How to Install Iodine on NetBSD

Iodine is a tool for tunneling IPv4 data through a DNS server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Iodine on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

• A NetBSD machine with root access
• Internet connection

Step 1 - Download Iodine

First, download the latest version of Iodine from the official website.

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ ftp https://code.kryo.se/iodine/iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz

Step 2 - Extract and Compile

Next, extract the Iodine archive and compile it.

$ tar -xzvf iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz
$ cd iodine-0.7.0
$ make

Step 3 - Install Iodine

After compiling, install Iodine.

$ make install

Step 4 - Configure Iodine

Create a configuration file for Iodine. You can use the default configuration file as a starting point.

$ cp /usr/local/share/examples/iodine/iodine.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/iodine.conf

Edit the configuration file and set the desired options. For example, if you want to use the domain name "example.com" to tunnel your traffic, add the following line to the configuration file:

domain = example.com

Save the configuration file and exit.

Step 5 - Run Iodine

Start the Iodine server.

$ iodined -f /usr/local/etc/iodine.conf

Iodine is now running on your NetBSD machine. You can now use it to tunnel your IPv4 traffic through a DNS server.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Iodine on NetBSD. Iodine is a powerful tool for tunneling IPv4 data through a DNS server, and it can be used to bypass firewalls and other network restrictions.
