Requests to cloud server that requires host header
by Lorne Kates 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

(related to Akamai message from before-- but I have better troubleshooting information). I'm tying to route traffic through stunnel to a "cloud" based-endpoint. That endpoint has a static server name-- test.authorize.net. (This is the dev sandbox for auth.net). But if you do an nslookup on test.authorize.net, you'll get back a different servername and IP, because it's so wonderfully "cloud". Stunnel apparently tries to connect to the nslookup value. The server rejects the request because it can't route it back to test.authorize.net. I've tried adding "delay = yes" and "sni = test.authorize.net", but neither work. To see this in action, a simple setup with any accept, then connect to test.authorize.net:443 in client = yes mode. This is what a valid response looks like (13 -- give me the darn merchant ID in a POST): https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll This is what you'll get if you try to use stunnel (400 invalid url) : https://23.195.204.150/gateway/transact.dll So how can I get stunnel to send the proper Request Header (host: test.authorize.net), make sure it's using http/1.1, etc?

Stunnel & Gmail security
by BOXI31 TEST 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hi all, To make "Stunnel 5.31" work with Gmail, I have to go in security settings of Gmail and "allow less secure apps to access my account". Is it mandatory ? Is it possible to set Stunnel to access Gmail without lowering it security level ? How ? I checked in log file TLS v1.2 is used by Stunnel but Gmail still consider it as a "less secure app." ! Regards, Steve

When running stunnel 5.43 on Linux 4.14 (arm), accept = port only listens on 127.0.0.1:port. I don't know if other operating systems are affected. Carter

Re: [stunnel-users] TLS "translation" & 2-way auth

It would be nice to know whether it is actually possible to achieve this with stunnel. If not, is there any other tool I could use or combine?

Ubuntu 16.04 problem
by Carter Browne 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

I have a very confusing problem with stunnel on Ubuntu. I have a configuration file that I have used in both Windows and Arch Linux. In the Arch version, I use a single file with all the certificates for the partner systems, in the Windows version I use a capath directory. I have tried both here and I always get the response "tlsv1 alert unknown ca". The beginning of the stunnel.conf file is below. Any hints would be appreciated. Carter cert = /etc/stunnel/xxxxxxx.pem key = /etc/stunnel/xxxxxxx.pem fips = no # Enable client mode client = yes ; Some security enhancements for UNIX systems - comment them out on Win32 #chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ #setuid = stunnel #setgid = stunnel ; PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid ; Some performance tunings # Debug and Foreground are for testing socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 # Uncomment for debugging stunnel problems debug = 5 output = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.log ##foreground = yes ; NO SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 sslVersion = all Ciphers = ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDH-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDH-ECDSA-AES128-SHA # # Uncomment and modify the CAFile to point to your ca.txt file #CAFile = /etc/stunnel/all.pem CAPath = /etc/stunnel/capath #CAPath = @sysconfdir/ssl/certs # Uncomment and modify the verify to enable CA validation # verifyChain = no VerifyPeer = yes

Possible stunnel 5.43 bug ?
by Bezspam 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, I use stunnel on FreeBSD 11.1. I install it from ports. Yesterday I updated to stunnel 5.43. However it stopped working. I investigated the problem and found the issue- instead on all network interfaces, "accept" listens on 127.0.0.1 : sockstat -4 USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS stunnel stunnel 43945 7 tcp4 127.0.0.1:2222 *:* stunnel stunnel 43945 8 tcp4 127.0.0.1:3128 *:* stunnel stunnel 43945 9 tcp4 127.0.0.1:8080 *:* stunnel stunnel 43945 10 tcp4 127.0.0.1:1616 *:* A workaround is to modify "accept = 0.0.0.0:3128" explicitly to listen on 0.0.0.0. Is this a bug or expected behaviour? Best regards, Bez Spam

TLS "translation" & 2-way auth
by Igor Gatis 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Consider scenario below: Server A ==TLS==> Server B ==TLS+2WayAuth==> Server C Server A needs to connect to Server C through Server B which runs Stunnel. Server C requires 2-way authentication. I have full control over Server A and Server B and Server C belongs to a third-party. What does Stunnel config should look like?
