-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, I'm new to stunnel and I'm looking for a way to run stunnel on a single port. Then based on the client certificate, proxy that connection (in clear) to a different IP:port. If this something I can do with stunnel or am i barking up the wrong tree so to speak. Any help would be a appreciated guys.

Does stunnel support IPv6, and proxying from IPv4 to IPv6?
by Jeff Schmidt 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello, I was wondering, does stunnel have IPv6 support? If so, does such support extend to the point of allowing the 'local' side of the connection (e.g. from a server process, or from a client application) to be made with IPv4, while the 'global' side is IPv6? If so, is it possible to use stunnel in an unencrypting mode (that is, not encrypting the data with SSL, but just using stunnel to proxy traffic between IPv4 and IPv6)? The reason I ask is that I am looking for a solution to allow me to IPv6-enable 'legacy' IPv4 applications. When I started thinking about this problem, I almost immediately remembered using stunnel in the past to SSL-enable IPv4 applications which didn't have built-in SSL support, and it occured to me that there was a lot of similarity between the non-SSL application problem, and the non-IPv6 application problem - that is, it seems like possibly, you could setup a sort of IPv6 tunnel using stunnel (or something similar), where the legacy application makes an local IPv4 connection to the stunnel/proxy software, and the proxy then makes an IPv6 connection, just like stunnel accepts local IPv4 connections (unecrypted) and then creates a second, proxied connection which is encrypted. Does that make any sense? (I hope so). So, can stunnel be used with both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously?

Memory problems
by Peter Griffin 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hi, I'm using stunnel 4.22 with OpenSSL 0.9.7m - I am using 4.22 because of the xforwarded-for patch and 4.27 is not supported. I am running stunnel in standalone mode on a P4 3.2Ghz with 1Gb of Ram. When I start haproxy & stunnel after a reboot, free memory starts at about 750Mb then slowly degrades to about 45Mb. After 8 more hours or so of operation our site was completely unbrowsable. I checked our firewall for unusual traffic, and there were none. Running top does not indicate any processes which are consuming all that memory and that is what I find weid. Only a reboot frees up the memory. Should I be running stunnel on more Ram? stunnel -v output: [root@lb1 ~]# stunnel -version stunnel 4.22 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.7m 23 Feb 2007 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Global options debug = 5 pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none stunnel.conf: #setuid=stunnel #setgid=proxy #debug = 3 #output = /var/log/stunnel.log socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [https] accept=10.0.1.50:443 connect=10.0.1.50:80 TIMEOUTclose=0 xforwardedfor=yes

HTTP Connect proxy patch
by Dmitry Gromov 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hi! It seems like the latest patch to support HTTP Connect proxy is for 4.05 version. Any one knows if it is compatible with the latest version? If not, is there more recent version of the patch? I also wonder why this never made to the code... Seems like a very useful feature. Thanks, Dmitry -- DG NJ

My current compile-install-configure-run environment is broken with 4.30. Up to 4.29 stunnel is working ok for me. 4.30 compiles, installs but when running it (i simply start /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel) the behaviour is completely different.
