Iodine is a tool used for tunneling IPv4 data through a DNS server. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install iodine on FreeBSD Latest.
Start by updating the FreeBSD package repository:
pkg update
Install iodine using the following command:
pkg install iodine
Once the installation is complete, you can verify the version of iodine installed using the following command:
iodine -v
Now, we need to create a new configuration file for iodine. Navigate to the /usr/local/etc
directory and create a new file called iodine.conf
:
cd /usr/local/etc
touch iodine.conf
Open the iodine.conf
file using your favorite editor and add the following lines:
# DNS server IP address
dns=8.8.8.8
# Iodine tunnel IP and subnet
tundev="tun0"
subnet="192.168.10.0/24"
Replace the DNS server IP address with the IP address of your DNS server. Also, make sure to use an unused subnet for iodine.
Now, start the iodine server using the following command:
iodined -c -f /usr/local/etc/iodine.conf
This command will start the iodine server in the background, using the configuration file we just created.
Once the server is running, you can connect to the iodine tunnel from a client machine using the following command:
iodine -f -P PASSWORD <SERVER-IP> mytunnel.com
Replace PASSWORD
with the password you want to use, SERVER-IP
with the IP address of your server, and mytunnel.com
with the domain name used in the iodine.conf
file.
You should now be able to access the internet through the iodine tunnel.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured iodine on FreeBSD Latest!
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!
