NetShare is going to create waves for sure. This app was something which every iPhone user wanted iPhone to have as a default option. Now that NetShare is out and being downloaded via AppStore every min, the tethering bit is changing the way internet is accessed via laptops on the move. You can download this app from App Store now.

AppleInsider has posted a 10 step guide to sharing your iPhone’s connection legally and with ease. Please click here to directly check that post which explains the steps with visuals. Here is how to do it quickly:

• Step 1: Open “System Preferences” on your Mac and go to the “Network” section.
• Step 2: Locate your Wi-Fi (AirPort) interface and choose “Create Network…” from the Network Name drop down.
• Step 3: Pick a network name, such as “NetShare” and optionally provide a password.
• Step 4: Now click “Advanced” for the Wi-Fi interface.
• Step 5: Select the TCP/IP tab and enter a TCP/IP address (Using HDHCP with manual address) for your computer, such as 192.168.10.2
• Step 6: Now click the “Proxies” tab and select and enable the SOCKS Proxy option, specify your iPhone’s IP (which you will configure on your iPhone later) for the Proxy Server and enter 1080 for the port field. If you used 192.168.10.2 for your Mac, you would want to use 192.168.10.1 for your iPhone (and the “SOCKS Proxy Server”).
• Step 7: Now click “OK” and then click “Apply.” Your Mac is now configured. Time to configure your iPhone.
• Step 8: Now, go to “Settings” on your iPhone and select the “Wi-Fi” option. Click the blue Arrow next to the Wi-Fi network you selected and choose “Static” for the “IP Address” option.
• Step 9: In the “IP Address” field enter the iPhone IP address you entered into your Mac earlier (192.168.10.1).
• Step 10: Now hit the home button on your iPhone, launch the NetShare app and try and access a page on your Mac in Safari. You should be all set.
