Untethered Wifi connection

Live life untethered. No longer be tied to using a USB cable to connect the device and spoof location! Thanks to some updates in pymobiledevice3 I have integrated wifi capability into GeoPort

You will need to connect at least once with a USB cable to create / accept the pairing request. This enables the wifi connection to then be discovered after.

Please note: Wifi devices may not appear when the phone is locked. Wifi is also dependant on your network. The devices should be on the same LAN / Subnet as bonjour can have issues across network ranges / networking devices. If your device doesn't appear in the list. Unlock your device, hit refresh a few times. Wifi is not a guaranteed connection method etc etc but it's damn cool and works well!

How to install Mac version

MacOS installation has been improved to use the Apple DMG process I don't have a developer certificate to sign the app, so you will get some popups the first time after downloading. Open the DMG file then you can run GeoPort directly there, or you can drag it into your Applications folder

Additional Mac installation steps - One time only


Open `Settings` Select `Privacy & Security` Select `Open`


FAQ / Troubleshooting

Windows Specific

If you are running as administrator and receive Unable to create tunnel within timeout there is most likely a Windows firewall issue. When GeoPort runs for the first time, you receive a network access prompt when the tunnel adapter is created. In some cases, only a single option is selected. You need to select both Public and Private networks.

If GeoPort is already installed, you can change this setting by going into:

  • Control Panel - System and Security
  • Select Allow an app through Windows Firewall
  • Select Change settings
  • Scroll down to the entry for GeoPort
  • Your options here are:
  1. Allow both Public and Private
  2. Delete the entry for GeoPort. Re-run GeoPort and when prompted to allow connects - select both checkboxes
