Iodine is a free and open-source DNS tunneling application that allows you to tunnel IPv4 traffic through a DNS server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install iodine on Clear Linux Latest.
Before starting with the installation, ensure that your Clear Linux system is up-to-date using the following command:
sudo swupd update
The first step is to install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-boost
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-gcc
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-mbedtls
Next, download the iodine source code from the official website using the following command:
wget https://code.kryo.se/iodine/iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:
tar -xzf iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz
After extracting the archive, navigate to the directory using the following command:
cd iodine-0.7.0
Next, compile and install iodine using the following commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
This will install iodine on your Clear Linux system.
Now that you have installed iodine, you need to configure and run it. First, create an iodine configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/iodine.conf
In this file, add the following lines:
device = /dev/net/tun
ip = 10.0.0.1
dns = your.dns.server
password = yourPassword
Replace your.dns.server with the DNS server you want to use to tunnel your traffic and yourPassword with a secure password.
Once you have configured iodine, you can start it using the following command:
sudo iodined -c /etc/iodine.conf -f
This will start iodine in the background, and you can now use it to tunnel your IPv4 traffic through the DNS server.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install iodine on Clear Linux Latest. We have also demonstrated how to configure and run iodine to tunnel your IPv4 traffic through a DNS server.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
