Hi All, Please anyone know the answer, its very urgent. 1. stunnel log file are not capturing any events. (It was working before the server reboot 2 days earlier). 2. When we open stunnel.exe getting message as "server is down". Anything else apart from stunnel.conf file is located in the config folder and it was working prior to the server reboot. the only change we did was replaced a pem & .key files in c:\programfilesx86\stunnel\config and then server was rebooted. since then the events are not getting captured in d:\stunnellogs\stunnel.log file. Also how to verify the stunnel functionality till then

help configuring stunnel with ssl ceritificate
by Andrei 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Hello! I'm trying to configure stunnel with an ssl certificate. I have the certificate (.p12 format) from the site owners, installed it in the Personal folder of the current user and local machine. Before installing stunnel I had to select the certificate in the browser when accessing the site. With this configuration [sts] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:42354 connect = y7m2zq.its:443 key = E:\!Work\ cert_.pem CAfile = E:\!Work\ cert_.pem verify=0 the stunnel starts but I get a `No required SSL certificate was sent`when accessing from the browser. If I use this config [sts] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:42354 connect = y7m2zq.its:443 cert = E:\!Work\cert_.p12 key = E:\!Work\cert_.pem CAfile = E:\!Work\cert_.pem verify=0 the stunnel will not start PKCS12_parse: crypto/evp/evp_fetch.c:373: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported LOG3[main]: Service [sts]: Failed to initialize TLS context Please help. I would like to be able to open the site without choosing the certificate. Thank you!

Inbound and outbound connection on same PC?
by trashrap22＠gmail.com 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Hi, I have a linux PC that now successfully runs a stunnel client connection with a remote server. I now want to be able to access sql server on that linux PC from a remote Windows PC. What I would like to gather information on: 1. Can the client configuration of stunnel on the linux PC be used for a second connection from the remote windows PC to access data (sql server)? 2. Thus, what differentiates a client from a server - a server can have multiple connections and provides data? A client can't? 3. What is the correct route I should take? Regards,

Reading HSM Pincode from file and passing it to Stunnel/OpenSSL
by Andreas Heijdendael 30 May '23

30 May '23

Hi there, I'm running into an issue. I'm trying to run stunnel on my new Ubuntu 22.04 system whereas before I was running it on Windows. Thing is, on the Windows system I had to compile stunnel manually as I need to read an encrypted file on the filesystem that contains the user-pin for my HSM. On Windows, that worked. On Ubuntu I'm having issues with the C11 _s functions (like sscanf_s and the likes). ChatGTP suggested using clang compiler, but I have not clue on how to do that. Of enabling C11 Annex K support in Ubuntu (no such thing, apparently).... Is there anybody here that makes use of these _s functions in their code on Ubuntu 22.04? Or explain how to use these functions in gcc? Or compile stunnel (+ additional code) using Clang. Thanks!! Andreas

ssl3 wrong version number
by trashrap22＠gmail.com 18 May '23

I get the following error running 'sudo service stunnel4 status' : LOG3[0]: SSL_accept: ../ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:331: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number is that merely a mismatch between openSSL versions used by client and server? I have tried changing the config file options, also with no specification since the default according to stunnel.org is: options = NO_SSLv2 options = NO_SSLv3 I have tried (service level option): sslVersion = TLSv1 Same error.

TLS alert (read): warning: close notify
by trashrap22＠gmail.com 18 May '23

18 May '23

Hi All, Hopefully the last question with my struggles! Stunnel connects and the initial TLS connection works - but then it seems the client or server (I am client) does not trust the psk key? Any ideas? Note - part of the previous issue was creating a 64B/512b PSK and NOT a 32/B/256b psk. I created that key and shared it with the server. See below line referencing 256bit encryption?

chroot jail on debian 11 for stunnel steps?
by trashrap22＠gmail.com 11 May '23

11 May '23

Does someone have all the steps in order to setup a chroot jail on debian 11 OS - I have followed [this](https://manpages.debian.org/testing/stunnel4/stunnel.8.en.html) mostly - but think I am going to miss some differences to Debian 11 and go down a rabbit hole. Anyone have done it on Debian 11 care to share the steps?
