Passing client IP via stunned to HAProxy
by Ashok Kumar Agrawal 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

Hi, Our setup has stunnel and HAproxy running on same server. Our clients (postgresql clients) connect to port where stunnel is listening. Clients are sending encrypted data (setting sslmode=require in pgsql connection options). Stunnel listens to encrypted traffic and writes unencrypted traffic to another port on same host where HAproxy is listening. Then, HAProxy passes this request to one of many postgresql servers. These servers are custom written to implement postgresql protocol. We want IP of the postgresql clients to be captured at the server. HAProxy documentation says that proxy protocol is only way to pass original client IP for non-http traffic. Can you please suggest how we can configure Stunnel to listen to encrypted postgresql client traffic (pgsql protocol) and write unencrypted data to HAProxy instance in proxy protocol. Following are our current configurations for stunnel and HAProxy: Stunnel: foreground = yes debug = 5 socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = l:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 socket = l:TCP_KEEPIDLE=120 socket = l:TCP_KEEPINTVL=30 socket = l:TCP_KEEPCNT=3 ciphers = HIGH:MEDIUM [postgres-serverB] protocol = pgsql accept = 0.0.0.0:3255 connect = localhost:5433 retry = yes cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.crt delay = no sslVersion = TLSv1.2 HAProxy: listen pgsql mode tcp option tcplog bind *:5433 balance leastconn timeout server 1d timeout client 1d option tcp-check option clitcpka server qspgsqlsvr1 host.docker.internal:5432 check Thanks, Ashok

Oqsprovider support with Openssl 3,x
by mukesh.kochu＠yahoo.com 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

hello Team, Anybody knows how to plugin the provider included in the openssl 3.x , to be supported with stunnel , by doing any configuration change or so . To give you guys a background , I compiled a openssl 3.x version and and then compiled liboqs , and build the ops provider support in the openssl 3.x .following the below link. https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/oqs-provider I was under the impression tunnel might support all algorithm which is supported in the openssl version which is used to build the stunnel So I rebuild the same using the pqc supported openssl , but unfortunately not sure how to consume the provider there and or what to be tweaked in he tunnel source code that multiple providers or algorithms will be supported or not . or is it not possible to achieve this without doing a massive source code change ? Appreciate any help on this Regards Mukesh

hello, I have accounts with gmx, aol and 1&1 (ionos). with gmx and aol I can receive and send. but with 1&1 I can only receive. the stunnel log says "SSL_connect: ssl/record/ssl3_record.c:354: error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number". in the log of the mail program there is an "error - Unexpected connection termination. Connection lost." what can I do? here is my configuration. [gmx-pop3] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:110 connect = pop.gmx.net:995 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = pop.gmx.net OCSPaia = yes [gmx-smtp] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:25 connect = mail.gmx.net:465 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = mail.gmx.net OCSPaia = yes [aol-pop3] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:10110 ; protocol = pop3 connect = pop.aol.com:995 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = pop.aol.com OCSPaia = yes [aol-smtp] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:10025 ; protocol = smtp connect = smtp.aol.com:465 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = smtp.aol.com OCSPaia = yes [1und1-pop3] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1110 connect = pop.ionos.de:995 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = pop.ionos.de OCSPaia = yes [1und1-smtp] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1111 connect = smtp.ionos.de:587 verifyChain = yes CAfile = ca-certs.pem checkHost = smtp.ionos.de OCSPaia = yes thank you very much

“latest” alias
by David Richard (CajunD) 16 Jul '23

16 Jul '23

Hi Folks, I have found some older discussions about keeping archives and such, but wanted to ask if you could create an alias that always pointed to the latest version. We were hard-linking to a version in /downloads/ and when version 5.69 was removed a few days ago, some automation on our end broke and (as a result of circumstance) caused an outage while we were trying to fix another problem with a remote dependency. We have altered our script to point to the archive version and added checking to ensure any future problems are handled properly. That being said, we will always want the latest version of your software when we build our machine images. And while you do send an announcement, we have to take additional action on our end to get that new version. A “latest” link would allow us to get the latest version automatically when we perform security updates. Thanks for considering this request. David. --- David Richard cajund(a)gmail.com

