: sni = http:*.domain.com This will then split out the domains, I know that the chance of this being the case is low but I do believe that this should be how SNI is handled for this type of case.

Hi Guys, I've got a small issue where I'm trying to use multiple SNI rules in an STunnel frontend: STunnel Version is: stunnel -version stunnel 5.11 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013 Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI Global options: debug = daemon.notice RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options: ciphers = FIPS (with "fips = yes") ciphers = HIGH:MEDIUM:+3DES:+DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2 (with "fips = no") curve = prime256v1 options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 sessionCacheSize = 1000 sessionCacheTimeout = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none stunnel.conf is: [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 [www_test] sni = https:test.com sni = https:www.test.com connect = 192.168.64.220:80 [testing] sni = https:testing.com sni = https:www.testing.com connect = 192.168.64.253:80 I've created local DNS rules for each of these Hosts but the problem is that only the last entered sni rule gets matched so for example www.test.com works but test.com does not.

SSH connection problems inside stunnel
by debian＠bercot.org 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hello, I've installed a stunnel between my laptop and my server (both in Debian SID) [v5.06-2]. Here is my client stunnel.conf : pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid client = yes sslVersion = TLSv1.2 debug = 7 [ssh] accept = 5000 protocol = connect protocolHost = myserver:443 connect = myproxy:8080 The server one : cert = mycert key = mykey chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4/ setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 pid = /stunnel4.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 sslVersion = TLSv1.2 ; https ou ssh encapsulé dans du ssl [sslh] accept = 443 connect = myserver:444 And my .ssh/config : Host myserver HostName localhost Port 5000 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mykey ProtocolKeepAlives 6 At home (I use tinyproxy to test), everything is OK. At work, with a "true" proxy, sometimes I can connect (but I'm quickly disconnected), sometimes I can't... I've watch the logs but find nothing. Do you have any idea ? Something to look in the logs ? Here is an example of a short connection : ~ $ ssh myserver root@myserver:~# cat /var/log/syslog | grep stunnel [...] root@myserver~# Timeout, server localhost not responding. More often I have : ~ $ ssh myserver ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host In my local logs : Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3984]: Service [ssh] accepted (FD=3) from 127.0.0.1:44794 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Service [ssh] started Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: Service [ssh] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:44794 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: s_connect: connecting myproxy:8080 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: s_connect: s_poll_wait myproxy:8080: waiting 10 seconds Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: s_connect: connected myproxy:8080 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: Service [ssh] connected remote server from myIP:58282 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Remote socket (FD=8) initialized Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: -> CONNECT myserver:443 HTTP/1.1 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: -> Host: myserver:443 Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: -> Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: <- HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: CONNECT request accepted Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: <- Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: SNI: sending servername: myserver Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL state (connect): unknown state Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 54 items in the session cache Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 109 client connects (SSL_connect()) Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 110 client connects that finished Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 client renegotiations requested Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 server connects (SSL_accept()) Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 server connects that finished Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 server renegotiations requested Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 56 session cache hits Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 external session cache hits Mar 12 13:24:41 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: 0 session cache misses Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL alert (read): warning: close notify Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: SSL closed (SSL_read) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Sent socket write shutdown Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: Read socket closed (readsocket) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: Read socket closed (hangup) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: Write socket closed (hangup) Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Sending close_notify alert Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: SSL alert (write): warning: close notify Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG6[3223]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent close_notify alert Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG5[3223]: Connection closed: 32 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Remote socket (FD=8) closed Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Local socket (FD=3) closed Mar 12 13:24:43 mylaptop stunnel: LOG7[3223]: Service [ssh] finished (0 left) Thank you.

Download page broken

Dear all, Downloads on https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html seem to be broken. Clicking any link brings one back to the Downloads page (serves the downloads.html file). I noticed when deploying Streisand ( https://github.com/jlund/streisand ), which mirrors stunnel on each installation. Best, Lukas
