Re: Need help setting up new stunnel config
by Mark Foley 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

I think I'm confused here. My objective is for requests sent to port 3389 on the Windows 10 machine to be "validated" by stunnel, then passed on to the service listening on that port. Am I mistaken about what stunnel is supposed to do? If not, what would my config look like to accomplish this? I don't see how changing the RDC port would help. Regardless of what port RDC listens on, it's still going to be used by RDC and therefore I don't see why the 'accept' wouldn't continue to fail. Sorry to be so obtuse on this. I just don't get it and haven't found any examples for stunneling to RDC. --Mark -----Original Message----- From: Michael Curran <mike_curran(a)hotmail.com> To: Mark Foley <mfoley(a)novatec-inc.com>, "stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org" <stunnel-users(a)stunnel.org> Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Re: Need help setting up new stunnel config Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2023 17:39:25 +0000 Mark -- Your full stanza should look like this [dbserver] accept = <some port> connect = 3389 CAfile = stunnel.pem The IP:PORT was a suggestion for the RDC connection string.

Fail to build stunnel 5.70 for windows using xmingw64
by roierachamim＠gmail.com 30 Aug '23

30 Aug '23

Hi, Trying to build stunnel the following warning showed up: network.c: In function 's_read': network.c:737:44: warning: unknown conversion type character 'l' in format [-Wformat=] s_log(LOG_ERR, "s_read: Received %llu out of requested %llu byte(s)", ^ network.c:737:66: warning: unknown conversion type character 'l' in format [-Wformat=] s_log(LOG_ERR, "s_read: Received %llu out of requested %llu byte(s)", ^ network.c:737:24: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args] s_log(LOG_ERR, "s_read: Received %llu out of requested %llu byte(s)", ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And one more of the same kind. I wonder how it didn't happen in the official binaries. Are they being built using the instructions in INSTALL.W32 ? Using xmingw-64 ? Roie

Config stunnel for outgoing mails to Ionos
by a.franken＠management-kommunikation.de 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

In these days, our provider Ionos/1&1 starts to accept only encrypted access to its mail server and at least TLS 1.2. There are no problems with incoming mails. In order to be on the safe side with our Win SBS Server 2008 (no comments please!) with outgoing mails, I now have interposed stunnel as recommended many times on the web. This works in principle. Unfortunate exception: In some cases - expecially if the mail recipient has a Microsoft address like @hotmail.de, @live.de, @outlook.com -, sending aborts with error 503 5.5.2 ("Need mail command"). Unfortunately, I'm quite innocent with SMTP, SSL and certificates, but worked hard to create the following stunnel configuration file: socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=0 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=0 client = yes output = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.log [smtpionos] accept = localhost:465 connect = smtp.ionos.de:465 verifyChain = yes verifyPeer = yes CAfile = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config\amakor2022.pem checkHost = remote.management-kommunikation.de protocolHost = smtp.ionos.de protocolAuthentication = login protocolUsername = OUR_USERNAME protocolPassword = OUR_PASSWORD sslVersionMin = TLSv1.2 sslVersionMax = TLSv1.2 delay = yes protocol = smtp amakor2022.pem is the "PositiveSSL" certificate that we acquired for our subdomain remote.management-kommunikation.de. "Our_Username" and "Our_Password" are of course our correct access data. After spending hours searching the web for a solution, does anyone have a tip what's wrong and what to do?

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
