so it says only for 32bit, will it work for 64bit? cuz i got vista64 bit on my laptop i really want to use this for work. Well you get it to work with 64bit anytime soon?

You'll need to ask google - I didn't write the drivers.

This is the 64 bit version of the USB driver. It's unsigned, so before installing it you'll have to put Vista into test mode or it will refuse to load the driver:
1) Type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" at an admin command prompt
2) Reboot
3) Check to see if the desktop says "Test Mode" on the corners
After that you should be able to install it like a normal driver. If adb seems to be freezing occassionally, try using adb_fixed.exe instead (don't forget to kill the adb server first).
So yesterday I discovered that OpenVPN will happily tunnel over a SOCKS proxy, and proceeded to set it up to connect between my (Mac) laptop and my Mac server at home. Here's how to get it working with, I think, any combination of Windows, *nix, or OS X.
1. Use dyndns.com or some other dynamic DNS service to attach your home IP. (See http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/.) Make sure that your DSL modem/cable modem/home router is allowing through port 1194 (TCP) to the machine you're going to be using as a server.
2a. If you're on OS X, you need to install the TUN/TAP drivers. The easiest way to get these is by downloading tunnelblick and running it once; it will install tun.kext and tap.kext in /Library/Extensions. If you're feeling particular, you can use Show Package Contents on the tunnelblick app, and copy the kext files to /Library/Extensions from the Contents/Resources/ directory in the app package.
2b. If you're on Linux, you might need to load the TUN module, use "sudo modprobe tun".
3. Install OpenVPN 2.x on the client.
A. On a Mac, the easiest way is to use MacPorts. You can just run "sudo port install openvpn2" in a Terminal. There's also a GUI called Viscosity that works really well, but costs $9, and a free one called tunnelblick that I haven't tried.
B. On Windows, there's a GUI, or command-line version.
C. On Linux/BSD, use your package manager of choice. Just make sure you get version 2.x.
4. Install OpenVPN on the server; the install process is the same as for the client.
5. Generate SSL certificates for security. There's an OpenVPN HOWTO that has good directions for Windows and most *nix distributions. If you installed OpenVPN using MacPorts, the scripts referenced in the HOWTO will be in /opt/local//share/doc/openvpn2/easy-rsa. Follow the HOWTO through building both the client (./build-key client) and server (./build-key-server server) certificates as well as the Diffie-Hellman file (./build-dh) At the end, you should have six files:
dh1024.pem
server.crt
server.key
client.crt
client.key
ca.crt
ca.key
Make a directory on your laptop for holding the client certificates (this directory can be anywhere) and put a copy of ca.crt, client.crt, and client.key in it.
Make a directory on the server for holding the server certificates, and put a copy of ca.crt, server.crt, server.key in it.
6. Configure the server. This is a little tricky, because it's easy to allow the client to connect to the server, but getting from there out to the internet requires some fanciness.
First, create a configuration file for openvpn; just paste the following into a text file on the server (call it server.conf or something). Change the paths as appropriate.
Code:
port 1194
proto tcp
dev tun
ca /path/to/ca.crt
cert /path/to/server.crt
key /path/to/server.key
dh /path/to/dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222" # this is OpenDNS; change if you want
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
A. On Mac OS X: You're basically enabling Internet Sharing, but without the DHCP server. Do this by opening Terminal and running:
D. On Windows, you have to make a couple of changes to server.conf. Change the "server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0" line to read "server 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0" and the line "dev tun" to read "dev tap". Then follow the directions here to enable Internet Connection Sharing (stop reading when he gets to the part about the configuration files.)
7. Start OpenVPN on the server. From the command line, run:
Code:
openvpn2 /path/to/server.conf
8. Configure OpenVPN on the client by creating a configuration file (call it client.conf) containing the following:
Code:
persist-key
tls-client
remote www.aradine.com 1194
proto tcp-client
port 1194
ca /path/to/ca.crt
cert /path/to/client.crt
key /path/to/client.key
redirect-gateway def1
dev tun
persist-tun
comp-lzo
nobind
socks-proxy localhost 1080
pull
9. Enable USB debugging on your phone, start the SOCKS proxy in Tetherbot, and then start up Android tethering and run OpenVPN on the client by opening a terminal and running:
10. Browse internet, use IM, whatever. No extra configuration needed. To kill OpenVPN, just hit Ctrl-C in the window where you ran it. If you don't reboot your server, you can reconnect over and over again.
Good luck!
Side bonus - access to your home network from anywhere; if you remove the "socks-proxy" line from client.conf, you can connect when you're not using Android tethering.
This sounds great. Does anyone know if it's possible to tether the phone to a powerpc mac? I'd love to try this on my powerbook. The sdk is i386 only I think... but I wonder if the adb part of the software can be compiled for powerpc.... does anyone have any ideas about this, or whether other software can be used to establish the tunnel to the phone?
I can browse files on the g1 using the mac and usb, but there's just no adb command I can find :-(
So yesterday I discovered that OpenVPN will happily tunnel over a SOCKS proxy, and proceeded to set it up to connect between my (Mac) laptop and my Mac server at home. Here's how to get it working with, I think, any combination of Windows, *nix, or OS X.

