Convert your iPhone 3G as modem for windows or mac
Nate True has posted an interesting tutotial at creations.net on how to “tether” your iPhone 3G and use its Internet connection on your laptop. It is possible to use the iPhone 3G as a modem for your windows or Mac by Jailbreaking it and installing 3Proxy.
Here is the outline:
- Jailbreak your iPhone 3G
- Install 3Proxy and Terminal
- Create an ad-hoc Wi-fi network using your laptop
- Join the network with your iPhone
- Find the iPhone’s IP address
- Open Terminal and run the proxy program
- Open Safari on your iPhone and open a web page
- Configure your browser to use the proxy
Tethering your iPhone is against the iPhone data plan terms. AT&T could slap you with huge fees if you overuse this. I recommend only using it during emergencies.This applies to users anywhere around the world too. Beware of your usage or you may endup paying more.
