Hi Eric, Thanks for the very detailed reply! I had a conversation direct with one of the stunnel devs, she confirmed that there's a bug in the tests and supplied a patch. I guess this will be released in the next version. It only affects the tests, so the current version is fine, as long as you don't try to run the tests during installation.

From: Eric S Eberhard <[email protected]> Sent: 09 July 2018 22:20 To: Ian Bamforth <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: RE: [stunnel-users] Intermittent error in 042_inetd The 50% could be because the server side is not fully updated - we have this problem a lot with very large companies that should know better (and in reality should overlap instead of changing over - meaning allow SSLv3 for 3 months or something while also accepting TLSv2. A very good way to test is to get a telnet program. Then "telnent localhost port#" - the port # being the port number stunnel is running on. This will remove all variables except stunnel and allow you to see the output. It could be you are connecting fine and failing some other authentication like a login - which you can see often with telnet. And set your firewall to not allow telnet on port 23. Also, we have found stunnel MUCH more reliable under inetd (if you are on Unix of course) than as a stand-alone server. A little performance loss that is unnoticeable to us - big customers exchange 2-4 million XML documents a day (using stunnel) so inetd is definitely not the most efficient way, but the machines are so darn fast it seems not to matter. The certificates have become more painful but I have never had to use an official signed one. I make my own with openssl. However, there are intermediate ones that are needed from whomever you connect to if they have a signed certificate - say from Verisign - you may need your certificate and Verisigns, etc - in a chain. I use "cacert" to set to a large file of .pem certificates - which I simply download from the Web (available all over, some work, some don't. When you get one that works ... then use it. You can modify them by adding anything not found in the file. Supposedly the cacert file I have now is good till 2020 for the big names. You can also use openssl to get the certificate from the server - just ask and you shall receive. It should have the entire chain. I used to have on massive cacert for everyone and it was getting out of hand. As tacky as it is, I just make a cacert.pem file for every connection (e.g. Walmart, Fedex, Target, whatever). This allows working connections to keep working while you fiddle with a tricky one.
