How to Install Iodine on Clear Linux Latest

Iodine is a free and open-source DNS tunneling application that allows you to tunnel IPv4 traffic through a DNS server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install iodine on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, ensure that your Clear Linux system is up-to-date using the following command:

sudo swupd update

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-openssl
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-boost
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-gcc
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-mbedtls

Step 2: Download and Extract Iodine

Next, download the iodine source code from the official website using the following command:

wget https://code.kryo.se/iodine/iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:

tar -xzf iodine-0.7.0.tar.gz

Step 3: Compile and Install Iodine

After extracting the archive, navigate to the directory using the following command:

cd iodine-0.7.0

Next, compile and install iodine using the following commands:

./configure
make
sudo make install

This will install iodine on your Clear Linux system.

Step 4: Configure and Run Iodine

Now that you have installed iodine, you need to configure and run it. First, create an iodine configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/iodine.conf

In this file, add the following lines:

device = /dev/net/tun
ip = 10.0.0.1
dns = your.dns.server
password = yourPassword

Replace your.dns.server with the DNS server you want to use to tunnel your traffic and yourPassword with a secure password.

Once you have configured iodine, you can start it using the following command:

sudo iodined -c /etc/iodine.conf -f

This will start iodine in the background, and you can now use it to tunnel your IPv4 traffic through the DNS server.
