Hey everyone!
I made a simple Mac Applescript application to create and set up an Ad-Hoc SOCKS Proxy network to tether your iPhone. It's really basic and I've included the source code. Feel free to check it out, make modifications, comment, ask questions, or correct any bugs. Here's the code:
This script was designed for use with the application "iRandomizer Numbers" an iOS tethering app that's still in the App Store (Get it while it lasts).
While you still have to connect to the network, enter the WEP Password, and set up the static IP address on the iPhone, this script saves a lot of time setting up the Mac side.
To use:
1. Run the script
2. Connect to the "Tethering" Wi-Fi network on your iPhone/iPad
3. Enter the passcode: 1234567890
4. Set the static IP Address on your iPhone to 13.37.13.37 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
5. Finally, run iRandomizer Numbers (or your tethering app of choice)
6. Enjoy!
Thanks!
