Web mail browsing over stunnel
by Osvald Brko 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

Hello, I would like to use stunnel for mail reading from www.hotmail.com . But there are plenty of redirections, to outlook.live.com, login.live.com, outlook.office365.com etc., moreover IP adresses of these servers are changing... Is there any configuration which allowed to use such web server over stunnel? Regards, Olda

stunnel 5.50 released
by Michal Trojnara 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Dear Users, I have released version 5.50 of stunnel. Version 5.50, 2018.12.02, urgency: MEDIUM * New features - 32-bit Windows builds replaced with 64-bit builds. - OpenSSL DLLs updated to version 1.1.1. - Check whether "output" is not a relative file name. - Major code cleanup in the configuration file parser. - Added sslVersion, sslVersionMin and sslVersionMax for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and later. * Bugfixes - Fixed PSK session resumption with TLS 1.3. - Fixed a memory leak in WIN32 logging subsystem. - Allow for zero value (ignored) TLS options. - Partially refactored configuration file parsing and logging subsystems for clearer code and minor bugfixes. * Caveats - We removed FIPS support from our standard builds. FIPS will still be available with bespoke builds.

PSK mode does not work correctly with TLSv1.3
by Zizhong Zhang 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

Hello, In TLSv1.3, session resumption has been reworked to be the same way as PSK. The client attempts resumption by appending a ticket as PSK identity to the head of the list. With OpenSSL 1.1.1, the server side should use the new SSL_CTX_set_psk_find_session_callback() callback instead of SSL_CTX_set_psk_server_callback() which is used by stunnel now. Because stunnel only verifies against the first PSK identity, stunnel will fail for every other connections it makes. This impacts the default configuration when running with OpenSSL 1.1.1 because TLSv1.3 is enabled by default. It may be confusing because only half of the connections will fail as the client will try to resume the last successful session for every second connections. I purpose that stunnel should switch to SSL_CTX_set_psk_find_session_callback() for OpenSSL 1.1.1, and that it preferably should default to a maximum version of TLSv1.2 because it might be compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.x but runs with OpenSSL 1.1.1 which will enable TLSv1.3 automatically. With regards, --Zizhong

Installing stunnel as a Windows service with another service name?
by Al Birchall 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi, Is it possible to install stunnel as a Windows service with another name? I want to have multiple instances of stunnel running on the same Windows 2008 server, if possible. Many thanks. Al

Re: [stunnel-users] Multiple Instance of sTunnel on same machine
by Shah, Marmik 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

I would be connecting to different Vendors using sTunnel from my machine. I want to run multiple instance of sTunnel as hosted service on Window Server. How can I achieve that ? I can do that through Terminal but I want to install stunnel service per vendor (in Service Control Manager) so that I can manage them independently and stop or start based on Vendor's requirement. I can do this through Command Prompt. Thanks Marmik ............................................................................

Being just a dumb user, i supposed the distribution should stay 'in harmony': Ok now i know for oldstable this can be solved by backports or compiling stunnel with a static openssl-lib. Upgrading to stretch is not yet a choice because i am using stunnel with 'verify=3' which results in checking the self-signed client-certs at the server: Can't tell why but my cacert file was generated with a CAFile value of FALSE, which worked until jessie but at stretch the request results in a reject by the openssl-lib because of the FALSE-value. So first i have to renew and deploy all my customers certs - about 80 - with a stretch-conform cacert performing with CAFile=true. Hans -- https://hoermann-solutions.com
