Hi, all.

stunnel as simple TLS terminator to web backend -- works, but 1st response is blank page, after reload all's good ?
by PGNet Dev 15 Oct '22

15 Oct '22

I'm running [.] stunnel 5.66 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu platform [.] Compiled/running with OpenSSL 3.0.5 5 Jul 2022 on lsb_release -rd Description: Fedora release 36 (Thirty Six) Release: 36 uname -rm 5.19.15-201.fc36.x86_64 x86_64 it's setup to frontend terminate TLS in front of a bind9 nameserver instance's statistics (http-only) web server backend. it's a trivial config, cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf debug = 5 syslog = yes [bind9-stats] accept = ns.example.com:10000 connect = 127.0.0.1:10001 sslVersion = TLSv1.3 ciphersuites = TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 requireCert = yes verifyChain = yes verifyPeer = no CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/example_CA.CHAIN.crt.pem cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ns.example.com.COMBINED.pem key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ns.example.com.server.key.pem sessionCacheSize = 1 sessionCacheTimeout = 360 and it does provide access, with no apparent/reported *error*, afaict. but, on initial access, i.e. first nav to the exposed site page, I get a blank page. simply RELOADING the browser page cures the problem. page display, with current/correct data -- as do all (sub)links on the page. this is repeatable behavior in multiple browsers (Firefox, Chromium, Chrome). so far i've not found any indication of an actual error -- only this 1st-page-visit-is-blank behavior, unique to my stunnel usage. other/heavier frontends have no such issue. odd, but not fatal. or even, apparently, problematic (so far, i think). is this a pebkac/config issue? or a known issue/bug? other?

32-bit windows download
by Ágnes Kakasi 27 Sep '22

27 Sep '22

Hi, I'm looking for help to download and install Stunnel on a laptop with 32-bit Windows 7. I have downloaded the available download file from the website (stunnel-5.66-win64-installer.exe) but the computer indicates it cannot open the file. I tried to find info on this and in the platform sections I found Stunnel can run on 32-bit, as well, but I don't know how to make it work. Can you please advise me on what the correct download file is and how to install it so that it works on this computer? Thank you in advance. Agnes

v5.66: failing test 081
by Andreas Vetter 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Hi, in open build system I get the following failing test, when building and testing stunnel 5.66: [ 45s] 081. Test IPv6 support [ 45s] [client] Read '2022.09.15 21:17:15 LOG6[0]: TLS fd: Connection reset by peer (104)' [ 45s] ...................................................................... failed Is this a stunnel problem or a problem with logging inside the build system? What can I do to get more verbose information during build? The test is working for a similar target OS (openSUSE_Tumbleweed) and not for this one (openSUSE:Factory). The difference is small, but sometimes not neglectible: openSUSE:Factory is the to be tested submissions, always in the flow. openSUSE_Tumbleweed is a tested working snapshot of Factory. Best regards, Andreas