Geezus...(looks like you have unix skills)
If you have root access to your phone you can setup an wifi Ad-hoc network and use iptables to do actual tethering, (no proxy, no tunnel)...
ok, i am new to this since i just got my G1 yesterday, i can get it to work, but after about 15- 20 mins i start getting a message saying that the proxy is refusing my connection, this happens with both foxy proxy and proxifier, is there something that i may have over looked. When this happens i have to restart both my comp and my g1 to get it to work again. I am using 32 bit vista, i used the exe file that was posted a page or two back to install the drivers and run it while running Tetherbot and either Foxy Proxy or Proxifier. I don't know what RC I have. It happens with Firefox and Chrome, and Im assuming IE, I never use it
First, Hats off to you Graham....this app deff made the phone for me. I wanted to cry when I was told tethering didn't come with it.
My question is, and excuse me for being a noob, even though I can connect through Firefox (with FoxyProxy) and IE isn't working for me, is there any hope for us that play online games. I work overnights and have alot of time on my hands and being able to tether my Wing and play things like Wow, EQ2, Warhammer, Aoc, SWG.....the list goes on, was a God-send. The Edge network wasn't anything to write home about, but it was atleast playable. Now that I got this working I was sadly discouraged when I couldn't log on to those servers.
I know I am not the only 1 who plays online games and I haven't seen any posts regarding it so here it is. I do have some friends that are programmers that play aswell, so they might be able to write an app for it but I am simply the 1st to get the phone and can't program my VCR.
Thanks for everything so far....keep up the great work.

Proxifier will run all connections through the proxy but even so the proxy doesnt like all connections but its worth a try, also if u download it, its a limited 30 day trial. I havent been able to locate a cracked copy yet.
Here's the official site (hope i'm not stepping on any feet posting it) www.proxifier.com/
I found a full version of proxifier but registered version did not change my problem, more so I just realized I didnt say thanks to Beeny and Manacit for first mentioning Proxifier, JDaddin for the shell, and Graham for the proxy. If i ever can get this to fully work you all will be legends in my book
question: why does youtube work with tetherbot, but ninjavideo.net doesn't (both divx and flash)
thanks
ninjavideo uses some insane proxying java application (if you look at the location of the divx video, you'll see its coming from 127.0.0.1:####, which is the java app connecting to somewhere and relaying the video). I assume the java applet bypasses the proxy.
Does anyone have tethering through the G1 working with windows, IE-7 and Proxifier; if so could you post a set of steps you went through to get it working?
I believe the drivers are installed; when I plug my G1 in I can then select the mount option on the G1 then the device shows up in windows explorer. Does this indicate that the drivers are installed properly?
Where in Proxifier do I set localhost and port 1080?

No. I believe when you mount the device (SD Card), it is seen as a mass storage device on Windows and Linux both. In this case, the OS's generic mass storage device drivers are used not the Android drivers.
I got it to work in firefox with foxyProxy and can go on all sorts of websites through the G1's 3g connection, but it seems like any page that contains flash requires multiple "refresh" clicks to get it to load completely. i.e. speedtest.net or youtube.com would only load after I click refresh 3 to 4 times. I have no problem with that, but I just tried to go to www.hulu.com but no shows would load but all other content does....?

