Can't get transparent mode to work from remote IP
by Ben Schmidt 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hello stunnel Mailinglist, I'm new to stunnel and so far it works just fine. What impressed me the most is that is faster then Apache's mod_ssl. My only Problem is that I can't get stunnel to work in transparent mode. When I try to access it from a remote IP I get timeouts connecting to the Non-SSL Server. I'm prettymuch relying on the manual in section "transparent": http://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html Scenario: local 10.0.0.0/22 > Server with stunnel (10.0.3.48/22) > local apache My config: http://pastebin.com/BQmXeT5b Log: http://pastebin.com/enQTAWB9 "stunnel -sockets": http://pastebin.com/Zbz9FTr6 "iptables -L -v": http://pastebin.com/0b90Nay8 executing iptables, again: http://pastebin.com/T87cGPBX The apache listening on port 80 reporting hits from the Computers private IP but not from any remote IPs in the same network. Firewalls and stuff like that are not the Problem. The remote Computer can access port 80 without any Problems and it works fine when I switch from stunnel to apaches mod_ssl. My Testsetup is using 4.29 on ubuntu 10.10 GNU/Linux amd64 with kernel 2.6.35 and OpenSSL 0.9.8o Could anybody please point me in the rigth direction, I know that I'm missing something but I just can't figure it out. Thanks a lot, Ben

stunnel maximum clients to server
by bruce bushby 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hi I'm about to add stunnel to my buildroot embedded project (ARM926EJ-S) and I was hoping the list could answer a few performance questions? I've been looking for a way to encrypt the connections between my embedded units and my server. From what I understood about openvpn, the server starts to give problems beyond 1024 "concurrent sessions" .... I'm looking at a design that can handle 4K concurrent sessions....although it'll take a few years to get that big. My embedded devices have a GSM modem and setup a ppp0 interface over gprs. I'm considering stunnel in the hope that I could have up to 3000 stunnel connections coming into my servers. I say 3K because by the tike I reach this figure I hope to have implemented better switches and off load the overhead of the encrypted connection to the switch. The requirement is that the embedded "non-ssl aware client" will be able to communicate with the server over a secure tunnel. Am I completely on the wrong road? .... could stunnel cater for something like this? Thanks in advance!

Certificate request popup when clicking on MS Office links in a stunnel HTTPS redirect to Domino HTTP server?
by Josiah Fizer 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

We have a Lotus Domino server hosting some Microsoft Office documents. For improved security, I started using stunnel to redirect pacts from the HTTP servers via HTTPS. Everything works perfectly, however when a user clicks a document link they are prompted for login credentials or a certificate. This would seem to be because MS Office is trying to open the remote document in edit mode rather then downloading it locally or opening it in read mode. I've tried a number of stunnel configuration options but nothing seems to work. At current I am using the following simple configuration. Any insight into the issue would be appreciated. cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 verify=0 [https] accept = 443 connect = localhost:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0

Re: [stunnel-users] Windows Firewall has blocked some features of thisprogram

Hi Josealf, Thank you for your response and for this information. Is there a VB script or other method I can use for this purpose? I use a signed Java applet to download, install, and execute stunnel, but can insert a step to run a VB or other script on the host prior. I suspect the stunnel installer may do this already, but after looking, did not see anything. Thank you > You can add the required firewall exceptions as part of your installation > tasks.

Windows Firewall has blocked some features of this program

Folks, While bundling stunnel with my user application, upon kick off I see this error message.*1 Is there a way to avoid this security warning? I am trying to figure out if signing the binaries will escape this situation, or if it is related to the binary not containing a string table. I investigated linking the win32 binary with MS Visual Studio 2005 to see if the presence of the version string info in the binary would help*2, but so far I have been unable to directly link. I originally built stunnel using cygwin's mingw32-gcc*3, so linking using MSDEV is not too easy.*4 Thanks Refs: *1 "Windows Security Alert.

stunnel in DMZ : accept=22 / connect=other.server.net:22 - gets stuck! - need help!
by Bernhard.Baeumle＠mt.com 17 Mar '11

Hi I use stunnel on a DMZ server for tunnelling/forwarding/proxying... (whatever term is correct). The situation is as follows: Hardware : External PC <==> DMZ server <==> company-internal server Operational : https://xxx.yy.zz (443) <==> (443) stunnel (80) <==> (80) SVN Server listening on port 80 NEW/NEED HELP : plink (22) <==> (22) stunnel (22) <==> (22) sshd listening on port 22 stunnel.conf (on the DMZ server) looks like this: cert = my_tunnel.pem key = my_tunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = a:SO_REUSEADDR=0 debug = 7 output = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.log ;client = yes [forward_443_to_80] accept = 443 connect = my.company-server.net:80 [forward_22] accept = 22 connect = my.company-server.net:22 NOTE: Forwarding 443 to my.company-server.net:80 => WORKS FINE!

