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 17 Oct '20

17 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

Error on startup of Stunnel
by Shelstone Lorde 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

I installed version 5.41, the latest version, on a Windows 10 Pro machine. I placed a link to the Stunnel.exe file in the Startup folder. I am getting the error "The ordinal 3253 could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\Users\...Programs\Startup\stunnel.exe". May be there has been a previous posting concerning this error but I have not been able to find it. Any help or suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel Connectivity Issue

Then, you told Stunnel, if such a connection is accepted, to connect to a remote server at port 8228 ("connect = 69.191.198.34:8228"). As long as both connections are established, Stunnel will forward data from localhost to 69.191.198.34 and vice versa, while encrypting the data in the localhost -> 69.191.198.34 direction and decrypting the data in the opposite direction (69.191.198.34 -> localhost). With this setup, a client program (such as Thunderbird) sends and receives plain-text data to/from a Stunnel instance on the same machine, while a server program on a remote machine (such as the Google mail server) sends and receives encrypted data to/from Stunnel. Is this about the setup you have in mind? Is your application server or client? Does it send and receive plain-text data or encrypted data?

Configuring stunnel and openssl on Windows to support TLS 1.2
by Liz Turi 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Good morning, I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction. The problem I'm trying to solve is enabling TLS 1.2 connections on a Windows (environment has both Windows 2008 and Windows 10 environments) platform. Currently, my private keys are managed by the Windows certificate store, using the capi engineId within stunnel (v 5.41), which uses OpenSSL 1.0.1. Because of this, stunnel can only negotiate a TLS 1.1 connection. I've tried compiling OpenSSL 1.1.0f and stunnel 5.41, but no luck either cross compiling under CentOS, nor under Windows using either MSYS2/MINGW32 or Cygwin. What I'm looking for is any one of the following 1) solid current cross-compiling examples or references 2) solid current Windows compiling examples or references using extant versions 3) a way to manage the pfx/p12 (private key) in stunnel without resorting to the Windows certificate store. Option 3 is preferred. I see how to manage pkcs11, but not pkcs12. Thank you in advance!

Memleak sTunnel Win32 5.41 ?
by Dod 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hello, I just noticed that stunnel memory usage is growing slowly but surely using 5.41 on Win7 64 Bits. Using a few POP3 SSL tunnels. Now it is using 290MB memory I don't know if it is since 5.41 (didn't pay attention). Is there a way to trace/log something that could be useful ? (apart from the process memory usage curve that I guess will not help). regards.

TLS-SRP patch
by Kevin Sheldrake 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hello I recently produced a patch that permits use of TLS-SRP; it is based on the TLS-PSK code and this blog post: https://matthewarcus.wordpress.com/2014/05/10/srp-in-openssl/ It’s not the cleanest of code but it does work as a POC. The patch is available here: https://github.com/rtfcode/tls-srp The README.txt provides some info on testing the patch and how it might be used to help dev web browsers and servers that support TLS-SRP (for IoT work). There is a page on the forthcoming OWASP Summit ‘TLS for Local IoT’ workshop (for which it was developed) at: https://owaspsummit.org/Working-Sessions/IoT/TLS-for-Local-IoT.html In terms of using TLS-SRP support in stunnel as a proxy, it might be useful as a replacement for TLS-PSK where the credentials are user-memorable (pass phrase, for example) as TLS-SRP has lower entropy requirements than TLS-PSK. For example, the creds could be stored in the user’s head rather than in a file and be less open to compromise if a device was seized. I don’t know if that’s useful for anyone; it’s just a thought. Thanks Kev
