- Q-37: Can I prompt the user at the local X display whether the
+ Q-37: How can I tunnel my connection to x11vnc via an encrypted SSL
+ channel using a tool like stunnel?
+
+ It is possible to use a "lighter weight" encryption setup than SSH or
+ IPSEC. SSL tunnels such as [293]stunnel provide an encrypted channel
+ without the need for users, passwords, and key passphrases required
+ for ssh. OTOH, since ssh is usually installed everywhere and firewalls
+ often let its port through, ssh is often the path of least resistance.
+
+ Here are some basic examples using [294]stunnel but the general idea
+ is the same:
+ * Start up x11vnc and constrain it to listen on localhost.
+ * Then start up the SSL tunnel running on the same machine to
+ forward incoming connections to that x11vnc.
+
+ (in fact, as of Feb/2006 the [295]-stunnel option does these two steps
+ [296]automatically). Then on the VNC viewer side:
+ * Set up and run a similar SSL tunnel for the outgoing connection
+ pointing to the SSL/x11vnc server.
+ * Finally, start the VNC Viewer and tell it to connect to the local
+ port (e.g. a vnc display localhost:0).
+
+ We'll first use the stunnel version 3 syntax since it is the most
+ concise and unixy. Start up x11vnc listening on port 5900:
+ x11vnc -display :0 -rfbport 5900 -localhost -bg -passwdfile ~/mypass
+
+ Then start stunnel with this command:
+ stunnel -d 5901 -r 5900 -p /path/to/stunnel.pem
+
+ These are run on host "far-away.east". The stunnel.pem is the
+ self-signed PEM file certificate created when stunnel is built.
+
+ Next, on the VNC viewer side we need an SSL tunnel to encrypt the
+ outgoing connection. The nice thing is any SSL tunnel can be used
+ because the protocol is a standard. For this example we'll also use
+ stunnel on the viewer side on Unix. First start up the client-side
+ stunnel:
+ stunnel -c -d localhost:5902 -r far-away.east:5901
+
+ Then point the viewer to the local tunnel on port 5902:
+ vncviewer -encodings "copyrect tight zrle hextile" localhost:2
+
+ That's it.
+
+ Be sure to use a VNC password because unlike ssh by default the
+ encrypted SSL channel provides no authentication (only privacy). With
+ some extra configuration one could also set up certificates to provide
+ authentication of either or both sides as well (and hence avoid
+ man-in-the-middle attacks). See the stunnel and openssl documentation
+ for details.
+
+ stunnel has also been ported to Windows, and there are likely others
+ to choose from for that OS. Much info for using it on Windows can be
+ found at the stunnel site and in this [297]article The article also
+ shows the many steps to set up all the authentication certificates.
+ The default Windows client setup (no certs) is simpler and only 4
+ files are needed in a folder: stunnel.exe, stunnel.conf, libssl32.dll,
+ libeay32.dll. We used an stunnel.conf containing:
+# stunnel.conf:
+client = yes
+options = ALL
+[myvncssl]
+accept = 5902
+connect = far-away.east:5901
+
+ then double click on the stunnel.exe icon to launch it (followed by
+ pointing the VNC viewer to localhost:2).
+
+
+
+ As of Feb/2006 the x11vnc [298]-stunnel option automates the SSL
+ tunnel creation on the x11vnc server side:
+ x11vnc -display :0 -stunnel /path/to/stunnel.pem -passwdfile ~/mypass
+
+ You'll get output like this:
+ The VNC desktop is localhost:50
+ The SSL VNC desktop is far-away.east:0
+ PORT=5950
+ SSLPORT=5900
+
+ That indicates stunnel is listening on port 5900 for incoming
+ SSL-wrapped VNC connections. x11vnc is listening for local connections
+ on port 5950 in this case. For -stunnel to work stunnel must be
+ installed on the machine and available in PATH (note stunnel is often
+ installed in sbin directories rather than bin).
+
+ One can test to some degree that SSL is working after starting x11vnc
+ with the -stunnel option. From another machine one can use the openssl
+ command something like this:
+ openssl s_client -debug -msg -showcerts -connect far-away.east:5900
+
+ After all of the debugging output and informational messages you'll
+ see the string "RFB 003.007" that came from x11vnc. Or you can even
+ just use a web browser connecting to: https://far-away.east:5900/ and
+ then view the SSL information about the connection in the panels. (Of
+ course these tests will also work if you started stunnel manually).
+
+ (end of the -stunnel option description).
+
+
+ If you don't like the little "gap" of unencrypted TCP traffic (and a
+ local listening socket) on the local machine between stunnel and
+ x11vnc it can actually be closed by having stunnel start up x11vnc in
+ [299]-inetd mode:
+ stunnel -p /path/to/stunnel.pem -P none -d 5900 -l ./x11vnc_sh
+
+ Where the script x11vnc_sh starts up x11vnc:
+#!/bin/sh
+x11vnc -q -inetd -display :0 -passwdfile ~/mypass
+
+ Note that this creates a separate x11vnc process for each incoming
+ connection (as any inetd x11vnc usage would), but for the case of
+ normally just one viewer at a time it should not be a big problem.
+
+ Somewhat sadly, the stunnel version 4 syntax is not so amenable to the
+ command line or scripts. You need to create a config file with the
+ parameters. E.g.:
+ stunnel x11vnc.cfg
+
+ Where the file x11vnc.cfg contains:
+foreground = yes
+pid =
+cert = /path/to/stunnel.pem
+[x11vnc_stunnel]
+accept = 5901
+connect = 5900
+
+ One nice thing about version 4 is often the PEM file does not need to
+ be specified because stunnel finds it in its installed area. One other
+ gotcha the the PEM file is usually only readable by root (it has the
+ private key afterall), so you'll need to relax the permissions or make
+ a copy that the user running x11vnc/stunnel can read.
+
+ Regarding VNC viewers that "natively" do SSL unfortunately there do
+ not seem to be many. UltraVNC has SSL/encryption plugin, but we have
+ not tried it. Commercial versions of VNC seem to have some SSL built
+ in, but we haven't tried those either and they probably wouldn't work
+ since the SSL negotiation is likely embedded in the VNC protocol
+ unlike our case where it is external. So current SSL VNC solutions are
+ not particularly "seemless". But it can be done, and with a wrapper
+ script on the viewer side and the [300]-stunnel option on the server
+ side it works well and is convenient. Here is a simple script
+ [301]ssl_vncviewer that automates running stunnel on the VNC viewer
+ side on Unix a little more carefully than the two-lines printed above.
+ One could probably do a similar thing with a .BAT file on Windows in
