Solved! I've fixed up the various ports and now I am able to connect. For the edification of other list readers I'll summarize. I have a local Linux host acting as firewall/router. It routes requests on port 1234 to port 3389 on a local Linux workstation which is running x11vnc server listening on its local port 5900. I want to connect to this VNC server from a remote vnc viewer. (Why does the router forward to port 3389? Because the workstaion can dual-boot Windows, so the forward works regardless of booted OS.) Remote vnc viewer, stunnel client stunnel.conf: verify = 2 pid = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/stunnel.pid CAfile = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/certificate.pem client = yes [x11vnc] accept = 5900 connect = router.obfuscate.org:1234 Local workstation vnc server, stunnel server stunnel.conf: pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid debug = 7 [x11vnc] accept = 3389 key = /root/privatekey.pem cert = /root/certificate.pem connect = 127.0.0.1:5900 The certificate is self-signed and created on the stunnel/vnc server host using the following commands: openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 2048 openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key privatekey.pem -out certificate.pem The certificate.pem is copied to the stunnel client host. With x11vnc listening on 5900 on the local workstation and with 'stunnel stunnel.conf' running on both stunnel client (as the normal user) and server hosts, I use the remote vnc viewer, logged in as a normal user, with the connection 127.0.0.1:5900 I'm guessing I could configure my vnc viewers to connect to multiple clients with difference [service] sections, for example: verify = 2 pid = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/stunnel.pid CAfile = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/certificate.pem client = yes [remoteHost1] accept = 5900 connect = router.obfuscate.org:1234 [remoteHost2] accept = 5901 connect = router.obfuscate.org:4321 I haven't tried that, but I will. I futher guess that I could have different CAfiles per server if I moved that directive to the respective service defintions (can someone confirm?), but I haven't tried that either. Thanks especially to Flo Rance for helping me work through this. Now, I have to figure out how to do this from a Windows client! --Mark

Good Morning, As a novice user of stunnel. I use stunnel to make and encrypted video connection to home security system. I wish to create an SSL certificate request to obtain an SSL from GoDaddy I use the following command openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout c:\key\private_key.key -out c:\key\request.csr Is this correct? thanks in advance for suggestions

Nitin - sorry, I didn't realize this was a response to my message and I sent a followup message before reading this one. I have your patch in a previous message. I'm not familiar with "patching". Can you give me quickie instructions on doing that, or refer me to a link that explains it? I assume I need to patch the source code, right? If so, I have stunnel version 5.35. Do I need to apply this patch to a more recent version? Are there any other sslVersions stunnel supports?

Thanks to help from Nitin, I've made a tiny bit of progress with stunnel. I've created the certificates per Nitin's instructions at https://tunnelix.com/securing-mysql-traffic-with-stunnel-in-a-jail-environm… Certificates have permissions 0600. I want to use a VNC client on Linux to connect to a VNC Server also on Linux. In between these two computers I have a Linux router which routes all request to port 1914 to port 3389 on the VNC Server. stunnel on the server is run at the command line by root: 'stunnel /root/stunnel.conf'. Here is my VNC Server computer's stunnel.conf: foreground = yes pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid debug = 7 ; output = /root/stunnel.log output = /dev/stdout [x11vnc] accept = 3389 key = /root/privatekey.pem cert = /root/certificate.pem connect = 127.0.0.1:5900 stunnel on the client is run by a normal user, stunnel $HOME/.stunnel/stunnel.conf. Below is my client stunnel.conf: foreground = yes verify = 2 pid = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/stunnel.pid CAfile = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/certificate.pem client = yes [x11vnc] accept = 5900 connect = mail.ohprs.org:1914 When I run stunnel on the client I get: 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: stunnel 5.35 on x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu platform 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: Compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2h 3 May 2016 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: Running with OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: Update OpenSSL shared libraries or rebuild stunnel 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI Auth:LIBWRAP 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: Reading configuration from file /home/mfoley/.stunnel/stunnel.conf 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: UTF-8 byte order mark not detected 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: FIPS mode disabled 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG4[ui]: Service [x11vnc] uses "verify = 2" without subject checks 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG4[ui]: Use "checkHost" or "checkIP" to restrict trusted certificates 2018.03.13 13:21:17 LOG5[ui]: Configuration successful On the client, I then run tigerVNCViewer connecting to 127.0.0.1::5900.

