Iodine is a command-line tool that allows you to tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS server. In order to use iodine, you'll need to install it on your Windows 11 machine. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing iodine on Windows 11:
The first step to installing iodine is to download the software. You can download the latest version of iodine from the official website: https://code.kryo.se/iodine/. Once you've reached the website, locate the appropriate version for your Windows 11 machine and save the file to your computer.
After downloading the file, you'll need to extract it to a location on your hard drive. To do this, navigate to the location where you downloaded the file and right-click on it. Select "Extract All" and follow the prompts to extract the files to a location of your choice.
In order to use iodine, you'll need to install the TUN/TAP driver on your Windows 11 machine. You can download the driver from the OpenVPN website here: https://tinc-vpn.org/drivers/. Once downloaded, locate the installer file and run it. Follow the prompts to install the driver on your machine.
Now that you have the TUN/TAP driver installed, you're ready to install iodine. To do this, open a Command Prompt (press Windows + R, type "cmd", and hit Enter), and navigate to the directory where you extracted the iodine files (use the "cd" command to change directories).
Once you're in the directory, type the following command:
iodine.exe -T dns.example.com password
Be sure to replace "dns.example.com" with the DNS server that you'll be using for the tunnel, and "password" with the password that you've chosen to use for the tunnel.
After running the command, iodine should start up and create a new tunnel interface on your Windows 11 machine. To test the tunnel, open a web browser and try to access a website. If everything is working correctly, your traffic will be routed through the DNS server that you specified in the command.
Congratulations, you've successfully installed and set up iodine on your Windows 11 machine!
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!
