.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBstunnel\fR program is designed to work as \fI\s-1TLS\s0\fR encryption wrapper
between remote clients and local (\fIinetd\fR\-startable) or remote
servers. The concept is that having non-TLS aware daemons running on
your system you can easily set them up to communicate with clients over
secure \fI\s-1TLS\s0\fR channels.
.PP
\&\fBstunnel\fR can be used to add \fI\s-1TLS\s0\fR functionality to commonly used \fIInetd\fR
daemons like \s-1POP\-2, POP\-3,\s0 and \s-1IMAP\s0 servers, to standalone daemons like
\&\s-1NNTP, SMTP\s0 and \s-1HTTP,\s0 and in tunneling \s-1PPP\s0 over network sockets without
changes to the source code.

you distinguish \fBstunnel\fR services in your log files.
.PP
Note that if you wish to run \fBstunnel\fR in \fIinetd\fR mode (where it
is provided a network socket by a server such as \fIinetd\fR, \fIxinetd\fR,

This is the directory in which \fBstunnel\fR will look for certificates when using
the \fIverifyChain\fR or \fIverifyPeer\fR options.  Note that the certificates in
this directory should be named \s-1XXXXXXXX.0\s0 where \s-1XXXXXXXX\s0 is the hash value of
the \s-1DER\s0 encoded subject of the cert.
.Sp
The hash algorithm has been changed in \fBOpenSSL 1.0.0\fR.  It is required to

The file must be either in \s-1PEM\s0 or P12 format.
.Sp
A certificate chain is required in server mode, and optional in client mode.

.IX Item "CRLpath = DIRECTORY"
Certificate Revocation Lists directory
.Sp
This is the directory in which \fBstunnel\fR will look for CRLs when using the

.Sp
Currently supported types:
.RS 4
.IP "\fIsequential\fR" 4

The numeric sequential identifier is only unique within a single instance of
\&\fBstunnel\fR, but very compact.  It is most useful for manual log analysis.
.IP "\fIunique\fR" 4

This alphanumeric identifier is globally unique, but longer than the sequential
number.  It is most useful for automated log analysis.
.IP "\fIthread\fR" 4

Level is a one of the syslog level names or numbers
emerg (0), alert (1), crit (2), err (3), warning (4), notice (5),
info (6), or debug (7).  All logs for the specified level and

.SS "\s-1RESTRICTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "RESTRICTIONS"
\&\fBstunnel\fR cannot be used for the \s-1FTP\s0 daemon because of the nature
of the \s-1FTP\s0 protocol which utilizes multiple ports for data transfers.
There are available TLS-enabled versions of \s-1FTP\s0 and telnet daemons, however.
.SS "\s-1INETD MODE\s0"
.IX Subsection "INETD MODE"
The most common use of \fBstunnel\fR is to listen on a network
port and establish communication with either a new port
via the connect option, or a new program via the \fIexec\fR option.
However there is a special case when you wish to have
some other program accept incoming connections and
launch \fBstunnel\fR, for example with \fIinetd\fR, \fIxinetd\fR,
or \fItcpserver\fR.
.PP
For example, if you have the following line in \fIinetd.conf\fR:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    imaps stream tcp nowait root @bindir@/stunnel stunnel @sysconfdir@/stunnel/imaps.conf
.Ve
.PP
In these cases, the \fIinetd\fR\-style program is responsible
for binding a network socket (\fIimaps\fR above) and handing
it to \fBstunnel\fR when a connection is received.
Thus you do not want \fBstunnel\fR to have any \fIaccept\fR option.
All the \fIService Level Options\fR should be placed in the
global options section, and no \fI[service_name]\fR section
will be present.  See the \fI\s-1EXAMPLES\s0\fR section for example
configurations.
.SS "\s-1CERTIFICATES\s0"
.IX Subsection "CERTIFICATES"
Each TLS-enabled daemon needs to present a valid X.509 certificate
to the peer. It also needs a private key to decrypt the incoming
data. The easiest way to obtain a certificate and a key is to
generate them with the free \fBOpenSSL\fR package. You can find more
information on certificates generation on pages listed below.
.PP
The order of contents of the \fI.pem\fR file is important.  It should contain the
unencrypted private key first, then a signed certificate (not certificate
request).  There should also be empty lines after the certificate and the private key.
Any plaintext certificate information appended on the top of generated certificate
should be discarded. So the file should look like this:
.PP
.Vb 8
\&    \-\-\-\-\-BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY\-\-\-\-\-
\&    [encoded key]
\&    \-\-\-\-\-END RSA PRIVATE KEY\-\-\-\-\-
\&    [empty line]
\&    \-\-\-\-\-BEGIN CERTIFICATE\-\-\-\-\-
\&    [encoded certificate]
\&    \-\-\-\-\-END CERTIFICATE\-\-\-\-\-
\&    [empty line]

.SS "\s-1RANDOMNESS\s0"
.IX Subsection "RANDOMNESS"
\&\fBstunnel\fR needs to seed the \s-1PRNG \s0(pseudo-random number generator) in
order for \s-1TLS\s0 to use good randomness.  The following sources are loaded
in order until sufficient random data has been gathered:
.IP "\(bu" 4
The file specified with the \fIRNDfile\fR flag.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The file specified by the \s-1RANDFILE\s0 environment variable, if set.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The file .rnd in your home directory, if \s-1RANDFILE\s0 not set.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The file specified with '\-\-with\-random' at compile time.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The contents of the screen if running on Windows.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The egd socket specified with the \fI\s-1EGD\s0\fR flag.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The egd socket specified with '\-\-with\-egd\-sock' at compile time.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The /dev/urandom device.
.PP
Note that on Windows machines that do not have console user interaction
(mouse movements, creating windows, etc.) the screen contents are not
variable enough to be sufficient, and you should provide a random file
for use with the \fIRNDfile\fR flag.
.PP
Note that the file specified with the \fIRNDfile\fR flag should contain
random data \*(-- that means it should contain different information
each time \fBstunnel\fR is run.  This is handled automatically
unless the \fIRNDoverwrite\fR flag is used.  If you wish to update this file
manually, the \fIopenssl rand\fR command in recent versions of \fBOpenSSL\fR,
would be useful.
.PP
Important note: If /dev/urandom is available, \fBOpenSSL\fR often seeds the \s-1PRNG\s0
with it while checking the random state.  On systems with /dev/urandom
\&\fBOpenSSL\fR is likely to use it even though it is listed at the very bottom of
the list above.  This is the behaviour of \fBOpenSSL\fR and not \fBstunnel\fR.
.SS "\s-1DH PARAMETERS\s0"
.IX Subsection "DH PARAMETERS"
\&\fBstunnel\fR 4.40 and later contains hardcoded 2048\-bit \s-1DH\s0 parameters.  Starting
with \fBstunnel\fR 5.18, these hardcoded \s-1DH\s0 parameters are replaced every 24 hours
with autogenerated temporary \s-1DH\s0 parameters.  \s-1DH\s0 parameter generation may take
several minutes.
.PP
Alternatively, it is possible to specify static \s-1DH\s0 parameters in the
certificate file, which disables generating temporary \s-1DH\s0 parameters:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    openssl dhparam 2048 >> stunnel.pem
