Another disadvantage of Wireshark is that it is very difficult to set up on Mac because you need to fix some permissions as well as being an allround packet inspector and so it takes quite a bit of getting used to to be able to read HTTP with it. I recommend the Charles Web Debugging Proxy, which is free to try (15 minutes at a time) and is definitely worth the purchase. But if you want to look under the hood of encrypted HTTPS then you need something stronger. This works fine as long as you are only interested in HTTP traffic. It is free, multi-platform and runs on Mac via X11. There are many more or less geeky possibilities to inspect the traffic that’s now going via your Mac between the Internet and your iPhone. To prove that Internet Connectivity is there, just open mobile Safari to any website and see if it appears. But usually it should be staying happily connected to your Ad-Hoc WiFi. reverts to the cellular data icon, then disable cellular data via General – Network and switching cellular data off. If this does not want to stay on the WiFi connection i.e. You should see via the status bar that you are staying connected. So we enter Settings, WiFi and connect to the WLAN we just created. Now we want to see if this setup works and we get actual Internet connectivity via our Mac. And actually however funny we choose our WLAN name does not matter because the Mac renames the Ad-Hoc network to be the same as the computer, in my case: iDrops. The WiFi symbol changes again, now it looks like an upward pointing arrow. We check Internet Sharing and see that we are sharing our connection from Ethernet to computers using AirPort, just like we want it to. So we go into the system settings and open the Sharing options. Next we need to share our wired Internet connection over the ad-hoc WLAN. You will now see an ad-hoc symbol instead of the signal strength and your Mac will show as connected to the network. If you want to you could choose an encryption but we won’t bother. Right-Click on the WiFi symbol in the task bar and “Create Network” First we create an ad-hoc network on our Mac.
