Just a quick tip on setting up stunnel in transparent proxy mode (ie. target
service sees original source IP address) pointing at services running on
localhost. (mostly based on sslh
documentation)
Use the following iptables/sysctl rules:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
# Set route_localnet = 1 on all interfaces so that ssl can use "localhost" as
# destination
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.route_localnet=1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.route_localnet=1
# DROP martian packets as they would have been if route_localnet was zero
# Note: packets not leaving the server aren't affected by this, thus sslh/stunnel will
# still work
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING ! -i lo -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j DROP
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING ! -o lo -s 127.0.0.0/8 -j DROP
# Mark all connections made by ssl for special treatment (here stunnel connects to 127.1.1.1)
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 127.1.1.1 -p tcp --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -j CONNMARK --set-xmark 0x01/0x0f
# Outgoing packets that should go to sslh/stunnel instead have to be rerouted, so mark
# them accordingly (copying over the connection mark)
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT ! -o lo -p tcp -m connmark --mark 0x01/0x0f -j CONNMARK --restore-mark --mask 0x0f
# Configure routing for those marked packets
ip rule add fwmark 0x1 lookup 100
ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100
...and following configuration options:
[myservice]
accept = 443
connect = 127.1.1.1:1234
transparent = source
key = ...
cert = ...