Hello all, I am using stunnel in order to send encrypted http request/response messages to an external system called Tradeweb. Our python program sends the message to stunnel and stunnel sends it to Tradeweb through a proxy. My version of stunnel is the following stunnel 4.35 on sparc-sun-solaris2.10 with OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011 and it has been installed in a Solaris 10 operating system. My configuration file looks like this CAfile=/home/aps/tfk/stunnel/etc/stunnel/tradeweb_ca.cer client=yes verify=2 debug=7 output=stunnel.log [TradeXpress] # Port on which STUNNEL listens for local connections accept=stunnelserveripaddress:17000 # Destination address and port of TW data-center libwrap=no connect=proxyipaddress:80 protocol=connect protocolHost=tradewebipaddress:443 I have a python program that sends a http post message to stunnel. When I send the message I can see the following in the log (see below) The message gets to the other end (tradeweb system), but it looks like the encryption does not work properly.

Stunnel configuration for multiple domains on single IP
by Amol 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

I was trying to configure stunnel to work for multiple domains on the same IP address, just wanted to know how to configure stunnel to listen on different ports? has anyone done it yet? [https-lo] cert=/etc/stunnel/ssl/group-cert.pem key = /etc/stunnel/ssl/lo.key accept=x.x.x.x:443 connect=x.xxx.xx.11:8000 TIMEOUTclose=0 xforwardedfor=yes [https-lo2] cert=/etc/stunnel/ssl/group2-cert.pem key = /etc/stunnel/ssl/lo2.key accept=xx.xx.xx.xx:444 connect=x.xxx.xx.11:80 TIMEOUTclose=0 xforwardedfor=yes but i still get this error when i access the second domain (lo2) (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

Periodic stunnel 4.34 core dumps on AIX 5.3
by Allex, Paul M (USA E D EA STS) 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

Hello, I have noticed that stunnel will periodically core dump on AIX 5.3. My configuration: stunnel 4.34 AIX 5.3 OpenSSL 0.9.8m After some initial investigation, I did find the following post about stunnel core dumps on AIX 5.3: http://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2007-April/001528.html Some of the core dumps were definitely due to this issue, so I rebuilt stunnel using the steps outlined in the post. Now I do not see the stack overflow core dumps, however I am still seeing other cores. These cores have little to no valuable information in them, so I do not have a lot to go off of. The one thing I have noticed is that stunnel seems to be consuming more and more memory over time. I set up several tests to see what would be causing this. Tests: 1. Send large amounts of data through stunnel using a simple client and server. This seemed to have no affect on the long term memory usage of stunnel. 2. Repeatedly create and drop connections to stunnel. For this I wrote a short script that simply creates a connection to stunnel using telnet in a a tight loop. I did not start anything for the stunnel instance to connect to, so telnet would create a connection and get it closed immediately. telnet --> stunnel --> nothing The process started with a size of 836 KB and seems to increase by about .1 to .2 KB per connection. $ count=1; while true; do tn localhost 10500; echo $count; count=$(( count + 1 )); done Trying... Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 1 ... Trying... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 15475 Trying... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 15476 Trying... Connected to loopback. Escape character is '^T'. Connection closed. 15477 $ monitor_process test_stunnel Size: 836 ... Size: 2556 Size: 2564 Size: 2564 Size: 2564 Size: 2568 Size: 2572 Size: 2572 Size: 2592 I have not dug into the code yet, so I suppose that will be my next task. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on what else to look at, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Paul Allex

Re: [stunnel-users] Periodic stunnel 4.34 core dumps on AIX 5.3
by Allex, Paul M (USA E D EA STS) 10 Mar '11

I let the connection/memory script run over night and it appears that stunnel's memory usage has plateaued at 131,432 KB. I'm not sure how many connections had occurred when the memory usage leveled of, but currently there have been over 1.7 million connections to stunnel. I guess for now, please don't waste any time on this issue until I gather more information. Paul Allex
