Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Update your system's package list by opening a terminal window and typing the command:

cd iodine-0.7.0

7. Build and install Iodine:

./configure && make && sudo make install

8. After the installation is complete, verify that the installation was successful by running the following command:

iodine -v

9. Iodine is now installed on your POP! OS latest. To use Iodine, you will need a remote DNS server to tunnel your data through. To start using Iodine, type the following command:

sudo iodine -P MySecretPassword tunneled.tld

Replace "MySecretPassword" with a password of your choosing and "tunneled.tld" with your domain name.

10. You can now connect to the remote DNS server by starting Iodine on your client machine:

sudo iodine -P MySecretPassword tunneled.tld

11. To stop Iodine, type:

sudo killall iodine
