requirement are not important). iPad 84
2. Connect to the Wi-Fi network you just created on your iPhone through the

Settings/Wi-Fi menu.
3. Tap on the blue arrow to the right of the selected Wi-Fi network, click Static in the Site News 10
IP Address menu and enter the following IP address and chuckle at its geek Uncategorized 7
quotient: 13.37.13.37
4. Next, enter 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.
5. Back out of the Settings menu to ensure these settings are saved (though hitting
the Home button right away shouldnʼt change them).
6. Go to your Mac or PC and change the network settings to use the SOCKS Proxy

AppShopper.com » Blog Archive » Handy Light: Tethering App Camouflaged as Flashlight 7/22/10 11:22 PM
and enter 13.37.13.37 as the Socks Proxy Server address and 1337 as the port.
On our Mac laptop, this is what the resulting screen looks like:
7. Be sure to apply/save these settings.

8. Go back to your iPhone and open the Handy Light app and tap the flashlight colors
at the bottom in the following sequence: blue, yellow, red. Then tap the top right
corner of the screen and the color should change to purple. Your iPhone is now
capable of sharing its internet connection with the computer you set up.
9. Leave the app open and go to your computer and start browsing. As the video
describes, we found that it took a few seconds for the connection to kick in but then
it worked like a charm. Though many variables affect network speed tests, a quick
test using Speedtest.net yielded 3.92 Mb/s down and 0.38 Mb/s up while tethered
to our iPhone 4 through Handy Light.
Of course, while we felt it was important to get this news out to you, itʼs almost guaranteed Apple will
remove this app from the App Store once the company learns of this hidden feature. Hopefully, this
wonʼt happen too soon and everyone can enjoy the tethering feature this app offers for a mere $.99
(comparatively, NetShare cost $9.99 when it was available). Now, what are you waiting for? Go buy
Handy Light and get your tethering on! Those of you on metered data plans should be careful
tethering with this app, however, since this can quickly eat up your data allotment. Also, since you
need to keep the app open for it to keep working and the 3G radio in your iPhone takes a lot of
power to run, this will likely drain your battery pretty quickly so be prepared and make sure your
iPhoneʼs AC charger is close at hand.
UPDATE: It looks like Apple has removed Handy Light from the App Store so it is no longer
available for purchase.

And be sure to return your proxy settings back to normal when you stop tethering.
Bob
9:05 pm, July 20th, 2010
Reason FF doesnʼt work, but Safari does, is that the Safari uses the system network settings
(which you just changed to work). Firefox has itʼs own Proxy settings under:
Preferences >> Advanced >> Network >> Settings
Change it there in FF, and now it will work

No joy for me. iPhone 4 using iOS 4.0.1. Firstly, I canʼt view the video (now marked private)
so I worked from the written instructions. As far as I can tell, Iʼve done everything right, but
Safari will not connect out via the phone (no Internet connection). Is there maybe something
incorrect in the written instructions? For instance, it never talks about changing the IP of the
Mac. Mine is just stuck with a self-assigned 169.x.x.x address.
Thanks!

Bobby: Not a chance. Apps have a fair bit of control over the network environment, but they
canʼt play with the USB connection at all.
Amusingly, it could be done over the audio port, with the headset connecter connected to the
Macʼs mic/line out connectors with a Y adaptor, and a custom TCP stack written that
implements ʻtcp-over-audioʼ.
But that would be awfully silly.

To answer all the Win7 questions, This does not work with Windows 7, and anyone that says
other wise needs to put up instructions or shut up. I have attempted to configure this on both
my Win7 laptop and my MBP, works flawlessly on the Mac, no joy on Windows. Something to
do with the way WIn7 handles the SOCKS proxy settings it would appear. (yes tried IE, FF,
Chrome, Opera and Safari)
Only Safari would connect on the Mac. As previously stated, no email, skype or other chat
functions basic browsing is about it. Handy if in a pinch I suppose, but there are so many
WiFi hotspots, tethering doesnt really matter to me.

I got it to work in Windows 7 but only in Chrome browser. Strangely, I couldnʼt get other
browsers to work (IE, FF, Opera). I also tested Skype and it worked. I made a VoIP call to a
toll free number and it sounded pretty good.
Steps:
1. Create ad-hoc connection without encryption (iPhone was unable to connect to my ad-hoc
network if I setup encryption. I wonder if this is a security risk to my laptop/iPhone)

2. Search for “Manage wireless networks” and open it.
3. Select the newly created access point (AP) and click ʻadapter propertiesʼ from the toolbar
above.
3. click on ʻInternet Protocol version 4′ and click properties.
4. Set a static IP address (13.37.13.36 for example). 255.255.255.0 as netmask. 8.8.4.4
(Googleʼs DNS server, not sure if itʼs required)
5. Configure proxy settings in IE -> Interet options -> connections -> LAN settings -> Use a
proxy server -> advanced -> SOCKS type -> 13.37.13.37 port 1337
6. Close all open windows and connect to the ad-hoc access point.
Now, open Chrome or Skype and it should work fine.

