Could be the versions of communication are different – from SSLv3 to TLS1.3 … Having said that, there is NO REASON to use stunnel and a VPN – both encrypt data. You only need to encrypt it once … so I’d change your software to behave differently via VPN or not.

Re: [stunnel-users] older browsers, stunnel and privoxy

Sure it can. Inetd is simply a "server" and stunnel works in inetd mode or server mode. When not using inetd, stunnel does the server work. When using inetd then inetd does the server work. In both cases the actual "instance" of stunnel is the same. And inetd always works (or essentially Unix does not). It is milliseconds slower in inetd (and unless you are doing millions of connections nobody will notice) but way more reliable in my experience.

Just for the record (I already answered the question in another message), the log says that the client - the program that was talking to stunnel, presumably some kind of web browser - connected *to* stunnel *from* the (ephemeral) port 4121. > Second -- if you are on Unix why not just use inetd?

Could stunnel encryption be responsible for rendering the year as "4019" instead of "2019"?
by Al Birchall 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi All, This may be stupid question, but I'll pose it anyway! We use stunnel to encrypt communications between library self-service kiosks and a cloud-based library system. Since switching to this cloud-based library system, the self-service kiosks have been rendering the year in item due dates as "4019" instead of "2019" printed and emailed patron library account statements. Items will actually have been checked out to the correct due date in library system, with the year displayed correctly, which library staff and patrons can see is so when they access the system directly. We have fixed the problem with a work-around by configuring the kiosk software to only display the last two digits of the year. So could it be the stunnel encryption algorithms that are causing "2019" to display as "4019"? Many thanks!

Internal Errors
by _ Ånüßås _ 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Hello, I would like to report two bugs. I recently upgraded to stunnel 5.50 on FreeBSD 12.0 and noticed that the stunnel server service now crashes periodically. When checking the logs after a crash, I see the following error: INTERNAL ERROR: Dead canary at /usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/statem/extensions_sr The stunnel server service only ever talks to a stunnel client service, also running version 5.50 on FreeBSD 12.0. The server configuration is as follows. Anything in {} brackets has been redacted. I have seen this issue on multiple servers configured the same way. <config> client = no setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = {/path/to/file} output = {/path/to/file} debug = 4 socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [server] accept = {ip}:{port} connect = {ip}:{port} ciphers = PSK PSKsecrets = {/path/to/file} </config> Additionally, I have noticed another error in the logs. Although it appears far more frequently than the error above, it does not seem to cause the server service to crash. INTERNAL ERROR: Double free attempt: ptr=0x802119050 alloc=/usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/stack/stack.c:198 free#1=/usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/stack/stack.c:376 free#2=/usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/ssl_sess.c:814 Please let me know if additional information is needed to fix these bugs. Thank you.

ssl3_get_record:wrong version number
by Moellers 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Hello, what I´m trying to accomplish is to build a secure RDP Connection between my Laptop and a Server, which are in the same Network but as RDP in itself is not secure enough I need the stunnel encryption. As of now I can establish a connection but as soon as I try to start an RDP Connection I get the following message: SSL_accept: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number I tried serveral things for example: sslVersion = all options = NO_SSLv2 Sadly this doesn´t work either as I get a different error after that. This is pretty much the config for both Server and Client. ; R.B. Konfiguration HMailServer InvNr. 4522 RDP Zugriff mit STunnel-Verschlüsselung [RDP-SSL] CAfile = certs.pem accept = 9000 connect = 3389 ;verify = 4 verifyPeer = yes verifyChain = no sslVersion = all cert = stunnel.pem I exchanged the certificates between the Server and the Laptop but can´t establish a connection to get a RDP Session going. Hope someone can help me. Kind regards. F.Moellers Mit freundlichen Grüßen IT-Abteilung Jugendhilfe Köln e.V. Christianstr. 82 50825 Köln Tel.

stunnel not working properly on Redhat linux (fresh install)
by Klaus Kloeser 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

Hi, I have set up Stunnel as SSL Wrapper for googlemail on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 7.2 installation. The stunnel.conf: output = /var/log/stunnel.log cert = /etc/pki/tls/certs/2019stunnel.pem client = yes sslVersion = TLSv1 ;fips=no [ssmtp] accept = 1925 connect=smtp.googlemail.com:587 lets me start stunned well. I have created the file 2019stunnel.pem following the Instructions on Redhat: make 2019stunnel.pem in the correct directory (certs) now I tried to telnet localhost 1925; I get a “connected”, but nothing more. telnet smtp.googlemail 587 runs very well, I get connected, so I assume it is not a firewall issue. I checked the options sslVersion = TLSv1 and sslVersion = all alternatively, which led to different errors in stunnel.log: Service [ssmtp] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:49723 2019.01.04 14:45:01 LOG3[4500:140416608397056]: connect_blocking: connect 2a00:1450:400c:c0c::10:587: Network is unreachable (101) 2019.01.04 14:45:01 LOG5[4500:140416608397056]: connect_blocking: connected 74.125.140.16:587 2019.01.04 14:45:01 LOG5[4500:140416608397056]: Service [ssmtp] connected remote server from 192.168.178.57:44246 2019.01.04 14:45:01 LOG3[4500:140416608397056]: SSL_connect: 140770FC: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol 2019.01.04 14:45:01 LOG5[4500:140416608397056]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2019.01.04 14:54:24 LOG5[4500:140416608249920]: Terminated or Service [ssmtp] accepted connection from 192.168.178.57:57612 2019.01.04 14:54:36 LOG5[7437:139957105055488]: connect_blocking: connected 173.194.76.16:587 2019.01.04 14:54:36 LOG5[7437:139957105055488]: Service [ssmtp] connected remote server from 192.168.178.57:52192 2019.01.04 14:54:36 LOG3[7437:139957105055488]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number 2019.01.04 14:54:36 LOG5[7437:139957105055488]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket Now Open SSL: Openssl output: openssl s_client -connect localhost:1925 CONNECTED(00000003) write:errno=104 no peer certificate available No client certificate CA names sent SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 289 bytes New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE No ALPN negotiated SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1.2 Cipher : 0000 Session-ID: Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: Key-Arg : None Krb5 Principal: None PSK identity: None PSK identity hint: None Start Time: 1546610402 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok) What do I miss here; what is running wrong ?