basic usage question
by Mark Foley 10 Mar '18

10 Mar '18

I'm trying to set up an ssl tunnel for VNC per the instructions at https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-sslvnc/index.html. I've not gotten very far into the steps. I tried: # stunnel -d 5905 -r 5900 -p /root/combined.pem [ ] Clients allowed=500 [.] stunnel 5.35 on x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu platform [.] Compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2h 3 May 2016 [.] Running with OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017 [.] Update OpenSSL shared libraries or rebuild stunnel [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI Auth:LIBWRAP [ ] errno: (*__errno_location ()) [!] Invalid configuration file name "-d" [!] realpath: No such file or directory (2) [ ] Cron thread initialized I find nothing on the -d, -r or -p options in the manpage. This is my 1st posting to this list. I have very rudimentary skills with ssl, ssh, and certificates, mainly limited to getting certificates from a provider and installing for web and email; and creating public keys for ssh login using ssh-keygen. That's about it, so I'm pretty much a certified newbie. Help getting past the starting gate would be greatly appreciated. THX --Mark

Stunnel in server mode with certificate from the Windows Certificate Store
by merlin＠mp3merlin.net 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hello, I'm trying to use stunnel in server mode with certificates from the Windows Certificate Store. I have a basic configuration which is working with a PEM certificate file and I'm trying to get it to use a cert via the CAPI engine. Here is my basic (working) config: debug = debug output = C:\stunnel\stunnel.log options = -NO_SSLv3 [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 cert = stunnel.pem Here is my config using the CAPI engine: debug = debug output = C:\stunnel\stunnel.log engine = capi engineCtrl = debug_level:2 engineCtrl = debug_file:c:\stunnel\capi.log engineCtrl = store_flags:1 engineCtrl = list_certs options = -NO_SSLv3 [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 engineId = capi However stunnel does not seem to find a certificate to use: [...] 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Enabling support for engine "capi" 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command debug_level:2 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command debug_file:c:\stunnel\capi.log 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command store_flags:1 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command list_certs 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Initializing engine #1 (capi) 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG6[main]: Engine #1 (capi) initialized [...] 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG6[main]: Initializing service [https] 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Ciphers: HIGH:!DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: TLS options: 0x01004004 (+0x03004000, -0x02000000) 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: No certificate or private key specified [...] And I have no certificates listed in the CAPI debug log: Setting debug level to 2 Setting debug file to c:\stunnel\capi.log Setting flags to 1 Listing certs for store MY Opening certificate store MY capi_cert_get_fname When I load the engine via OpenSSL, I can see that a certificate is present in the store: C:\stunnel\bin>openssl.exe engine -t dynamic -pre "SO_PATH:C:\stunnel\engines\capi.dll" -pre LOAD -post store_flags:1 -post store_name:MY -post list_certs WARNING: can't open config file: /devel/win32/openssl/openssl.cnf (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support [Success]: SO_PATH:C:\stunnel\engines\capi.dll [Success]: LOAD Loaded: (capi) CryptoAPI ENGINE [ available ] [Success]: store_flags:1 Certificate 0 Friendly Name "test" Subject: CN = test Issuer: CN = test [Success]: list_certs This certificate (and the associated private key) has been generated via the IIS Manager console and I have imported it in the Local Computer Store (with the private key). Does anybody have any idea what I am missing to get this to work ? I can provide more logs and run more tests if necessary. I'm using Stunnel 5.44 on Windows 2008 R2. I tried with an older version (5.40) but same problem. Thanks. Kevin

Hi All , it's mandatory for use stunnel wich the infrastructure has client stunnel and server stunnel ?? Or I can have client stunnel vs Web server HTTPS without stunnel server , only web server https . I newbie in stunnel , but i think is mandatory install stunnel in both sites , that's is correct?
