Configuring

[420jammer]

This is truly a great resource! Thank you!

I got the app onto my phone with no problem, and the first time I set it up according to this guide:
https://github.com/tcurdt/iProxy/wiki/Configuring-iProxy

it worked fine.

However, when I tried to reconnect it afterwards, I couldn't get it working. Deleting the ad-hoc network and disconnecting, I started over reconfiguring from the instructions again, and it worked, but once again, afterwards I couldn't reconnect after I disconnected once.

Now, finally, even following the exact same steps on the page, I can't get iProxy to work on my phone at all.

My two questions are: Why would I be able to connect originally, and then not able to get it to work now? And once I manage to get it configured again, shouldn't I just be able to select the ad-hoc network on my computer, select the network on my phone, and then just run-iproxy?

Thank you for your time and help. Again, this app has already provided great joy to my life and has helped ease my internet withdrawal.

Edit: I've tried trouble-shooting this as much as possible. I verified my phone still had connection, I tried both manual and automatic proxying, I reset my devices, etc. It worked before, but I just can't get it working again, and I can't figure out what the difference is. When I try to browse now, I get a spinning wheel but pages never load.

You're one up on me... once I got it installed on my iPad2, I followed the configuration instructions carefully but couldn't get it to work even once with my MacBook Air. I was going to try again when I had time, but your report of flaky reliability makes me wonder whether I should bother.

Hey solmaker,

So I ended up figuring out the problem after reading some of the other bug reports. The SOCKS proxy is faulty, and usually only operational for a few moments. Unfortunately, this is the proxy suggested to use in the set-up documentation.
After I noticed that in the other bug reports, I switched to just using the HTTPS proxy (instead of SOCKS), and it has been working fine for me. I should have probably done that from the beginning, but I just didn't suspect an issue with the proxy, I figured it was something I was doing.

Anyway, with that figured out...complete reliability. Has worked 100% of the time.
I just came back from a cabin in VT with my girlfriend's family...I tore my ankle skateboarding so I wasn't able to snowboard and had to stay in the cabin all day. iProxy saved my life...between unlimited internet in the middle of nowhere and my weed stash, it was a good vacation.

This is definitely worth your time, and until the jailbreak exploit is released later this year, probably going to be your only option for truly unlimited tethering. Hope that helps dude.
