Couple weeks ago, I was waiting in the hospital line and luckily I had my MBP with me. I turned it on and tried Internet connection, but no luck. There was no free wireless access anywhere close :( Then I tried to connect through my iPhone 3G. This time I was lucky, it just worked. Here is how I did:
// 1. Create an Ad-HOC wireless network over Airport
// 2. Connect iPhone to this network
// 3. ssh to iPhone using following snippet
ssh -ND 9999 root@IP_ADDRESS
// 4. set your browsers socks proxy to localhost:9999
// Done.
// 2. Connect iPhone to this network
// 3. ssh to iPhone using following snippet
ssh -ND 9999 root@IP_ADDRESS
// 4. set your browsers socks proxy to localhost:9999
// Done.
Unfortunately this only works for a Jailbroken iPhone. Anyways, it saved my boring time in that line. Hope it helps to you too.
If your phone is already jailbroken check out PdaNet, works without having to change any proxy settings in your browser

May 18, 2009, 6:07 PMits a shame there is not much about this topic, i’d like to use no additional app even is it jb.. but there’s an app for almost everything
