F.A.Q.s / Re: Portable sHFS : HFS via Stunnel with configuration GUI [english]
« on: January 29, 2011, 10:50:07 PM »
Hi
As usually, I check each wikis, documentations and tuts before applying an update to this GUI, in order to verify if changes are needed in my source code. This time I found a well documented HFS-Stunnel thing on the HFS' wiki, that's nice, but I also notice that no reference to this GUI was there.
The first question coming to my head was "Why didn't he puts a link to this GUI ?",
"Is this too much of a mess ?",
"Is this a security-trust problem ?".
If someone have a clue on this, an idea on how I can enhance this GUI to better fits newbie usage, I'm all ears opened ^^'.
edit : last minute update without version change, it was about the random.rnd file (you can check if you've got the last version with MD5 checksums).
Quote from: v0.7 changelog
- random.rnd is now correctly re-created at each Stunnel/HFS start.
- small language change in order to use the correct HFS's EXE file depending on current Windows' language code (before only take good EXE on fr-fr and en-us, now will take the good one on all fr-?? systems).
- Added OpenSSL icon in 'about' tab and change the URL linked related to below changes.
- OpenSSL DLLs and EXE files are now taken from Stunnel mirrors, as DLLs are the exact same files as those supplied with Stunnel :
- move VC++ files in stunnel folder,
- delete openssl folder which contains openssl.exe and 3 cryptographic DLLs,
- openssl.exe is now under stunnel folder.
It uses now the same DLLs to create the key with OpenSSL, and to use them with Stunnel (before, keys and certificates where create with slrproweb files and used with Stunnel crypto files).
I believe this should improve stability of HFS-Stunnel usage.
- update from Stunnel 4.33 to 4.35b1
- update from OpenSSL 1.0.0a to 1.0.0c
- update from HFS 2.3 #266 EN/FR to 2.3 #273a(FR) and 2.3 #273(EN)
