I am trying to use stunnel to turn a wss connection into a ws connection because wsServer doesn't support wss. The server is running Ubuntu, and the client I'm using is Chrome, if it matters.
This is my stunnel.conf
file
foreground = yes
debug = info
output = /var/log/stunnel.log
[wsServer]
cert = /etc/letsencrypt/live/myurl.com/fullchain.pem
key = /etc/letsencrypt/live/myurl.com/privkey.pem
accept = 0.0.0.0:8443
connect = 127.0.0.1:8080
I'm trying to connect to it with a javascript call:
const socket = new WebSocket('wss://myurl.com:8433');
But I consistantly get a connection error:
(index):13 WebSocket connection to 'wss://myurl.com:8433/' failed: (anonymous) @ (index):13
Here's what I've checked:
ws://myurl.com:8080
it works fine/var/log/stunnel.log
, although the file was created after I added the output field to the .conf fileAny ideas about what else I can try? Is there some reason the cert that works for https wouldn't work with wss?
Do people recommend using ProxyPass through apache and avoiding stunnel altogether?
Not a solution, but a next troubleshooting step. Get yourself openssl and attempt to connect to 8443. This should spit back the certificate information and at least confirm stunnel is presenting the certificate.
openssl s_client -connect myurl.com:8443
It's been awhile since I configured stunnel, but IIRC you can't put a password on your key.
