How to install iodine on EndeavourOS Latest?

Introduction

Iodine is a tool that tunnels IP packets in DNS queries and responses, allowing you to have internet connectivity even when you're behind a restrictive firewall or blocked by censorship. In this tutorial, we'll teach you how to install iodine on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have a running installation of EndeavourOS Latest and an active internet connection.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open up a terminal on your EndeavourOS Latest system by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.

  2. Update the system's package list by typing the following command:

    sudo pacman -Syu
    
  3. Install the iodine package by typing the following command:

    sudo pacman -S iodine
    
  4. Once the installation is complete, you need to set up a server and a client endpoint. Open up two separate terminal windows and switch to the first one.

  5. Start the iodined server by typing the following command:

    sudo iodined -f -c -P "password" 10.0.0.1 tunnel.domain.com
    

    Replace "password" with a password of your choice and tunnel.domain.com with a domain name that you own.

  6. While the server is running, switch to the second terminal window and start the client by typing this command:

    sudo iodine -f -c -P "password" tunnel.domain.com
    

    Replace "password" with the same password that you used in step 5 and tunnel.domain.com with the domain name that you used in step 5.

  7. If the connection is established successfully, you should now have internet connectivity through the tunnel.
