^^ Maybe! Tethering is using your phone as a mobile modem so that you can access your laptop internet while out and around using your phone

I need this for windows.

Has anyone confirmed that AT&T is indeed able to track this?? I really want to have the ability to tether (quite often), but don't want to risk any crazy bills?? How can they know if you are tethering or not???

It already exists in windows. It's a simply a proxy server setup. Go to Control Panel->Internet Properties-> LAN settings. Add the IP address of the proxy server on the iphone.

In a nutshell it means "Mess With" or "Bother" or "JimmyRig" lol

In theory they could look at the browser user agent in the request header for any HTTP stuff. They'd be able to see when Firefox is used. Of course it is possible to forge your host header so firefox looks like your iPhone version of Safari......

wow mine works fine after i restart my phone. BTW im TETHERING NOW WOOTTTT

i get a very good connection, better than my phone does most of the time. 1.18 megabit connection i think thats that right name, well 165 kbs

I believe it has something to do with the ports used aswell, for example if u were to sign on to AIM, it would know you are not on the iphone cause the ports used are not normally used on the iphone, i believe you can get caught doing this pretty easy and i think it could get worse than just some outstanding fines, i believe they have the right to terminate your contract

Yes they can & no you won't get crazy bills. More then likely they will disconnect your service after warning (sometimes they don't warn). I've seen WM users get caught using tethering w/out a proper tethering plan & they get caught in a matter of a month or two.

Hmm. Will this only happen with a lot of tethering or even with the slightest amount.

I just want to be able to tether at the coffee joint or at the airport.

[jrivs9719]

how can AT&T tell if u r tethering??????

[mrblader]

does this work with the first gen iphones also...... or just the 3G's

is it the 2.0 software or the phone itself??

[ixbilalxi]

It works with first gen too. Just download 3proxy and run socks in the terminal.

On a pc go to connect to, setup network, setup wireless ad hoc.

Go to this network on the iphone. And make note of the ip.

On pc go to firefox and setup up the proxy. Make sure to do the about:config dns part too.

Then open a page up on the iphone and you should be set.
