Not really but good guess. We didn't make TetherMe. Maybe you mean iTether?

That's a good question. We'll change that.

I'm assuming you mean the ad-hoc password. I will change this in the next release.

I can assure you that the data is encrypted from the phone to the server and never stored anywhere.

Yeah, we almost have this working an know there is a huge demand for it. Still a few technical hurdles to solve though.

Thanks, I'll get our web dev guy to look into that.

Yes they do. We've tested them on iPhones, BlackBerry browser, and the Aurora browser on Android.

I was able to get the original before it was pulled from the App Store. it worked well, glad to see they found a work around. I expect some type of backlash from AT&T/Verizon/Sprint However, I hope they make enough to afford the lawyers.

Hey guys. I'm the developer behind this tech.

Glad to see it's got you thinking :). It took a lot of brainstorming and testing/debugging to get this up and running.

Hope you enjoy it!

It did get me and I'm sure a lot of other people thinking. Would you mind answering this Quora question that I set up so I can sleep tonight?

I can't really go into much more detail than the first responder did without getting into trouble :)

Let's just say it's magic.

If that’s how it works it means that all my data is going through your proxy server. Is that correct? Is the connection encrypted?

If that were the case they could easily market a "lite" version that required a personal proxy (at half the cost?). Then to build off that, a corporate version for ~$200*(size) that could be used for your employees using your company proxy. I wonder if they could do mac auth or allow ldap calls for user verification. I could even see this as going so far as a lightweight VPN (if possible).

Yes we have proxy servers. And yes the connection is encrypted

What's to stop the carriers from simply blocking (or throttling) your proxy servers? Or conversely, simply detecting which customers connect to your proxy servers and automatically charging them for tethering (as they've already done in other cases).

Any plans for Linux clients?

If anything, simply releasing a "Here's what the client is doing so recreate it however possible..." might suffice.