Run Proxifier, then go into options, then Proxy settings
When Tetherbot comes up on your phone do you start both the Socks Proxy Server and the Port Bouncer or just Socks Proxy Server; if you start the Port Bouncer what IP Address or Hostname and Port To Forward To are you using

any idea why it suddenly would stop working? data on the phone is working. i plug it in, mount, start proxy with tetherbot, run the adb, load firefox w foxyproxy and i get nothing. it worked fine yesterday, now its busted, any ideas?
Run Proxifier, then go into options, then Proxy settings
Which proxy servers are you using socks 5, socks 4, or HTTPS or are you using any combinations? What options are you setting for the servers you are using?
for the adb application are you using the following command; adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080?
under the device manager what ADB Interface shows up, mine is HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface?

I have IE 7 working while using Proxifier and I didn't configure anything in IE
First run Tetherbot on your phone, second start up proxifier, third run the adb on your desktop/laptop.
Do you have the G1 driver installed in your pc?
Also, configure Proxifier to connect at localhost, Port 1080 and your set.
Good Luck
I know you said you didn't change anything in IE, however could you tell me on the connections page of the internet options dialog are there any dial-up or Virtual Private Networks and could you tell me if any of the check boxes are selected on the LAN Settings dialog and if the Proxy server is selected on that dialog and if it is what the settings are?

In IE 7, internet options>connections there is nothing checked, no proxy settings or anything. Under LAN settings, everything is blank as well. If Automatically Detect Settings is checked, uncheck it. I have nothing in the Dial-up, VPN settings as well...
Got it working for me! I'm sitting in Starbucks using the t-mobile hotspot connection on the phone. The connection is slow, but it's going through a long series of tubes, so I guess that's why. Thanks for your hard work!
A tip for people who are having trouble:
I was unable to get it working using Firefox's default proxy function. Install the foxyproxy add-on, and do the following:
1. Go to the foxyproxy options, and under the proxies tab, create a new proxy called "Android Tether", or anything you like.
2. Hit "Add New Proxy", "manual configuration", and under host name put "localhost", and under port name put "1080".
3. Select the "Socks Proxy" checkbox, and Socks V5 option.
4. Now hit "Okay" to go back to the main options dialog, and in the "Global Settings" tab, select "Use SOCKS Proxy for DNS Lookup"
Firefox will restart, now go to the FoxyProxy menu, and select "Android Tether", or whatever you named your connection.
You should have internets now, at least this is what worked for me.

Okay, I am extremely frustrated. I just got my G1 today. I have done everything suggested in this thread and nothing is working.
I am on Windows Vista using Firefox 2.0.0.18 (I did "Check for updates" and it says there are no new updates)
Here's what I do:
I've successfully installed Tetherbot.apk on my phone
I've successfully installed the Android driver & SDK on my Windows Vista laptop
I downloaded the FoxyProxy addon and configured it with the settings from this thread.
I turned off my WiFi and made sure that the network.proxy.socks_remote_dns setting from the about:config was set to True
I have enabled USB debugging
I connect my phone to my laptop with the USB cord
I go to the Tetherbot app on my phone and Start Socks
I run adb from the cmd line. It says "daemon started successfully"
I set FoxyProxy to "Tetherbot".
I try to load a page and get "The proxy server is refusing connections". I restart Firefox and get the same error.
I have rebooted and started all over from the beginning several times. I have never gotten it to work.
Can anyone please please help me? We travel a lot and I use tethering all the time... I was crushed when I found out the G1 didn't support tethering. I feel like I am doing everything right and this really should work! Is there something I'm overlooking?
Yes! Tonight I got socks proxy and tunneling working with Vista & Android RC29. Followed all instructions from http://graha.ms/androidproxy/
I was able to surf using Proxifier.
I couldn't get firefox proxy or foxyproxy to work for some reason but with Proxifier it started right up. Very little hassle! Proxifier is a neat little application and everyone should be using it if they are to tether using tetherbot. It gives you progress while you surf letting you know which addresses it connects to, or lack thereof. Proxifier is a must if you like this form of tethering!
It is simple to re-establish the connection.
If I felt the connection was messing up I would go into the task manager and force close adb then unplug and replug my phone's usb. Then start tetherbot socks then again start adb.
For tunneling I used SSH Secure Shell Client, but I probably could have just used putty.
In my phone I typed the linux server ip and 22 for the port. SSHD was running on the server. Once adb was closed i started it up with port 4444 just like the settings from the original article. Then typed localhost for hostname and 4444 for the port in the connect to server dialog in SSH Secure Shell Client and voila! Next up X forwarding. Haha
PROPS to Graham Stewart and androidforums.
Proxifier - I'm not sure if anyone has posted up the how to on Proxifier. It is really simple. Just click the first icon 'proxy settings' and 'add' the hostname and port. Socks5 of course and it will automatically use local and then remote to resolve your dns hostnames. Otherwise you can click on the 'dns' icon and the options are there. You will know its working when you go to a site in firefox and the firefox icon will appear in proxifier and tell you what its trying to download. For some sites it just failed for some reason and no icon appeared and I had to refresh the page or try to 'reestablish connection' as I stated above.
Good Luck

