🪟 Windows Installation

Step 1 – Register the Machine

Open PowerShell as Administrator and run the following (copy the command in your installation tab):

Replace the example values with your actual details.

$apiBase = "https://shield.iceline-hosting.com"
$tunnelId = 61
$installToken = "0xxx0xx0-xX00-xxxX-0xx0-000x0x0xxx00"
$remoteName = "client-windows"
$remoteIp = "YOUR_PUBLIC_IP"

$body = @{
  tunnel_id     = $tunnelId
  install_token = $installToken
  remote_name   = $remoteName
  remote_ip     = $remoteIp
  remote_os     = "windows"
} | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$apiBase/api/tunnel/backend/register" -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType "application/json"

This step registers your Windows machine with Iceline Shield.

Step 2 – Download GRE Tunnel Client

Download the latest release of GRETunnel.exe from:

GitHub
Repository: GRE Tunnel

After downloading:

1. Extract the ZIP file.

2. Open the extracted folder.

3. In the address bar, type cmd and press Enter to open Command Prompt directly inside the folder

Step 3 – Start the Tunnel

Run the following command:

GRETunnel.exe TUNNEL_IP PUBLIC_IP 10.10.10.2 10.10.10.1 30

Replace:

TUNNEL_IP → Your assigned tunnel IP

PUBLIC_IP → Your VPS public IP

This command:

• Establishes the GRE tunnel
• Routes protected traffic
• Activates DDoS protection

Optional – Auto-Start on Reboot (Recommended)

To simplify startup after a VPS reboot:

1. Create a new Notepad file.

2. Paste the GRE command inside.

3. Save it as a .bat file (example: start_tunnel.bat).

4. Place it in:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

This ensures the tunnel starts automatically when Windows boots.
