Hi,

I'm trying to setup yet another service of this kind. I've seen this has 
been largely discussed several times on this list (but without valid 
solutions), and I'm writting this email as some kind of last resort 
after hours of testing and debugging.

Pretty simple configuration:

# cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
cert = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel4/my-cert.crt
key = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel4/my-cert.key

sslVersion = SSLv3
foreground = yes
pid = /tmp/stunnel4.pid

socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1
socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1

debug = 7
output = /var/log/stunnel.log

[service]
accept  = 195.78.X.X:6697
connect = 195.78.X.X:1357
transparent = source

Accept and connect IP's are the same.

Global options:
debug                  = daemon.notice
pid                    = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid
RNDbytes               = 64
RNDfile                = /dev/urandom
RNDoverwrite           = yes

Service-level options:
ciphers                = ALL:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!EXP:!LOW:-MEDIUM:RC4:+HIGH
curve                  = prime256v1
sessionCacheSize       = 1000
sessionCacheTimeout    = 300 seconds
sslVersion             = TLSv1 for client, all for server
stack                  = 65536 bytes
TIMEOUTbusy            = 300 seconds
TIMEOUTclose           = 60 seconds
TIMEOUTconnect         = 10 seconds
TIMEOUTidle            = 43200 seconds
verify                 = none

     IP_FREEBIND     |    --    |    --    |    --    |        no

And the timeout, the same I've seen suffering to other people:

iptables stuff and that, is in place:

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter
0
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1

And did the iptables part:

iptables -t mangle -N DIVERT
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT
iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1
iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT
ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100
ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100

Debugging the whole thing, it can be seen that stunnel tries to connect:

[pid 16823] connect(9, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1357), 
sin_addr=inet_addr("195.78.X.X")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now 
in progress)

BUT the service running in 1357 does this:

# tcpdump -i eth1 -n port 1357
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
19:52:52.586773 IP 195.78.X.X.1357 > MY_HOME_ADDRESS.34853: Flags [S.], 
seq 2655966098, ack 546202865, win 5840, options [mss 
1460,nop,nop,sackOK], length 0

And, according to that, it looks obvious to me that this setup will 
never work, since that ACK packet goes to my home box, and not to the 
local connection.

So either I'm doing something wrong (I hope I am!!) or this thing 
definitely doesn't work...

Any help/ideas/whatever, please?

Thanks,

Rubén.
