Iodine is an open-source tool that allows users to tunnel IP traffic through a DNS server. This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Iodine on MXLinux.
Before starting this tutorial, you will need to have the following:
Before installing Iodine, you need to update the package repository. Open up the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
With the package repository updated, you can now install Iodine. Use the following command in your terminal to install Iodine:
sudo apt-get install iodine
Once installed, you need to configure the Iodine server before you can start using it. To do this, you need to edit the Iodine configuration file by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo nano /etc/iodine/iodine.conf
In the configuration file, you need to specify the IP address of the DNS server and the domain name of the Iodine server. You can use the following configuration:
#IP address of DNS Server
dns=8.8.8.8
#Domain name of Iodine Server
topdomain=example.com
After editing the configuration file, save and close it, then start the Iodine server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start iodined
Once the Iodine server is running, you can connect to the Iodine tunnel using Iodine client on your local machine. To install the Iodine client, open up a terminal on your local machine and run the following command:
brew install iodine
sudo apt-get install iodine
After installing the Iodine client, you can connect to the Iodine tunnel using the following command:
sudo iodine -P PASSWORD -f -c -m 1400 domain.com
Note: replace domain.com with the domain name of your Iodine server and PASSWORD with the password you want to use for authentication.
In conclusion, setting up and using Iodine on MXLinux is a straightforward process. By following this guide, you should now be able to tunnel IP traffic through a DNS server using Iodine on MXLinux.
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!
