Iodine is a tool to tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS server. It allows users to bypass firewalls and access blocked content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Iodine on Linux Mint Latest.
Before starting the installation process, update the system to ensure that all system packages are up to date. To update, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
In order to build and install Iodine, you need to have the build-essential package installed. To install it, run the following command:
sudo apt install build-essential
You can download the latest version of Iodine from its official website at iodine/">https://code.kryo.se/iodine/. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download it directly to your system:
wget https://code.kryo.se/iodine/iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz
Extract the tarball using the following command:
tar -zxvf iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz
In this step, you will compile and install Iodine. Change into the extracted directory and run the following commands:
cd iodine-0.7.0
./configure
make
sudo make install
Before starting Iodine, you need to configure it. Create a file named "iodine.conf" in the /etc directory with the following content:
tun_device=tun0
password=your_password
Replace "your_password" with a strong password.
You can now start Iodine by running the following command:
sudo iodined -f -c /etc/iodine.conf your_server_ip your_domain_name
Replace "your_server_ip" with the IP address of your server and "your_domain_name" with your domain name.
You have successfully installed and configured Iodine on Linux Mint Latest. You can now use Iodine to tunnel IPv4 data 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!
