stunnel closing on first packet
by justin alexander 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

I have a client application on a windows machine, which tunnels through stunnel v4.14 to launch and inetd through stunnel v4.09 on a Linux box. The Linux side INETD successfully sends a packet of 25B to the client. The client (windows) receives this packet and returns a 12B packet. The packet IS received by the INETD but then stunnel immediately closes the socket. Why is it doing this? I'm including all configs and longs.

windows stunnel
by Noel Sanchez 09 Dec '05

Hello List. What I'd like to do is use stunnel on a Windows server behind the firewall then forward the data that comes in to the Windows server to another machine (another public ip behind the firewall) that's running an app that needs the original data. For example, I have a device out in the field that is using ssl to send data on port 4000 to my server in the office that has stunnel installed and listens on port 4000. Once the data is sent to the Windows server using stunnel, I'd like the Windows server to send the data to another computer that needs it but that doesn't have stunnel on it. The encryption will happen from the field device to the Windows server in the office, then that Windows server will have to forward the data to another computer that needs the data. I am at a lost on how to do this if at all possible. Any help would be great! Device using ssl out in the field sending data on port 4000---------firewall forwarding traffic from port 4000 to Windows server running stunnel behind firewall-----------Windows server receives stunnel data then forwards to another computer-------system that needs data---- Regards

Re: Windows config with both SSL listen and non-SSL listen

Paul, This is a temporary solution but it works. What you need to do is run two instances of Stunnel--one instance configured in client mode and the other in server mode. If you want to run both as services, you can install the standard one with the "-install" switch. For the second instance, you need to use some other binary to install it with a different name and change the imagepath to point to the executable. /han >_____ > >From: stunnel-users-bounces(a)mirt.net [mailto:stunnel-users-bounces@mirt.net] >On Behalf Of Paul Hethmon >Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 2:50 PM >To: stunnel-users(a)mirt.net >Subject: [stunnel-users] Windows config with both SSL listen and >non-SSLlisten > > >I'm trying to set up using the Windows service the ability to listen in SSL >mode on one port (5102) and forward to non-SSL port (5010) and then also >listen on one port (5101) in non-SSL mode and forward to a remote port >(5102) in SSL mode.

RE: [stunnel-users] Windows config with both SSL listen andnon-SSLlisten

Michal, Ok, the next obvious questions then: 1. When is 4.15 expected? 2. If not in the next 7 days, what can I do to help? I've done C/C++ and sockets for the last 10 years. I've looked at the code briefly so far, but have not set up a build environment yet. I need it in the next week so if there is any coding I can do which would help you, let me know your thoughts and where to put stuff. Also, just a public thanks for putting the package together. I started coding my own a couple of days ago and then thought there must have been someone else who just needed an SSL tunnel (and not a full blown SSH setup).

Windows config with both SSL listen and non-SSL listen
by Paul Hethmon 07 Dec '05

I'm trying to set up using the Windows service the ability to listen in SSL mode on one port (5102) and forward to non-SSL port (5010) and then also listen on one port (5101) in non-SSL mode and forward to a remote port (5102) in SSL mode. What I have currently in the config is: [inbound] accept = 5102 connect = 5010 [outbound] accept = 5101 connect = x.x.x.x:5102 The first STunnel example on the website talks about doing this, sort of, but I don't see any options to specify on a service configuration level whether the listen port is in SSL or non-SSL mode. The use of a service name like [pop3] vs [pop3s] seems to imply a difference, but I've got a custom application I'm trying to tunnel two way, not a standard IETF service.

Server connecting back to client?
by Joshua Kugler 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

I've looked through the man pages, FAQ's, examples, and found one post (without a reply: http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2005-May/000487.html) about this, but still don't have my question answered. I have a machine outside the firewall (let's call it outThere) that needs to connect back to a machine inside the firewall (let's call in inHere) for backup procedures. Now, because of the firewall, outThere cannot connect to inHere, but inHere can connect to anything on outThere that it wants. Can I initiate an stunnel connection from inHere to outThere, and then have stunnel on outThere listen on a localhost port, which, when connected to, would actually forward the connection (over SSL) back to a configured port on inHere? Is this at all doable? j----- k----- -- Joshua Kugler CDE System Administrator http://distance.uaf.edu/

Stunnel sending ICMP packet at startup
by Paul Jones 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi there, I have set up Stunnel on both the server and the client. There is a firewall on the server side that only allows TCP connections through. When Stunnel is started up on the client side, the firewall is actually receiving an ICMP packet, not a TCP. Is this how Stunnel should be working? I assume it's doing a ping or something at startup. Thanks in advance. Paul _________________________________________________________________ SEEK: Over 80,000 jobs across all industries at Australia's #1 job site. http://ninemsn.seek.com.au?hotmail

How to protect private key in Windows XP Home
by Andrus 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

My stunnel client must start without user intervention. So I installed stunnel in client mode in a Windows XP Home computer as XP service. In XP Proffesional I can specify that only Administrators group has access to stunnel directory. XP Home does not have security tab in folder properties. Any person working in XP Home compter can copy stunnel private key How to protect private key from copying ? Andrus. My stunnel.conf file: Cafile=server.crt cert=privkey.pem client = yes service=RDPClient verify = 2 [terminal server] accept = 83389 connect = 1.2.3.4:83389
