NetShare Tethering App Reappears on App Store

MacRumors · Aug 1, 2008, 02:25 PM

After an unusual sequence of events, Nullriver, Inc.'s NetShare app has reappeared on the iTunes App Store.

The $9.99 application promises to allow you to share your iPhone's network connection with your computer.

Quote:

Share your iPhone's EDGE or 3G Internet connection with your computer using NetShare. NetShare provides a SOCKS5 proxy for your computer to connect to.

The application appeared briefly last night but was pulled for unknown reasons. Note that the tethering application does not appear to work with all traffic (such as AIM or even mail), but does work for web browsing.

Get it now before it gets taken back down by Apple/AT&T?

mrtravel123 · Aug 1, 2008, 02:26 PM

IF this tethering works... maybe I should reconsider the 3G iPhone! I'd love to get rid of my home DSL... and go with just tethering for my MB's internet access. Then again, I'll wait to see if this really works, is easy, has good speeds, etc.

Got it this time!

Vaphoron · Aug 1, 2008, 02:27 PM

I don't have an iPhone yet but I'm glad this app is back because I'm sure I'll get it once I move up from my iPod Touch.

BigNTasty · Aug 1, 2008, 02:28 PM

I might buy this.

Shasterball · Aug 1, 2008, 02:28 PM

Any reason for why it was taken down?

jmwein · Aug 1, 2008, 02:29 PM

Can someone review this and let us know how it works? Thanks.

It doesn't appear in the AppStore on my iPhone.

Mykbibby · Aug 1, 2008, 02:31 PM

That is so awesome!!!! I purchased it immediately!

WillJS · Aug 1, 2008, 02:31 PM

And my Mac to buy this and sync to my iPhone isn't with me at the moment. Hopefully it comes up on the mobile App store, this is seriously useful for me.

If you read the article, it's only available via direct link at the moment.

I hope it's still there when I get home as this is the most usefull app released for iPhone so far.

scotty588 · Aug 1, 2008, 02:34 PM

Yay got it

lAciDl · 02:45 PM

not seeing it in itunes or the app store

edit: i could purchase it using the link in the OP.

bbplayer5 · Aug 1, 2008, 02:35 PM

Now if they would just approve mobilechat, id be all done for a while

Sweetbike40 · Aug 1, 2008, 02:35 PM

I'd love to get this too but what about AT&T? If it's now allowed, i'd be afraid of some large bill. I'd be the one to get caught too. This is kinda like an app that would allow you to share your phone line with another phone (so someone else could use it) without them knowing. Billed for one user.

jellis · Aug 1, 2008, 02:35 PM

in the itunes appstore it looks like it is now 12.99 but on my iphone it shows up as 9.99. In case anyone wants to save a few bucks before it is changed.

reelbgpunk · Aug 1, 2008, 02:35 PM

Does anyone know if this will work with T-mobile tzones or is that asking too much? I realize it would be very slow but could be good in a pinch.

Pixellated · Aug 1, 2008, 02:36 PM

1 word - w00t

Scooterman1 · Aug 1, 2008, 02:36 PM

I didn't hesitate on getting it this time!

This App shows up on your iPhone's mobile App Store?

jahsavi · Aug 1, 2008, 02:37 PM

awesome! got it!

Rojo · Aug 1, 2008, 02:37 PM

How good is this with an EDGE phone? Anyone know?

avboy · Aug 1, 2008, 02:38 PM

I am not sure what a socks5 proxy is... can someone explain? Is this just a web proxy to proxy http requests?

Or, can I run a vpn client on PC,
do file sharing, ssh, and the whole ball of wax?

stukdog · Aug 1, 2008, 02:38 PM

Something tells me there are going to be a lot of people buying it this morning. Brilliant marketing scheme? Doubt it.

I'm grabbing it anyway.
