Hi All
I'm a relative newbie to Stunnel, and am trying to set up a tunnel so I can Remote Desktop from work to my PC/server at home.
I'm using versions 4.05 & 4.06 of the Windows binaries.
A Microsoft Proxy Server v2.0 is used at work, and it proxies HTTP, Secure (is that SSL/port 443??), FTP and Gopher over port 800. I'm not sure if it proxies Socks, as there's no entry for it in Internet Explorer.
I've tested the configuration and it works on my LAN, and it works from home when I enter my domain home (so my firewall is set up correctly).
My config is as follows:
#Client CAfile = stunnel.pem cert = stunnel.pem client = yes verify = 3 [rdp-80] accept = localhost:3390 connect = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
#Server CAfile = stunnel.pem cert = stunnel.pem client = yes verify = 3 [rdp-80] accept = 192.168.10.221:80 connect = 127.0.0.1:3389
Is there something I need to do to traverse this proxy? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tks,
Michael Blake

sorry about that - it's a typo (i sent the e-mail from work, and used the client stunnel.conf as a template).
the server stunnel.conf doesn't have it...
the server stunnel.conf is: CAfile = stunnel.pem verify = 3 output=C:\Servers\Stunnel\log.txt [rdp-80] accept = 192.168.10.221:80 connect = 127.0.0.1:3389
client stunnel.conf: CAfile = stunnel.pem cert = stunnel.pem client = yes verify = 3 [rdp-80] accept = localhost:3390 connect = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 (i tried port 800 too, but it also didn't work)
Should I be sending the packets out over the proxy port 800, or the standard http port of 80? I'm not sure how proxies work, and don't know whether you send packets to port 800, and the proxy then sends them out on 80, or whether you can send them to port 80, and the proxy picks them up and sends them out on 80...??
I've read somewhere that proxies can examine packets and discard them based on their content, but these are ssl encrypted packets, and I wouldn't expect MS Proxy server 2.0 to be that advanced anyway!! When stunnel sends packets, does it send from the same port that it's sending to, eg 80 -> 80, or does it send to from a different port, eg 1305 -> 80. If the latter is the case, then maybe the proxy is set to discard packets from such ports?
Any help would be great. Many thanks,
Michael
