everything is ready for the client.
Client side:
All the setup is done, just start iodine. It also takes two
arguments, the first is the local relaying DNS server and the second is the
domain used (tunnel1.mytunnnel.com). If DNS queries are allowed to any
computer, you can use the tunnel endpoint (example: 10.15.213.99 or
tunnel1host.mytunnel.com) as the first argument. The tunnel interface will get
an IP close to the servers (in this case 192.168.99.2) and a suitable MTU.
Enter the same password as on the server either by argument or after the client
has started. Now you should be able to ping the other end of the tunnel from
either side.

and make sure that the relaying DNS server has not cached the response. A
cached error message could mean that you started the client before the server.
The upstream data is sent gzipped encoded with Base32. DNS protocol allows
one query per packet, and one query can be max 256 chars. Each domain name part
can be max 63 chars. So your domain name and subdomain should be as short as
possible to allow maximum throughput.
