Just returning to say I’ve now jailbroken my mobile phone, installed PdaNet, and it works. The simple way… I must add that tethering is the only reason why i eventually did jail break it. Just so Apple doesn’t come to me and complain, should they, one day

bah the ip address didn’t show because i had it contained in left and right arrows… step 4 should say “ssh -ND 22 root@169.254.21.38” ( replace 169…38 with whatever your iphones wifi ip address is )

Also, im not able to figure out a way to get windows to use this proxy for ALL internet connections, which would be ideal as fuck… anybody got a clue as to how to do that?

Thanks,

Guys, you don’t need any extra programs to achieve this functionality. If you have a jailbroken iphone, here is what you do on windows ( although the same can almost certainly be done on a mac ):

1. Create adhoc wireless network, call it anything you like, lets say “modem”
2. Connect iphones wifi to this adhoc network, “modem”
3. Run ssh server on iphone
4. Open an ssh tunnel to the iphone ala “ssh -ND 22 root@”
5. After typing the password, it will appear that the ssh window is hung… that is GOOD!
6. Minimize that ssh window, and now open firefox, pidgin, etc….
7. In the program you’re using, go to the connection settings, and choose the SOCKS 5 proxy with localhost as the proxy server and 22 as the proxy port.
8. Thats it! Now you are successfully tethering your internet connection.

I came up with these instructions after noticing that there was a jailbroken app, IPhoneModem, that works in conjunction with the mac app, IPhoneModem…. seeing as how i don’t own a mac, i set out to figure out what IPhoneModem is doing under the hood… its not exactly the same, but i prefer this method, because no extra software needs to be installed.

FYI: This drains battery BIG TIME… i was surfing for maybe 2 hours on a full battery and it was pretty much dead afterwards… thats what happens when you are using 3G, SSH, and WIFI all simultaneously

i know my carrier lets you do the tethering, infact it encourages it, since they get more money. AT&T are dumb asses

I heard here in Canada from the Rogers provider that if they find out that you are using their data plan for anything other than the iphone (and the guy I spoke with claims they can do it), they will charge you $0.05/kb (i.e., $50,000/Gig)… I doubt there is any country out there worse than Canada… Apple is not innocent either; they make lucrative deals to give companies monopolies over distributing their product which of course these companies then abuse to their advantage. Apple is the perpetrator of all this. They are hardly good guys. Unfortunately they just make desirable hardware that we must buy, must buy, must buy…