Windows Vista/Windows 7 Instructions:
1) Follow this guide up to #6.

2) Instead of #6, go to the “Network Sharing Center” and click “Manage Network
Connections”
3) Right-click “Wireless Network Connection” and go to “Properties.”
4) Select the “IPv4″ option and click “Properties”
5) Click the “Alternate configuration tab and select “User Configured”
6) In the IP Address field type 13.37.13.xx (where “xx” is any number from 1-255 but ISNʼT
37)
7) Set Subnet to 255.0.0.0
Open Chrome, Safari, or Explorer (these are easier to work with than Firefox) – Get into
“Internet Properties,” click “LAN Settings”
9) Deselect “Automatically Detect…,” Select “Use proxy server for…,” and click “Advanced”
button
10) Clear the first 3 fields, type 13.37.13.37 and 1337 into the appropriate “Socks” field.
Deselect “Use same proxy server for all…”
11) Click “Okay” on all of those windows and enjoy.

to get this working on Windows 7:
set up the adhoc wifi network and all the other instructions in the post.
Open the network settings for your wireless adapter. Give your wireless adapter an IP of
13.37.13.38 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0
If you use other wi-fi connection then set this IP as the alternate IP rather so you donʼt get
the 169.x.x.x default Windows IP.
open a command prompt (type cmd in the search bar)
type ipconfig /all to verify that you adapter has 13.37.13.38.

to test that you are reaching your iphone do the following from the command prompt:
ping 13.37.13.37
you should see:
Pinging 13.37.13.37 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 13.37.13.37: bytes=32 time=16ms TTL=52
next do the following to verify that the iphone proxy is up:
telnet 13.37.13.37 1337
if the screen returns a cursor then you are connecting to your iphone
- if both tests fail then you are not reaching you iphone, make sure you have the proxy app
turned on (purple screen) and that you followed all the insturctions above. Google windows
ad hoc networks if you canʼt get to this point.
Open firefox
go to tools>>network tab>>Settings
click on Manual proxy configuration

under SOCKS Host enter 13.37.13.37 port 1337
select SOCKS v4
hit ok, now comes the missing step!
1) In the browser location bar (the place where you type web addresses), type about:config
and press Enter. This opens a different set of Firefox preferences.
2) Where it says ʻFilter:ʼ at the top, type network.proxy.socks. The list of preferences will
automatically change to show your proxy preferences.
3) Highlight ʻnetwork.proxy.socks_remote_dnsʼ by clicking it only once. Then, right-click it.
This opens a small pull-down menu. Select ʻToggleʼ from the menu to change its value to
ʻtrueʼ.
you can also double click to change the value to ʻtrueʼ
# Close Firefox and restart it.
browse the Internet on AT&T!!!

I got it working with my iPad using my unjailbroke 3gs on 4.0.1 using this app (and my mac),
itʼs dirty….
- start the adhoc network on my mac and get my mac working on the proxy as per the
youtube video.
- setup a http webserver on the mac (or locally on the ipad if you can) and serve a file titled
socks.pac with the following contents:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {

return “SOCKS 13.37.13.37:1337″;
}
connect the ipad to the adhoc network and set the proxy to auto (on the ipad) and the url is
going to be the url of the MAC which serves socks.pac

m. On Windows XP, verify that “Network Connections” icon on
System Tray shows as “connected”
n. On Safari: browse to “http://www/google.com” or
click “Refresh” several times
o. The connection is not stable or persistent on Windows XP, so
you may have to do steps 5a-5n very quickly

TIP:
* Open a Command Prompt window and run this “ping -t 13.37.13.37″
It will keep the connection from failing. Iʼve actually tether-connected both my Windows XP
laptop and MacBookPro at the same time browsing the internet and performance was pretty
impressive.

@Shredrca Tethering for XP is not working. When added an IP address in step (p) under
Window Xp>>>> For IP Address: type “13.37.13.38″>>>the IP only take 3 digit numbers, not
2>>>For example, i must add something like 113.137.133.38 for the computer to accept that
IP address. And also why is the win XP is given 13.37.13.38, while the iPhone was given
13.37.13.37 in the static tab and 13.37.13.37 in the Proxy for the Safari with port 1337?
Pleasee help!!

alternatives to proxifier, but since that seems to be working well iʼll just buy it.
