Routing moible device network through a computer

  1. enable server on a external public port mate /etc/apache2/httpd.conf insure that Apache is allowing traffic from the outside:
# no external access to web server
# Listen localhost:80
# Listen localhost:443

# allow traffic from external IPs
Listen 80
Listen 443
  1. restart apache. In terminal run sudo apachectl restart
  2. install Charles Proxy http://charlesproxy.com (or any other proxy server).
  3. Connect the computer to a wired connection and the wireless to the same network the mobile device is on.
  4. Turn on the proxy. proxy > proxy settings... > proxies and check enable transparent HTTP proxying
  5. on the mobile device send all traffic to the computer's proxy server. On iOS go to settings > wifi > select your wifi and click the icon on the far right > under HTTP Proxy > click Manual > for server enter the wifi IP address of your computer (find the IP with terminal via ifconfig), for port enter 8888
  6. When the mobile device connects, Charles will pop-up a dialog to approve the device. Once approved all traffic will be through Charles Proxy.

SSL Traffic

  1. If there is HTTPS data then enable SSL proxying. proxy > proxy settings... > ssl and check enable SSL proxying, click add and enter all the URLs in the Host field
  2. download the certificate for charles proxy to decrypt and rencrypt your traffic. On the mobile device go to http://charlesproxy.com/charles.crt and install the certificate.

Troubleshooting

Error: "Failed to load resource: The certificate for this server is invalid. ..." in the console log or images/code not download. Cause: You have SSL traffic but it's not appoved. Make sure the SSL server is added to Charles Proxy under SSL proxying and that the mobile device has the certificate installed.