securityLevel doesn't work with OpenSSL 3.0
by Yasuhiro Kimura 14 Jul '23

14 Jul '23

Hello, I'd like to use stunnel to acccess SMTP server that has following configuration parameters. Host: smtp.example.org Port number: smtps (465) Encryption method: SMTP over TLS At first I created following configuration file and run stunnel 5.70 with it on FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CApath=/home/yasu/.certs client=yes foreground=yes syslog=no verify=2 [12345] accept=localhost:12345 checkHost=smtp.examle.org connect=smtp.examle.org:465 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- But unfortunately stunnel emits following messages and local-side connection.is closed when I connect to 12345 port of localhost. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2023.07.14 12:29:12 LOG5[0]: Service [12345] accepted connection from ::1:14632 2023.07.14 12:29:12 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 10.0.0.1:465 2023.07.14 12:29:12 LOG5[0]: Service [12345] connected remote server from 192.168.0.1:14633 2023.07.14 12:29:12 LOG5[0]: Certificate accepted at depth=0: C=JP, ST=Tokyo, L=Ohta-Ku, O=EXAMLE.INC, CN=smtp.examle.org 2023.07.14 12:29:12 LOG3[0]: SSL_connect: /usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/t1_lib.c:1146: error:1414D172:SSL routines:tls12_check_peer_sigalg:wrong signature type 2023.07.14 12:29:12 LOG5[0]: Connection closed/reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So I added setting of securityLevel as following. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CApath=/home/yasu/.certs client=yes foreground=yes securityLevel=1 syslog=no verify=2 [12345] accept=localhost:12345 checkHost=smtp.examle.org connect=smtp.examle.org:465 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- And now I can successfully access to STMP server through stunnel. Next, I also tried it on FreeBSD 14-CURRENT and surprisingly stunnel 5.70 emits following messages even if 'securityLevel=1' is specified in configuration file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2023.07.14 12:31:12 LOG5[0]: Service [12345] accepted connection from ::1:10838 2023.07.14 12:31:12 LOG5[0]: s_connect: connected 10.0.0.1:465 2023.07.14 12:31:12 LOG5[0]: Service [12345] connected remote server from 192.168.0.11:41449 2023.07.14 12:31:12 LOG3[0]: SSL_connect: /usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/statem/extensions.c:894: error:0A000152:SSL routines::unsafe legacy renegotiation disabled 2023.07.14 12:31:12 LOG5[0]: Connection closed/reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So I also tried on 2 other platforms. a. Cygwin's stunnel.exe (version 5.69) b. tstunnel.exe installed by useing stunnel-5.69-win64-installer.exe And result is that the former works fine and the latter emits same message as FreeBSD 14-CURRENT. According to these result it seems the failure is related to the version of OpenSSL. That is, while FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE and Cygwin use OpenSSL 1.1.1, FreeBSD 14-CURRENT and stunnel-5.69-win64-installer.exe use OpenSSL 3.0. So does this mean securityLevel option doesn't work with OpenSSL 3.0? Regards. --- Yasuhiro Kimura

Stunnel is not accepting TLS1.1 anymore?
by Bohnig＠gmx.de 13 Jul '23

13 Jul '23

Hi there, i have a problem (maybe with understanding) with stunnel. I'm using the newest version 5.70 but had this also with 5.66 and 5.69. My goal was to access an Exchange server IIS (on port 443, which understands only TLS1.1 and below) with TLS1.2 and upper. I was able to achieve this with the following config --------------------------- debug = 7 output = stunnel.log [Exserver] accept = 441 connect = 442 cert = stunneldd.pem TIMEOUTclose = 0 [Exclient] client = yes accept = 442 connect = 443 --------------------------- stunneldd.pem i made with openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config openssl.cnf -out stunneldd.pem -keyout stunneldd.pem This is working so far. My problem is, stunnel is no longer accepting TLS1.0 and TLS1.1. I need this for some clients which couldn't talk TLS1.2. But why? All infos i could find (and this was days, not hours) are showing that it should work. Even with the added line sllVerison = all or sslVersionMin = TLSv1 sslVersionMax = TLSv1.3 it ws not accepting TLS1 queries. My steps to confirm this: ------------------------- - install stunnel 5.70 - take the config shown above - make a cert with openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config openssl.cnf -out stunneldd.pem -keyout stunneldd.pem - start stunnel - test it with openssl s_client -connect localhost:441 -tls1_1 -debug stunnel log: ------------ 2023.07.13 09:53:04 LOG7[25]: TLS alert (write): fatal: internal error 2023.07.13 09:53:04 LOG3[25]: SSL_accept: ssl/t1_lib.c:3342: error:0A000076:SSL routines::no suitable signature algorithm I'm thinking, that the bind OpenSSL doesn't support TLS1.1 anymore but the [Exclient] which is talking to Port 443 uses TLS1.1. Or has the cert anything to do with it. I think no, because the andshake failed and that is befor the cert is used? What I'm missing? I want stunnel to accept TLs1.0, TLS1.1. TLS1.2 and upwards on the same port. Would be nice if anybody could help me with this? Many thanks.

Default destination folder of stunnel-*-win64-installer.exe
by Yasuhiro Kimura 13 Jul '23

13 Jul '23

Hello, If you install stunnel on Windows with stunnel-*-win64-installer.exe, it installs everything under "C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel" by default. But since it installs 64bit binaries, should default destination folder be "C:\Program Files\stunnel"? Regards.
