I was thinking something more simple like the first scenario. [HTTP?CLIENT] -->[STUNNEL CLIENT]--><whatever>-->[STUNNEL SERVER]-->[HTTP Server] But the end would be an HTTPS server, which would require a CONNECT to get things going. So: [HTTP Client] -->[STUNNEL CLIENT]--> <whatever>-->[STUNNEL SERVER]-->[REVERSE-PROXY server]--> [HTTPS SERVER] Em ter, 9 de jul de 2019 às 07:00, <stunnel-users-request(a)stunnel.org> escreveu: > Send stunnel-users mailing list submissions to > stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://www.stunnel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/stunnel-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > stunnel-users-request(a)stunnel.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > stunnel-users-owner(a)stunnel.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of stunnel-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Re: [stunnel-users] Error during linking Stunnel 5.55

The whole 32 bit vs 64 bit thing is a pain. On Windows and Linux you have to load all kinds of unobvious things. On AIX it just works. Code from 1988 (when I lost source code for half a dozen programs) still works on current machines. Why the others make it SO HARD is beyond me. In AIX old code works. One flag – saying you want 64 bit – is all you need to add to the Makefile. Otherwise is just works as always. It took me MONTHS to figure out how to make Linuc work – had to yum 32 bit, 64 bit, a compat set, etc. Nightmare. Wish people would consider keeping things compatible like IBM does. Ditto on new features. Any new feature you merely need to add a flag, and all is good. Otherwise the old ones keep working. An example is POSIX. With IBM/AIX you could do things the old way, or set a flag for POSIX. Yes, we have had the same source (with updates, I did do the POSIX updates) since 1988. Never a problem. Partly, I think, because they don’t deprecate ANYTHING. Use the old routines if you like. Or not if you chose. Your problem is not having ALL of the required libraries! That is it. Finding what you need is the challenge.

Re: [stunnel-users] How to turn off logging
by Eric Eberhard 09 Jul '19

Yes - just difficult :) We have our own logging in our application and we don't want stunnel's logging (or on screen error messages) to occur. We want them to go to our log files. So simply go to log.c and change the log_error() routines. I keep notes of any changes I make so that when I get new version I can repeat them.

I am using the Windows version of Stunnel. Thank you for your help.

Academic doubt about firewall bypass
by Hugo Marello 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Hello guys, I'm new to using stunnel but I find it quite a powerful tool. I'm doing a POC on how we can bypass our firewall even with DPI, and chose to use stunnel for an extra layer of cryptography. You don't have to worry about access to any VM mentioned here. Here is my scenario: [CLIENT BROWSER] -->[STUNNEL CLIENT]-->[FIREWALL]-->[STUNNEL SERVER]-->[REVERSE PROXY]-->[FREE INTERNET] So far I succeeded in getting HTTP working using stunnel CONNECT protocol to the firewall and going all the way through. The problem is when I try to access HTTPS, the connection get set to the stunnel server but it keeps waiting for something. Double checked all the logs, firewall can't discern, stunnel server get the connection, reverse proxy also get the socket connection. My hypothesis is that stunnel client gets the CONNECT from the browser and discard it, it uses its own way to connect to the firewall, instead of encrypting the CONNECT all the way through. As it may seems, I need a way to send 2 CONNECT packages. Does anyone know how can I proceed? Follow my configs: client = yes output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log debug = 7 [bypassclient] accept = 4000 connect = firewall.example:3128 protocolHost = destination.com:443 protocol = connect requireCert = no verifyChain = no verifyPeer = no -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bypassserver] accept = 0.0.0.0:443 connect = reverseproxy.com:8888 cert = /etc/ssl/cert.pem key = /etc/ssl/key.pem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you all in advance, already digging throw the source code (quite lost tough), Hugo

Have "My server requires authentication" unchecked For POP3 set incoming mail (POP3) to port 110. For SMTP set outgoing mail (SMTP) to port 25. Have "This server requires a secure connection(SSL)" for POP3 unchecked. Have "This server requires a secure connection(SSL)" for SMTP unchecked. Everything works except I have the following error message in the Stunnel log: "Service [service name] needs authentication to prevent MITM attacks" Does anybody know how to prevent this from happening? I tried having the "My server requires authentication" checked but I still have the message when Stunnel starts. Thank you for any help.
