Are you sure? The man page says "To use this tunnel, you need control over a real domain (like mytunnel.com), and a server with a static public IP number that does not yet run a DNS server."

There is a previous thread on iodine, here:

Everything is explained there.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the intent; it requires you to have control over a DNS server, but I thought the intention was to use your computer at home as a nstx "nameserver" for a sub-domain of that; for this machine, only an IP is needed. If you run the real nameserver from your home, you'll need two public IPs, one for the real nameserver and one for the nstx "nameserver".

Edit: I guess since you already have a nameserver, you may as well give your home connection a name; I still think it's unnecessary.

Sorry for being unclear. My intent is to connect to the internet from an access point that lets DNS traffic through freely. My network knowledge is a bit sketchy...I wasn't even thinking of subdomains.

Well, this works by establishing a subdomain, with its own nameserver. (To allow you to make "lookups" through that nameserver which will actually get traffic through.)

You need at least two machines, AFAICT, to make this work; one real DNS nameserver, and one machine that you can run the nstx server on.

What I meant was, perhaps I misunderstood which of those machines you're trying to implement on the machine with a static IP at home. If it's the second, it doesn't need an FQDN anywhere in the process, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

You can do with one machine only, with static ip or dyndns domain name, and with the help of freedns.afraid.org - read the thread I reported above.

I've read thriough the thread but the part that is not quite clear to me is what, if any, should be configured on the NAT router behind which is my server is running. I would think you need to do some kind of forwarding.

Well, if you follow the howto I linked to it should be clear.

Here is a port of the NSTX client for Chinook by Austin Che. It probably works also on Diablo.

I personally prefer xname.org but it's just me.
I tested iodine on the tablet with diablo and it works (I compiled the latest version but did't make a package, there's a debian one so it should be possible to just rebuild it)
