create an ad hoc network, and go into your proxy settings. set up a socks proxy just like in the mac version. bam.

I can't get win7 to work either. Tired setting proxy systemwide and using IE and also tried using firefox. Is it normal for the win7 host to have a self assigned 169 ip address?
 
Mother****ing Jesus Christ. How the **** do you get to the correct proxy settings in Windows? I tried the one in LAN settings in Internet Options and the one in Tools of FF. NOTHING WORKS.

Yeah I think so. I also tried setting my ip manually to 13.37.13.36, and it still doesnt work
 
With other apps Apple may have found everything or they may not have. You're right, we can't be sure.

With this app we ARE sure they didn't find everything. So that's the difference.

Why does that make it more likely that there's something malicious? AFAICT, this developer/app doesn't do something especially cunning to get past the approval process. If Apple's testing method is inadequate then we can conclude nothing.

But I'm sure we're about to enjoy Apple's studying the activity of the app to check for malicious behaviour (the only justification for using the kill switch), meaning that it'll end up even better audited than the average app. Perhaps it'll end up the most trustworthy third party App ever on the store :D.

I cant get it to work in win7 either...
 
You need to set it up as a SOCKS proxy on port 1337. The ip address can be anything, that part doesn't matter.
 
win 7

I can't get it to work either... Here's what I've tried so far...

Manually set IP on wireless card to 13.37.13.38 and gateway to 13.37.13.37.

I'm able to ping the iphone at the 13.37.13.37 IP

I've set the proxy settings in IE and Firefox to the required settings and it's not working.

Is this an elaborate scam?
 
Downloaded, installed, and working - for now anyway.

Has anyone been able to add their wifi ipad to the ad-hoc network and tether the internet through the iphone too? That would be sweet.

Is this even possible? :confused:

I tried the same thing, but got nowhere
 
I'm sure by the time I wake up this will be pulled, but for now tethering is mine.

Very interested to see if they bust out the kill switch on this one! I hope not though.
 
posting this message using the tether connection from iPhone 4 to my MacBook. Works absolutely perfect. Probably the most useful purchase than I did in app store.
 
um so i did it. But now my home network won't work. It works on my iphone and ipad but i can't get it to work on my mbp even though it shows connected. I can't even change the proxies or anything when i go advanced anymore, its all locked out. HELP.
 
I have tried it multiple times and it does not work for me. I see so many other people getting it to work but I am not. In the video, system preferences airport changed to connected right after he clicks apply in system prefs. However, once I click apple, it never connects. I will go into the app and make it purple and no webpages ever load on my MBP. What am I doing wrong?!?!
 
Works for me

Paid my buck, followed the (convoluted) instructions on the Web site and it worked great--not nearly as slow as I expected it to be. No problems getting everything back to normal afterwards, either.

I know Apple will pull it before long; I just hope they don't remote kill it eventually as well.
