Stunnel & Gmail security
by BOXI31 TEST 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hi all, To make "Stunnel 5.31" work with Gmail, I have to go in security settings of Gmail and "allow less secure apps to access my account". Is it mandatory ? Is it possible to set Stunnel to access Gmail without lowering it security level ? How ? I checked in log file TLS v1.2 is used by Stunnel but Gmail still consider it as a "less secure app." ! Regards, Steve

How to distinguish stunnel definition between SMTP through SSL-TLS vs. STARTTLS?
by Ben Stover 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

As yyou know there are two types of letting a local email client connect to remote secured SMTP server: 1.) through SSL-TLS and 2.) through STARTTLS How do I distinguish betwen these connection types in the stunnel.conf setup file? In a previous post I was told to look at the "protocol" parameter. Ok, if I specify protocol=smtp what does that mean: "Connect through SSL-TLS protocol" or "connect through STARTTLS protocol"? It seems to me that I ALWAYS have to specify "protocol=smtp" for ALL smtp-server connects. The stunnel documentation does not explain how to setup the *.conf file for each of the variants. Is this done only by port number 465 vs 587? That would mean there is a hidden configuration by convention! What if the webhoster would set up a special mail server at port 8888? Ben

stunnel and TLS1.2 for IE
by Thomas GMX 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

Hello. I have successfully configured my email client (Outlook 2010) to my provider with TLS1.2 via stunnel running as a service. config: debug = 5 engine = capi [freenet-pop3s] client = yes EngineID = capi accept = localhost:2110 connect = mx.freenet.de:995 [freenet-smpts] client = yes EngineID = capi accept = localhost:2025 connect = mx.freenet.de:465 That was no problem. But at this point I am wondering if it is possible and how I can configure stunnel so that "all" https traffic from Internet Explorer is going through stunnel and connect to internet with highest secure level supported. Not only to one specific server (connect = xyz.net) but to all servers given in IE address. By now I guess that I have to set IE so that it uses a https-proxy at "localhost:xxx" with stunnel config "accept = localhost:xxx". But how is stunnel config for "connect x.x.x.x:443" that it connect to the right server in internet I specified in IE address line? Can someone give me a hint? Or impossible? Thanks a lot Thomas

Connection setup for STARTTLS vs. SSL/TLS for POP3/SMTP mail servers?
by Ben Stover 20 Oct '17

20 Oct '17

In stunnels *.conf file I can specify the mail server name and the port for a connection. How can I tell stunnel to use STARTTLS as connect type? How can I tell stunnel to use SSL/TLS as connect type? Does stunnel support both connect types at all or only one? Is the connect type for SMTP completely determined by port e.g.: STARTTLS over port 587 and SSL/TLS over port 465 or can both connect types use both ports? Assume I do not get the supported connect type information from my webhoster: How can I find it out from my (client) side? What are there error messages? Ben

Stunnel on Android 7.x not working?
by John Appleseed 14 Oct '17

14 Oct '17

Hello, I have trouble with stunnel on Android 7.x.. I'm trying to connect to OpenVPN server through SSL tunneling with stunnel. On phone I'm using stunnel installed in Termux and OpenVPN. Everything is correctly configured, Im using the same config on other devices in same network and it works perfectly. I tried it with different devices with Android 7.x and it is not working at all :( Immediately after succesful connection I am receiving: TLS fd: Software caused connection abort (103) TLS socket closed (SSL_read) And it is still reconnecting again and again with the same error. I also tried it with stunnel downloaded directly from stunnel.org site.. Anyone with new Android who have working stunnel? Where can be the problem? Example stunnel.conf on Android: socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = debug [openvpn] client = yes accept = 1337 connect = *****.ddns.net:993 cert = /path/to/stunnel.pem and on server: chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4 pid = /stunnel.pid output = /stunnel.log setuid = stunnel4 setgid = stunnel4 socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [openvpn] client = no accept = 993 connect = 127.0.0.1:1194 cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem Example stunnel.log is in attachment. Thank you very much

No certificate or private key specified
by Hugo Darley 12 Oct '17

Hi, After overcoming some initial more obvious problems I have still been unable to get this client's stunnel configured correctly. "No certificate or private key specified" - is this significant?

User has recently installed v5.4.2 on a windows machine and gets this error: [cid:[email protected]] Downloaded the .exe file from the website, installed into a D: drive folder (not the C: program files x86 folder), edited the config file to what we have advised countless users in the past and added the verisign crt to the same folder. Has reinstalled a couple of times to no avail. I have searched on the net for help but nothing specific to STunnel. Can anyone advise?
