Iodine is a free, open-source tool that enables you to tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install iodine on macOS.
Homebrew is a package manager that allows you to install and manage software packages on your macOS. To install Homebrew, open the Terminal by pressing Command+Spacebar and typing Terminal, then pressing Enter. In the Terminal window, type the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
This command installs Homebrew on your macOS.
Once Homebrew is installed, you can use it to install iodine. To do so, run the following command:
brew install iodine
This command downloads the iodine package from the official repository and installs it on your macOS.
To configure iodine, you will need to run it with the following command:
sudo iodine -f -P <password> <domain>
Replace <password> with a password of your choice and <domain> with a domain name that you own.
Once iodine is configured, you can test it by running the following command:
sudo iodine -c <domain>
This command connects to the iodine server running on the specified domain.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed iodine on your macOS. You can now use it 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