I get the same message on Windows XP, 2000 and Vista Home Premium. The only constant is i am running RC30 patch (Google Approved). I ran ADB w/ multiple commands, started tetherbot on my device, fixed the socks dns issue in firefox after installing FoxyProxy and configuring, installed firefox 2x and 3x w/ FoxyProxy, restarted adb multiple times. Gave up at this point and installed Proxifier. Anyone have any insight into why this may not be working for me? I tested this at home with Wifi Enabled on the G1 and 3G network. Both come up with the same error. Just to note as well i have the SDK on my laptop i have tested with as well as the stand-alone adb tool.
Now here is the weird thing... If i enable the "Use SOCKS proxy for DNS" in firefox / foxyproxy and firefox restarts, my google homepage loads. But after that i get connection refused. VERY ODD!! I am going CRAZY with this!!! AHHHHH. lol. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks grahamsz for this wonderful tool. Just hope I am not screwed with the RC30 update...
Hi,
I believe I can get help here.
It looks I am not able to install android_usb_windows driver on HP 6910p. I tried a few same models, I got the same issue. I followed the instruction to install android_usb_windows on HP laptop that is running XP with SP3. For some reasons, installation is failure. System show "cannot install this hardware, there was a problem installing this hardware...HTC Dream Composite ADB interface…". I also got the same problem after I updated HP BIOS. When I tried one of Dell laptops, it looks installation fine.
Does anyone have similar problem on HP laptop? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you download Android SDK or did you use the ADB utility
also in \tools\foxtproxy\more\global settings\, select 'use SOCKS proxy for DNS lookup'

I go to the Tetherbot app on my phone and Start Socks
I run adb from the cmd line. It says "daemon started successfully"
I set FoxyProxy to "Tetherbot".
I try to load a page and get "The proxy server is refusing connections". I restart Firefox and get the same error.
I have rebooted and started all over from the beginning several times. I have never gotten it to work.
Can anyone please please help me? We travel a lot and I use tethering all the time... I was crushed when I found out the G1 didn't support tethering. I feel like I am doing everything right and this really should work! Is there something I'm overlooking?
Just one issue I ran into with the link on http://graha.ms/androidproxy/ It says "Follow the instructions here to install the Android driver - you'll need to do this on Windows & Linux but apparently not on the Mac. " On the link, I could not find the drivers anywhere on the page. I finally did a Google search and found a cached version of the page that had the USB driver (android_usb_windows.zip)
It looks like they changed the page recently and the driver link is now missing.
Hi. I don't know much about computers, so if someone could please explain this to me like they would a child, that would be super. I'm using Windows XP.
1. When I click on the adb icon, it pops up for one second and then closes out. What am I doing wrong?
2. As far as the ports go, how do I even know what port to use? What hostname would I use?
Thanks in advance!

, That's what I had to do to get mine work, changing it in tools/options/advanced/network/settings sounds like it would work too.
